SPUR as a source

[edit]

I made some revisions to the sections of this article which were based on a SPUR article from 2012. Because SPUR is an urbanist advocacy group, and as the article (essentially a recap of a SPUR-run visioning session) did not seem to meet encyclopedic standards. I did not remove all references, merely the once which seemed to be almost solely based on conjecture and SPUR's own urbanist slant.

However, I see that the edit was reverted by HaeB as a "factually reliable source." As mentioned above, because SPUR is an advocacy group, I do not believe that this is the case. There are any number of examples where SPUR has presented their opinions on a matter as the only objective fact - and this appears to be another of these cases. If SPUR were an academic organization, I could see an argument for keeping the characterization of the street and its (speculative) future in the article, but given their actual role, I do not think it is appropriate for this venue.
