Why is "Virginia" in the article name? Are there any other George Washington Memorial Parkways elsewhere? If not, then why not follow the convention of other parkway article titles, and leave off the location?
I propose a move to the current redirect: George Washington Memorial Parkway

I've driven the northern section of the road and you cannot see the USMC War Memorial from the road. Yet there is a picture on the article page of the USMC War Memorial. It is close, but you need to cross over to US110 at the Arlington Cemetary/Memorial Bridge exit to get there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.16.237.230 (talk) 18:34, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
The article currently does not use ((infobox road)) and has a NRHP infobox instead. Can infobox road be used for the important information about the road, as called for by WP:USRD, and the NRHP infobox be more used for dates and information concering that facet of the road? ---Dough4872 04:47, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

There was a claim (tagged with a "citation needed") claiming that "A majority of the park along the Alexandria shore line is also leased land." That seems untrue. The NRHP Registration Form for the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway (1981, Item 7, pp. 1-2) states "North of First Street the highway returns to the full jurisdiction of the United States..." To my mind, this makes the ownership clear: All shoeeline parkland in Alexandria claimed by the GWMP is federally owned, not leased. One might ask whether Daingerfield Island (formerly Pearson's Island, and no longer an island for that matter) is federally owned, or just federally administered. The Potomac Yard/Potomac Greens Small Area Plan - City of Alexandria, City of Alexandria, 1992, p. 1 (as amended through 10/16/1999) clearly states that Daingerfield Island is federally owned. Since Daingerfield Island is the only conceivable "Alexandria shore line" which the GWMP passes by or through, it seems clear that this is all federally owned land and not merely leased. I removed the uncited claim on this basis. - Tim1965 (talk) 22:56, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
