Besides Phoenix, I was wondering what the largest US city (I am talking city limits proper, not metro) without a 3DI running through it. My guess is Boston, but I am not 100% sure.

And referring to population within the city limits, not area, I presume?
Also, are you including cities with no 2di's either? So, no Fresno? (Which I think is a bit smaller than Boston anyway.)
Also also, what if there is a 3di in the metro but it doesn't enter city limits?
All that said and done, Austin.

A few I was able to come up with quickly:
Austin TX
Albuquerque NM
Winston-Salem NC
Durham NC
Some smaller cities:
Lexington KY - has sort of an outer belt ((not so) New Circle Rd / KY 4)
Charleston WV - state capital with 3 - 2DI, but no 3DI
In Dayton OH, I-675 never goes through the city limits
Does I-485 ever enter the Charlotte NC city limits?
I can think of a few examples:
Montgomery, AL (at least until I-685 is signed)
Tucson, AZ
Bakersfield, CA
Sacramento, CA (I-305 does not count)
Colorado Springs, CO
Pueblo, CO
Bridgeport, CT
Orlando, FL
Tallahassee, FL
Rockford, IL
Springfield, IL
Elkhart, IN
South Bend, IN
Rochester, MN
Joplin, MO
Billings, MT
Las Cruces, NM
Binghamton, NY
Fargo, ND
Grand Forks, ND
Canton, OH
Erie, PA
Amarillo, TX
Laredo, TX
Lubbock, TX
Montpelier, VT
Petersburg, VA
Spokane, WA
Madison, WI
So...Austin?

Anyway, Charlotte is smaller than Austin. :)

That's way smaller than Austin.

The largest municipality in Illinois that would qualify is Aurora, which is also the second largest in the state (199,000).

How does that qualify? The largest city with no 3dis, besides Phoenix, is Austin. There's no ambiguity that I can see. Did I miss something; are we going state-by-state now or something?

Of course - but it's bigger than several of those on Henry's list.
I don't think anyone has yet mentioned New Haven, CT.

We always end up going on a state-by-state level because it prolongs the discussion. Otherwise this thread would have been over at post 2 or 3.

OK, I can see that, though I missed the transition this time. What I was not understanding are the long lists of entries for a question with only one answer–and one that had already been given. I'm always happy to prolong the discussion, but I don't even know what we're talking about any more! :pan:
