Based on the Largest Cities without a US route thread, but slightly different: these are cities which once had several US routes, but now are down to just a couple (or none).
Examples include:
Phoenix: used to have 60, 70, 80, 89. Now it only has 60.
Salt Lake City: used to have 40, 50, 89, 91. Now it only has 89.
LA: used to have 6, 60, 66, 70, 91, 99, 101. Now only 101.
Minneapolis proper - 8, 12, 52, 65, 169, 212 - Now only 12 and 52, with 12 barely signed and 52 not at all.
It should be noted that 8, 169, and 212 still exist in the Twin Cities metro area, just not in Minneapolis itself.
Detroit just has US 12 running into downtown and US 24 out on far flung Telegraph Road today. The city had US 10, 112, 16, and 25 in the past.
Las Vegas still has US 93 and 95 but had 91 in addition to 466 in the past.
Tucson used to have US 80 and 89 but nothing anymore.
Lansing had US 16 and US 27 for a very long time but is left with just US 127.
Bakersfield had US 99, 399, and 466 at one point.

I think you left one out for LA: US 66

Also US 6 for LA, and didn't US 93 once go through Phoenix?
Council Bluffs, Iowa had, in the past, US 6, 30, 32, 34, 75, and 275. Now it is just US 6 and 275.

US 91 never actually entered Los Angeles; it came into the L.A. basin via Santa Ana Canyon and Orange County, ending up in Long Beach (although technically L.A. metro). US 93 never entered Phoenix; it ended at Kingman for several years, with AZ 93 as an extension;
that route indeed extended through Phoenix; prior to the construction of I-10 it multiplexed with several routes via Casa Grande, and with AZ 84 between Casa Grande and Tucson before multiplexing with US 89 south to Nogales (AZ had a lot of multiplexes back in the day; the MSR 789 also multiplexed with both US 89 and AZ 93 between Nogales and Tucson in the '50's).
San Diego had 101, 395 and 80, now has none. Largest U.S. city without a U.S. route I think.

AZ 93, Arizona never could get the extension approved.
NYC now just has US 1 and US 9. It once had US 7 as well. Also, US 1 and US 9 were once routed differently such that they ran much longer distances within the city limits.
St Louis City used to have US 66, and US 40. And now has US 40, the metropolitan area on the other hand house US 61, US 67, and US 50.
San Francisco it used to have US-40 and US-50
Sacramento used to have US-99 and US-40
Los Angeles used to have US-60, US-70, US-91, US-99, US-66 and US-6
Philly lost US 309, 422 & 611; 309 & 611 became state routes decades ago & 422 was rerouted onto its current Pottstown Expressway location and ends at US 202 (& I-76) in King of Prussia.

It should be noted that 8, 169, and 212 still exist in the Twin Cities metro area, just not in Minneapolis itself.
US 10 also ran through Minneapolis prior to ~1934, when it was moved from C.R. 3 to C.R. 62.
There was also US 55 before it was replaced (in Minneapolis) by US 65, also around 1934.
Tucson once had US 80 and US 89, but now does not have any US routes.
Rochester used to have US 15 and US 104. Now it doesn't have any US routes.
Seattle had US 10 and US 99, which intersected south of downtown; both are now gone. The closest US highways, reached north and south via I-5, are US 2 (Everett) and US 12 (Centralia/Chehalis). Even US 410, which accessed the metro area near Tacoma, is long gone (replaced by US 12, which was rerouted to the south well outside the metro area; all that took place in the mid-to-late 60's).
Philadelphia has seen a 40% cut in US routes. US 1 US 13 and US 30 are still there, but US 309 and US 611 are gone.
Baltimore: U.S. 111 is now MD-45, U.S. 140 is now MD-140, U.S. 301 got re-routed onto the Eastern Shore.

Los Angeles used to have US-60, US-70, US-91, US-99, US-66 and US-6
Actually, Sacramento used to have US 99, US 99-W; US 99-E; US 40, and if you want to stretch it a bit to perimeter of the Sacramento area, Alternate US 40 as well.
Toledo used to have US-223 (truncated to its exit from US-23; the rest became State Route 51), and US-25 (converted to a State Route with the same number). Remaining are 20 and 24; not sure about 23, as Google Maps suggests that the highway itself makes up part of the western city limits.
Hmm, all the US routes there, past and present start with a 2.
