Future work

I-270 is currently in design for provision of an interchange at Watkins Mill Road (extended) as well as provision for ETL between I-370 to north of I-70. The timeline is still very much longterm: likely a 1-2 decades. I will add any publicly-available information as it is received. --Thisisbossi 20:00, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Map

When someone makes a map for this interstate, it'll need to show I-470/270 Spur/270Y. Its location isn't really described in the article. —Scott5114 ↗ 19:02, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm familiar with the 270Y designation, but am not aware of an I470 designation which also does not appear in the location reference manual. Might you be able to provide a source of this designation? Thanks! --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 00:39, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of I270Y into main article

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was merge. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 08:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To keep it simple: I believe that such a stub should remain within its parent article until such a time when it acquires enough information to stand as a decent Start-class article or preferably a B-class article. --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 00:39, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it should be merged. Dough4872 02:29, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, even though I started the article.--RockRNC 21:50, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree too, it's too short and straight forward for it to be on its own. TechMath 02:52, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Should there be a section in this article referring to this technology business district, or should it be a separate article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.59.174.212 (talk) 15:27, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
