 OFFICE MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 17, 1983
TO: Trunkline Numbering Committee
FROM: John J. Kanillopoolos, Supervising Engineer
Reflective Systems Unit
Traffic and Safety Division
SUBJECT: Dual and Triple Routing on State Trunklines

At our last Trunkline Numbering Committee meeting December 1982, we reviewed the list of dual and triple routing researched and prepared by the Traffic and Safety Division; a list prepared by Transportation Planning from our inventory and a Transportation Planning proposed recommendation to change some segments of five routes. Concerning your suggestions:

  1. Stop M-28 at US-41 south of Marquette and select new markers for the route from US-141 to the Wisconsin state line - M-28 is a continuous route along the northern portion of the U.P. and would be impractical to change this route number. An alternative would be to have US-41 which intersects with US-2, go west to existing US-141, then replace existing US-141 up to M-28. This would require a new route number between Rapid River and Marquette for the existing US-41.
  2. US-2 Signing from St. Ignace to Sault Ste. Marie - The District Traffic and Safety Engineer, Paul Michelin, and we concur that US-2 could terminate at St. Ignace. We recommend that the department contact AASHTO and proceed to remove US-2 along I-75.
  3. M-68 Signing ending at US-31 east of Petoskey - The District Traffic and Safety Engineer, Fred Eggan, and we concur that M-68 should end at Alanson.
  4. M-32 Signing ending at M-66 - District Traffic and Safety Engineer, Bruce Conradson, has already removed the signs along this section of M-66.
  5. US-10 - Eliminate the entire route numbering in Michigan - We concur with changing US-10 to M-10 from Ludington to Bay City, and eliminating US-10 from Bay City to Detroit. This action would require extension of US-24 (Telegraph Road) to I-75 changing US-10BR in the city of Pontiac to US-24BR, and extending M-4 (Northwestern Highway) to Cobo Hall. Although this is an expensive option, this will ulti-
