Absolutely no reason to do so. Indiana doesn't do mid-sized cities for controls on interstates, one of the things it does very well. Fort Wayne is the best choice by far. Also, Muncie is roughly ten miles off the interstate, you don't even notice Muncie when you're on I-69, so there's more or a reason to not have it as a control city.

Seriously Toledo and Lima on I-469? If anything the control cities should be Lansing and Indianapolis.

Would be interested to see that map if you could find it.

There's a couple of schematics featuring a proposed Ronald Reagan Pkwy. extension in the 2022 Whitestown Comprehensive Plan. Check out pages 48 and 58.

Pretty sure I-469's purpose is to serve E-W traffic around Fort Wayne, not N-S.

I-469 does not need control cities. Maybe there could be auxiliary signs NB on I-69 posting Toledo both at Exit 296 and at Exit 315. As I stated in a prior post, Toledo should be posted at the US 24 interchange and Lima or Van Wert should be posted at the US 30 interchange.
As an aside, I believe Ft. Wayne should be posted at the US 24/I-475 interchange in Maumee, OH.
Originally, in the late 1980’s, I-469 was simply constructed as a US 24 bypass of Ft. Wayne as it ran from US 24 to I-69 southwest of Ft. Wayne. It was signed just as US 24, then had US 33 and IN 469 added a few years later.
Unfortunately, Indiana routed US 24 north on I-69 back to its original routing. What should have happened was Indiana should have upgraded Lafayette Center Road from I-69 to US 24 in Roanoke before the businesses west of I-69 sprung up. It could have been constructed the way it is currently. Then US 24 could have been routed along Lafayette Center and Indiana wouldn’t have to change the routing to around the north and west of Ft. Wayne as they did some years ago.
