Seriously, the Poiponen13 filter needs to have the fourth letter wildcard turned off.

I have no idea what is going on. I posted, and I am seeing, a completely different link

[hotdogPi]

It's an overzealous forum filter. Because of Poiponen13, there's a filter where any word that begins with "mai" and ends with "a", regardless of what's in between, is replaced with John Madden. I've complained several times, and it's still not fixed.

I have emailed Scott5114.

[Rothman]

Weird way of moderating the forum.

[Mr. Matté]

Maybe can you just do a bit.ly or tinyurl link for now while the spokesman for the Popcorn Popper does his thing?

Fixed.

Along the one block, wrong-way concurrency of US 202 and NY 59, there is no sign westbound on NY 59 telling motorists that eastbound US 202 makes that right turn onto Wayne Avenue. So why not mount one on the right side of this overhead directional sign right here?

I was reading the Interstate Facts of the Day, you know, like you do, and I came across this entry for July 5:

Crossing Allen Creek in Rochester, New York, I-490 is carried across a 75 to 80-foot section of a structure that was built in 1905 for the Rochester to Syracuse interurban railroad.  The twin-cell concrete rigid frame structure with an arch top was built to look like stone.  In 1956/1957 when that section of the Interstate was built in Rochester, traffic on one side of the Interstate was carried on this 1905 structure, with the other side carried on a new concrete structure.  In 1991, the structure was lengthened to accommodate a widened Interstate, but the 1905 structure remains in use.

I've been looking for this bridge on Google Maps and elsewhere, and while I've found a lot of interesting information on I-490, the Rochester and Syracuse Railroad, and the Erie Canal, I cannot for the life of me locate this bridge. Does anyone know where it might be?

Getting back to the bridge itself, it seems like you're right and that the bridge is just essentially unnoticeable:

[02 Park Ave]

The  Popolopen Arch Bridge on Route 9W in Orange County has been reopened.

It had been closed since the July 9 storm when some of its underpinnings were washed out.

Anyone else read that as Poiponen arch?

Looks like they fixed it more easily than I thought they would. When I heard what the floods did to it, I thought they were going to need a total replacement.

This seems to me as a completely random question, but is there any information out there about CR 11 previously being NY 866?  I noticed it on OSM as I was looking at I-86/NY 17 on Travel Mapping.

I'm guessing you mean Steuben County CR-11:
CR-11 only exists south of I-86; the road from I-86 to NY-415 is reference route NY-960U. However, due to NYSDOT policy discouraging changing route numbers on reference markers, the RMs still have NY-866, the reference route number from the old RR system most likely, on them, rather than NY-960U. Likewise, NY-415 itself still has NY-15 reference markers, since it was previously NY-15.

As does I-86

Earlier today I was looking at the signage history of the New York State Thruway as it approaches the Plattekill Service Area:

Yeah, man. No more TTY available there.

It's not just that. It's all the other amenities they used to brag about.

For the record, Florida rest areas still have pay phones with TTY, which is probably the only reason they still have pay phones.

The sign doesn't indicate any dining or refreshment facilities. Do they not exist there?

[Mr. Matté]

I liked this order of little services signs from my trip earlier this month:

At the time when the GSV car went by in 2022, the service area was being demolished and rebuilt. It has since reopened with full services.

[D-Dey65]

New question. Can anyone get any photographs of New York State Route 25D when it ran from Oakland Gardens in Queens through Lake Success and the North Hills/Roslyn area?

That particular sign wouldn't advertise that anyways; those are on the advance signs further back.

The Adirondacks are the more proper place to find icon sign salad, anyway.

According to a 1947 map found on Historic Aerials, NY 101 originally ran on Middle Neck Road at NY 25A (east of the Searingtown Road/Port Washington Boulevard intersection) in Flower Hill, and instead of ending at Astor Lane in Sands Point ran all the way up to the Beacon Towers at the tip of Sands Point on the Long Island Sound.
