Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this inquiry.
There doesn't seem to be an entry at all for the Bear Mountain Parkway in New York, which runs from US 6/9/202 in Peekskill to US 202/NY 35 in Cortlandt Manor, and again from US 202/NY 35 to the Taconic State Parkway in Crompond. There is also no waypoint on US 6/9/202 for the BMP's western terminus in Peekskill, though there are waypoints on US 6 (east of Peekskill), US 202/NY 35 (in Cortlandt Manor and Crompond), and the TSP (eastern terminus).
As I have driven the entirety of this route, I am wondering if it (and the one relevant waypoint) can be added soon.

When the Select Freeways were added, several of the parkways were left out due to having at-grade intersections, or being relatively short. This looks like one of them. Since then we've had a few good (IMO) suggestions for routes to be included. But, we're saving the task of adding more Select Freeways (or breaking out a discrete "New York Parkways" set, or what-have-you) until after the 50 state systems are done. So, it could be quite a while. :(
As for including the waypoint on US 6/9/202, I'll leave that question to Jim.
(Funny-lookin' east end @TSP here. Wouldn't a NB onramp be more useful than a SB offramp? Mumble, mumble... |

| Hmmmm. Oddity here: in the list for US9 in New York, there *is* a waypoint at the west end of Bear Mountain Parkway (BearMtnPky) -- but that waypoint does not exist in the waypoint list for US6, nor in that for US202. ?!?!? |

I've also noticed that I have an entry in my .list file for clinching US 9 from the Bear Mountain Pkwy to the north split with US 6/US 202 that always registers as an error whenever the site is updated.

You have BearMtnPkwy in your .list instead of BearMtnPky |

| The Bear Mountain Parkway doesn't look like a freeway to me. Maybe in NY Parkways became their own system, but I don't see adding it to Select Freeways. |

| I'll live without Bear Mountain Pkwy in the list, but I would still like to see the waypoint added for its west end on US6 and US202, seeing as the waypoint does exist for US9 -- and 6/9/202 are all running concurrently at that point. |

Thanks for the notes on this. I'm submitting updates to US 6, US 9, and US 202, so all have the Bear Mountain Parkway western terminus point, and made all of the labels for Bear Mountain Parkway more consistent with current naming conventions. All are BearMtnPkwy, suffixed as needed.
As for adding the Bear Mountain Parkway, I stand ready to plot it and the many other similar parkways in New York if and when Tim is ready to include them. My understanding is that such new systems will wait until we have completed current work in progress on things such as missing state highway systems. |

| The US 6, US 9, and US 202 waypoint label updates here are in the HB. |
