Recent Changes

March 2008:

Actually, the March 2008 updates are being done in early April—the weekends in March were so busy I couldn't squeeze anything in.

This month's updates are dedicated to the memory of Gary Araki, who died in late February 2008. Gary was a long-time contributor to this site, and provided me with a late 1950s Renee atlas of Southern California that has proved very useful. Gary was involved in the site "The Bus Stops Here", and you can find a tribute to him on that site.

Processed backed up email changes, and based on my reading of the papers, some mailed in updates, and some updates from misc.transport.road, I updated information on the following routes, based on my research⁽¹⁾, and contributions of information on leads (via direct mail or Usenet) from James Bradley, Jr.⁽²⁾, Paul D. DeRocco⁽³⁾, Nathan Edgars II⁽⁴⁾, Jeff Gates⁽⁵⁾, C.A.

January 2008:

Starting on day one, I continued the process of making the updates to the chronology information based on the leads from Nathan Edgars II that I discussed in December. In addition to some minor errors caught in previous tables or routes, the following routes were updated: Route 23, Route 24, Route 25, Route 26, Route 27, Route 28, Route 29, Route 30, Route 31, Route 32, Route 33, Route 34, Route 35, Route 36, Route 37, Route 38, Route 39, I-40, Route 41, Route 42, Route 43, Route 44, Route 45, Route 46, Route 47, Route 48, Route 49, US 50, Route 51, Route 52, Route 53, Route 54, Route 55, Route 56, Route 57, Route 58, Route 59, Route 60, Route 61, Route 62, Route 63, Route 64, Route 65, Route 66, Route 67, Route 68, Route 69, Route 70, Route 71, Route 72, Route 73, Route 74, Route 75, Route 76, Route 77, Route 78, Route 79, I-80, Route 81, Route 82, Route 83, Route 84, Route 85, Route 86, Route 87, Route 88, Route 89, Route 90, Route 91, Route 92, Route 93, Route 94, US 95, Route 96, US 97, Route 98, Route 99, Route 100, US 101, Route 102, Route 103, Route 104, I-105, Route 106, Route 107, Route 108, Route 109, I-110, Route 111, Route 112, Route 113, Route 114, Route 115, Route 116, Route 117, Route 118, Route 119, Route 120, Route 121, Route 122, Route 123, Route 124, Route 125, Route 126, Route 127, Route 128, Route 129, Route 130, Route 131, Route 132, Route 133, Route 134, Route 135, Route 136, Route 137, Route 138, Route 139, Route 140, Route 141, Route 142, Route 143, Route 144, Route 145, Route 146, Route 147, Route 148, Route 149, Route 150, Route 151, Route 152, Route 153, Route 154, Route 155, Route 156, Route 157, Route 158, Route 159, Route 160, Route 161, Route 162, Route 163, Route 164, Route 165, Route 166, Route 167, Route 168, Route 169, Route 170, Route 171, Route 172, Route 173, Route 174, Route 175, Route 176, Route 177, Route 178, Route 179, Route 180, Route 181, Route 182, Route 183, Route 184, Route 185, Route 186, Route 187, Route 188, Route 189, Route 190, Route 191, Route 192, Route 193, Route 194, Route 195, Route 196, Route 197, Route 198, US 199, Route 200, Route 201, Route 202, Route 203, Route 204, I-205, Route 206, Route 207, Route 208, Route 209, I-210, Route 211, Route 212, Route 213, Route 214, I-215, Route 216, Route 217, Route 218, Route 219, Route 220, Route 221, Route 222, Route 223, Route 224, Route 225, Route 226, Route 227, Route 228, Route 229, Route 230, Route 231, Route 232, Route 233, Route 234, Route 235, Route 236, Route 237, Route 238, Route 239, Route 240, Route 241, Route 242, Route 243, Route 244, Route 245, Route 246, Route 247, Route 248, Route 249, Route 250, Route 251, Route 252, Route 253, Route 254, Route 255, Route 256, Route 257, Route 258, Route 259, Route 260, Route 261, Route 262, Route 263, LRN 264, Route 265, Route 266, Route 267, Route 268, Route 269, Route 270, Route 271, LRN 272, Route 273, Route 274, Route 275, Route 276, LRN 277, LRN 278, LRN 279, I-280, Route 281, Route 282, Route 283, Route 284, Route 285, LRN 286, LRN 287, LRN 288, LRN 289, LRN 290, LRN 291, LRN 292, LRN 294, LRN 295, LRN 296, Route 299, Route 330, I-380, US 395, I-405, Route 480, I-505, I-580, I-605, I-680, I-710, I-780, I-805, I-880, Route 905, I-980.

Note: These changes resulted in the addition of two new routes to the listing: LRN 294 and LRN 296. This will change the assignments to files for all routes above 294!

Due to the complexity and time involved in these changes, the normal monthly maintenance on the site (emailed changes, items from the news, legislative monitoring, and CHC actions) were deferred until February.

Prior Year Changes:

Note: Changes before early 1996 were not specifically noted, although this site, in various forms, dates back at least as far as 1986, when the first postings of California Highway Lists were made to ca.driving.
