[edit] Southern terminus of route?
My map shows that NY-169 begins at the Thruway and crosses NY-5S in the northwest corner of Danube, New York, not Little Falls. Stepp-Wulf 01:21, 16 March 2007 (UTC).
- Your map may not be sufficiently detailed. Traffic leaving the Thruway via interchange 29A feeds directly onto NY 169 North, after passing over NY 5S. As NY 169 begins from NY 5S just to the west of that overpass, it bends right to meet a four-way intersection: Right is the Thruway, straight ahead is "General Herkimer Road" (dead end), and left is NY 169 north. The segment between that intersection and the Thruway toll booth may be maintained in its entirety by the Thruway Authority, as I could not note any reference route number for it. Some maps may mark that section NY 169 out of convenience, but it is an error. See this image facing southbound; the visible overpass is the segment that reaches the Thruway, and you may be able to make out the East/West NY 5S shields just under the END NY 169 sign. As for the Town of Danube being the location of the terminus: You are free to be bold and make that edit to both this article as well as the one for NY 5S.Fwgoebel 02:21, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
