July/August Updates to California Highways

The July/August updates to California Highways (“Everything You Wanted to Know About Numbered Highways in California… but were afraid to ask”) are now uploaded. I’ll note that I couldn’t do the CTC Agendas again… the July book pages were hiding behind a “403 Permission Denied” or otherwise unavailable. Hopefully kaottic97 might be able to get that resolved. There were lots of naming resolutions passed this month, plus the pages on Route 210 had some significant updates.

July and August updates were delayed due to vacation, headaches, and in general being busy. So this is a big update. As before, if you are aware of any updates to URLs referenced in this site, or if you have new sites dedicated to a regional area, please let me know.

Based on my reading of the papers, some mail in updates, and some updates from misc.transport.road, I updated information on the following routes, based on my research(1), and contributions of information on leads (via direct mail or Usenet) from Gary Araki(2), Tim Edwards(3), Bill Hoffman(4), Dominic Ielati(5), and Joe Myers(6):
Route 47(1), Route 58(3, 6), Route 74(3), Route 87(1, 2), Route 99(5, 2), Route 118(1), Route 138(1), Route 149(5), Route 180(2), Route 210(1, 3), US 80(4), US 101(1), I-5(1), I-405(1), I-605(1), I-710(1), San Diego County Route S2(4).

Attempted to review the July CTC Agendas. However, I get a “403 Permission Denied” on the directory with the book items (grrrrr….), so I’ll have to try again in September.

Lastly, last month I noted that Joel Windmiller’s site was slowly coming back. I’m pleased to report that the first piece is back… the page on C Blocks. I look forward to more.
