[edit] Control Cities

CalTrans delegates the list of control cities to each of its districts (see this link). I was unable to find any list of California Control Cities for US 101 on the web. The control cities section should be deleted.Richard Hendricks (talk) 21:42, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unfinished 680SB - 101SB overpass

Does anybody have any photos of when the overpass was incomplete? I grew up in the area, and I remember for a long time in the mid-70s the overpass from (I think) 680SB to 101SB remained uncompleted, and looked like a giant Stonehenge. Torc 07:23, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mergefrom U.S. Route 101#California suggestion

See the discussion/proposal at Talk:U.S. Route 101#California section. Thanks. --Rkitko 20:40, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article name

Shouldn't this article be located at "U.S. Route 101 in California" per WP:USH? --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 20:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

• Yeah, it should. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 20:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redwood Highway is incorrectly treated as the exact same entity as US 101 in California

The Redwood Highway begins North of San Francisco after the Golden Gate and ends at the Oregon Border. The disambiguation that redirects the Redwood Highway to US 100 in California needs to be eliminated and a separate article or some other method of designation must occur for the sake of accuracy.

[edit] Central Freeway

I believe that this should be merged into this article. NE2 disagrees, saying it's notable enough for its own article. Thoughts from others? —Scott5114↗ 14:04, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

• As long as there is enough sufficient information talking about the road (specifically history), the thing should stay. Look at Interstate 95 in New York and all of its sub-articles. Give it a chance. Someone will write about it.^Mitch32^contribs 14:14, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
• [1][2][3] --NE2 21:30, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

The reason I believe it should be merged is because the Central Freeway is part of US 101, and is a stub, and thus would work better being merged here. (Edit the redirect to point to #Central Freeway to tidy everything up.) —Scott5114↗ 22:17, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

• It's pointless to merge just because of the current state of the article; it will not always be a stub. I also believe the torn down (decommissioned, in its actual meaning) part was never US 101. --NE2 00:39, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
  • And I believe the exact opposite; who's to say it won't always be a stub? I say merge it for now, let it develop in the US 101 article, then split it back out when it's actually a decent article, if/when that time comes. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 05:23, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
    • The controversy and sources say it won't be a stub. --NE2 05:50, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
      • You keep commenting on what could be, when I've already admitted that my thought process doesn't work that way... --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 06:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
        • Maybe you should think that way; there's no point in merging just to undo the merge in the future. I may see what I can do with the article, though I'm doing some NYC work right now. --NE2 06:10, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
          • And I think there is a point to it. I will never comment on a merge based on what can be written, if for no other reason than the fact that I don't have the time or the desire to research every random article that pops up. The only way that I can comment on a merge is by going on what I see, and editors making claims as to why the merge shouldn't be done yet making no improvements to the article to distinguish it from its proposed merge target aren't really helping. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 06:28, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Do you believe me now? --NE2 01:59, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
• I believe it should stay separate if for the simple fact that not all of the Central Freeway is signed as US 101. The section from 101 to Octavia is not signed as any numbered freeway. Gateman1997 00:51, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Do you know who maintains this part? The infobox currently states that the city does, but I doubt that. --NE2 01:59, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
    • I'm assuming the state since they paid for the entire rebuild to Octavia. Gateman1997 02:00, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merges

The Hollywood Freeway and Ventura Freeway include portions that are not US 101, and should not be merged. The Hollywood Freeway especially has a long history, including the Cahuenga Parkway, the second freeway in California. --NE2 01:08, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

The Santa Ana Freeway should not be merged either. --Son (talk) 23:14, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] US 101 Ends at Interstate 5, US 60 AND Interstate 10.

Not sure where folks get the idea that I10 is not at the terminus, but it most definitely is...along with the others. Check your best maps (ie Google Maps). Norcalal 08:06, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Check more carefully; there's no access between US 101 and I-10. --NE2 20:50, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

You can get from US 101 Southbound to I-10 East. You can't get to I-10 West from US 101. The exit for California route 60 is prior to the US 101/I-5 merge. Richard Hendricks (talk) 00:05, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

You can get from US 101 south to I-10 east (and I-10 west to US 101 north), but that's 1.33 miles north of the south end of US 101. --NE2 08:31, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
