🛣 Headlines About California Highways – December 2019

Ah, the end of the teens. The 21st century is moving into the 20s. What a decade it has been.

As befits the winter months, things have been a bit quieter. But still there are headlines. I've also been working on the highway pages (although not all uploaded yet) to add pictures to all the naming resolutions, with the goal of putting faces with the names. If we're going to go to the trouble of naming a highway after someone, we should know who that person is or was, and be able to look at their face and seem them as more than just a name we pass by at 60mph. These were people that contributed to society and were important to their family. Remembering is important.

In any case, here are the headlines about California Highways for December. Ready, set, discuss.

I was surprised to see the article about CA 63 in downtown Visalia as even an open discussion point.  63 carries way too much traffic as main through highway for it really even be realistic consider for Visalia to petition for relinquishment.  There isn't even a viable alternative to pursue a bypass route, at least one city still wants surface State Highways.
