 |
|
Took a trip through Minnesota...found that MN295 and MN333 are no longer signed in St. Peter. (They were as of 2008 GMSV pics.) Also, confirmed that MN801 and MN860 were also not signed (having traveled them before, not remembering if in fact they were signed).
I took a gander at Minnesota's trunk highway logpoint database and saw that both MN295 and MN333 were no longer in the database. MN801 and MN860 are suffixed in the database, leading me to believe that they may be internal numberings never intended to be signed. There were also 5 other routes currently in the HB that are not in the database as well (MN290, 293, 297, 323, 332).
I will confess that the information I'm gleaning from MN's database is more speculative on my part, as I'm unfamiliar with it and some of it is a bit too esoteric for me to read well. I figured I'd put the info out there anyway, let you guys figure it out.

The status of 295 and 333 needs to be reviewed further. They were supposed to have been dropped from the system in 2008, but that never happened.
When the routeset was first created, a decision was made to include MN 801 and MN 860. MN 801 in particular is a major arterial.

| Yes, we let in a few unsigned routes in the first few state highway systems. But the current decision is to remove unsigned state routes. If there are still some in the MN state highways, they should be removed now. |

MN 801 and 860 are not signed, so these will be deleted here.
290, 293, 294, 295, 297 appear to have been decommissioned, so they will be deleted here.
323 and 332 are absent in the logpoint database, but show up in the latest DOT maps, dated 2011. While these routes are probably decommissioned, I'll wait for some indication of whether the signs have been removed. |

| I took a little drive today and found that neither MN 309, nor MN 361 are signed. |

MN 309 is still in the official route log, but its number hasn't been posted.
MD 361 was dropped from the official route log.
Both deleted in the next update. Thanks. |

The former eastern leg of MN 332 was removed by the 2010 legislature. The southern leg (from US 53 to US 71) is still active...not sure why MnDOT took it out of their Logpoint but it's still an active route.
