2014 Changes


December 2014:

It's time for the final highway page update of 2014. I know they have been few and infrequent this year, but that's how it goes sometimes. Let's dig in:

Updates were made to the following highways, based on my reading of the papers (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the "Observations Along The Road" and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I also reviewed the the AAroads forum, but as usual it contained no additional information beyond what I gleaned on my own. I've given up on misc.transport.road. This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(1), contributions of information or leads (via direct mail) from Russ Berckmoes(2), Michael Carrillo(3), Patrick Chandler(4)]: I-5(1,2), Route 12(1), Route 17(1), Route 29(1), Route 33(3), Route 57(1), Route 60(1), Route 64(1), I-80(1), Route 84(1), Route 85(1), US 101(1), Route 103(1), I-110(4), Route 116(1), Route 138(1) (High Desert Corridor), I-215(1), Route 258(1), I-280(1), I-580(1), I-710/Route 710(1), I-880(1). I also added information on the origin of the County Route Marker program brought to my attention by the folks handling AAroads over of Facebook, which also updated Lassen County Sign Route A1.

Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the new California Legislature site. As usual, I recommend to every Californian that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their legis-critters are doing. Noted passage of the following items:

September 2014:

When I was in college, I used to use the Labor Day weekend to do big programming projects. This year... its updating the highway pages. Life gets busy as you get older, especially when you have other hobbies (such as theatre and theatre reviews) getting in the way.

Updates were made to the following highways, based on my reading of the papers (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the "Observations Along The Road" and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I didn't review the the AAroads forum this time — it hasn't been bringing much useful information, and a third of the year would be a lot of posts to review. I've given up on misc.transport.road. This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(1), contributions of information or leads (via direct mail) from Mike Sinclair(2)]: I-5(1), I-10(1), Route 12(1), Route 60(1), I-80(1), US 101(1), Route 103(1), I-110/Route 110(1), Route 249, Route 275(1), I-280(1,2), I-405(1), I-680(1,2), I-710(1).

May 2014:

It's been far too long since the last update. There's really no excuse, other than the lack of time and lack of urgency. Weekends have been filled with other interests and chores, making it difficult to find a day or two to sit down in front of a screen all day to do the updates. These updates were started while on vacation -- what else should I do while I sit in the hotel room while the wife sleeps in the morning? In some ways, it's a throwback to college days, where I would always do programming projects while sitting in the hotel room at the beach in Maui. But then work interfered... and so I'm finishing them over Memorial Day weekend. So let's get to it.

I started the year with the usual change page changover. I've gone back to having each year's change page having just a link to the current year and all past years. This is much easier than editing each year at the start of a new year to update the change list.

Updates were made to the following highways, based on my reading of the papers (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the "Observations Along The Road" and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I didn't review the the AAroads forum this time — it hasn't been bringing much useful information, and a third of the year would be a lot of posts to review. I've given up on misc.transport.road. This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(1), contributions of information or leads (via direct mail) from Frank Romano(2), Tom Jones(3)]: Route 1(1), I-5(1), Route 12(1), Route 29(1), Route 39(2), Route 58(1), I-80(1), Route 92(1),US-101(1), Route 118(1), Route 138(1), I-210(1), I-215(1), Route 241(1), I-405(1), I-680(1), Santa Clara County Sign Route G10(3).

Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the new California Legislature site. As usual, I recommend to every Californian that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their legis-critters are doing. Noted passage of the following items:
