Park and Ride lot w/ interpretive panels

I am of the opinion this text should be added to the article following "intersects with CTH-C":

, where a park and ride lot provides spaces for 25 vehicles and a set of interpretive panels discusses the reconstruction of the route and the culture of the area.< ref >511wi.gov Map, Wisconsin DOT and County C Park and Ride lot panel draft, STH 57 Reconstruction Project Brown, Kewaunee and Door Counties, Wisconsin WisDOT Project ID: 1480-04-00, Archaeological Research Laboratory Center, University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee< /ref ·>

This is too much detail. The number of parking spaces is irrelevant, and the presence of that signage really isn't either. Imzadi 1979 → 00:47, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Would you prefer ", where a park and ride lot features a set of interpretive panels concerning the reconstruction of the route and the culture of the area?" (There are actually two sets of panels, and they are intended to complement each other to present the full research done prior to the road construction. The other set is at Wequiock Falls. They are not just signage; if you look at the copies of the panels on the link, you will see that the culture-oriented ones are reproductions of research posters. In particular, the Paleo-Indian research broke new ground; the tools were made out of a different (& local) kind of rock than at the Cardy and Salisbury steak sites, which is suggestive of a population that was less mobile than others on the Peninsula. And a microanalysis of the adze/scraper type tools showed wear not just from game, but also wood. This is suggestive of watercraft construction, given that one of the sites (I'm not sure if it was both) were on the shore at the time due to higher lake levels. This may be (my background knowledge is limited) the most physical evidence yet for a theory proposed in 1994 that Paleo-Indians built watercraft. This work was possible because the highway was reconstructed to four lanes and archeologists brought in for the cultural surveys.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 03:21, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

This is not Wikivoyage and we are not a travel guide. Too much detail. --Rschen7754 04:08, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Additionally, not every piece of information needs to be included in a Wikipedia article just because it exists. We are not a travel guide, so we have to tread a fine line in route descriptions, so stuff like this doesn't get included. Imzadi 1979 → 05:26, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

It should be included because it is directly pertinent to the route itself. It is not travel guide material when the archeological sites in questions lie within the right of way, under the pavement itself, or affected the route's placement.

One interesting fact about a new theory following the discoveries: it is proposed that there were two different travel routes used by separate groups of Paleo-Indians in the county--one ran along the west shore, and the other ran along the east shore; in other words, they were prehistoric routes 57 & 42.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 17:48, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

This borders on WP:OR. I am sure that the rest area has a certain number of parking spaces, as well as toilets and sinks in each restroom; should we include details about those too? --Rschen7754 18:47, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

I previously said I am fine with omitting the mention of the 25 parking spaces; moreover, it is a parking lot with interpretive panels; there are no shelters or restrooms. It can't be original research because there is a reliable source for this travel hypothesis and this concept been published by two different archeologists.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 19:47, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

I was being sarcastic. --Rschen7754 23:17, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
