Image for New York State Route 308

This would be a much better image

As flattered as I am that another picture I've taken has been chosen to illustrate a Main Page featured article, I question how relevant it really is.

The Kingston–Rhinecliff Bridge, pictured, carries New York State Route 199, and only that highway, across the Hudson. It has never carried NY 308; its relevance to the article is tangential at best (the bridge's completion resulted in the highway being truncated to its current western terminus at US 9 in Rhinebeck from the former ferry landing in Rhinecliff.

For a replacement image, I suggest the one I posted here. Frankly, the article's illustrations need to be rethought. We have three pictures of sections of the road in Rhinebeck near US 9 and none of the portions west of the village to the town line where it ends at NY 199 at Rock City. I can (and should) put that in the article, and in fact since I (at the moment) get up to that vicinity there on a weekly basis I could easily take another (possibly better) picture, much like I did this past summer for New York State Route 22 before its FA turn.

Hi Daniel, good to hear from you. Could we have this discussion at the article talk page, or Juliancolton's talk page, or the TFA's talk page, please? I don't want to draw attention to housekeeping pages. - Dank (push to talk) 22:59, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
