[edit] Rename?

I am curious what people think about moving this page to Veterans' Glass City Skyway as this is the official name. I know the standard is to name the article the most common name, but I am curious whether Maumee River Crossing is still the most common name. I am not sure when the official name appeared, but it seems that it is becoming the name more often used. Toledo residents (Toledoans? Toledoites?) would probably know what people there call it.

As a Toledoan, I am not sure either. The bridge has no locally accepted name. Many people call it the Maumee River Crossing, Veterans' Glass City Skyway, or even "the skyway" and "the bridge" However, I think the page should be moved to Veterans' Glass City Skyway, with a redirect on the Maumee River Crossing page. My reasons are as follows:

• Veterans' Glass City Skyway is the official name
• Maumee River Crossing is not an up-to-date name for the project
• Veterans' Glass City Skyway will logically become the most common name when used on signs, opening day activites, and other propoganda

I hope this helps, and I invite other Toledoans to join in and leave their imput. --wpktsfs 19:25, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
