Mount Hood needs correction

edit

The link for Mount Hood should go here: Mount Hood, not here: Mount Hood, Oregon. I no longer fix exit tables, so can a roads project member please verify by clicking the above links that it is more likely someone on 205 would want to go to the mountain and not the town and fix the link? Thanks. Katr67 (talk) 03:16, 25 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Man, I can see why you wouldn't want to fix that. These specialized inflexible templates become pretty unwikilike in their complexity sometimes, don't they? I moved it into the "notes" field, which may not be ideal, but is probably an improvement. -Pete (talk) 03:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Oregon State Route 205

edit

Oregon State Route 205 redirects here, and I'm not sure why. There really is a SR 205 that's not the Interstate. It's the continution of NV 272 north of Denio.

Google is wrong. See this street view image of a County Highway shield. This is not OR 205. --AdmrBoltz 21:06, 20 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Okay but there IS an OR 205 (there's a wiki page for that) and it doesn't redirect to that one, it redirects to the Interstate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.227.153.252 (talk) 02:42, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Besides the Google Map, do you have a reliable source that shows there is an Oregon State Route 205 that is not Interstate 205? --AdmrBoltz 02:47, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Yes, the wikipedia page, like I just mentioned, dumbass. http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Oregon_Route_205 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.227.153.252 (talk) 08:32, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Do not call me names, but I have redirected Oregon State Route 205 to the article you linked. --AdmrBoltz 16:16, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Do not tell me what to do, you shitbag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.227.153.252 (talk) 20:15, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Further West?

edit

The page for Lents,_Portland,_Oregon claims that 205 was originally meant to run through the Laurelhurst and Hawthorne neighborhoods, but was diverted further east where the residents were less influential. Do the highway project people have any info on the original plan? Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 16:48, 6 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Years Each Exit Opened

edit

Is there any information out there as to exactly what years each and every exit for I-205 had opened in both Oregon and Washington, so as to be added to the existing table?

For example, as initial construction of I-205 began southbound from Tualatin in 1968, with the Willamette River bridge portion having opened to traffic May 28, 1970, it may be logical to assume that many of the exits between Tualatin and Foster Road had opened sometime between then and 1974.[1]

@WikiPro1981X: You can get by with entries from the National Bridge Inventory, which has every overpass. You should not add this information to the exit list table (which should comply with MOS:RJL), but instead write out (with references such as newspaper articles and maps) when each segment opened.
