Assessment

Although this route existed way back when and I'm sure the history is hard to expand, it still should be more than one sentence before it's at B-class. C L — 01:21, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't any more to add though. It was assigned with the rest of the system in 1919, but decommissioned in 1926 to be replaced by US 2. Imzadi1979 (talk) 20:30, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why was it built? Did anything unusual happen? Was there any controversy during its construction? (i.e. Did Henry Ford play a role?)

In other words, regardless of how simplistic a route's history might appear to be, one or two sentences is not enough for a complete history section. Just like even if a route is only half a mile (or even a couple of blocks) long, one or two sentences is not enough for a complete route description. I think it's articles like these that are exactly why we started using C-class – they have the big three sections, but they're not really B-class. -- Kéiryn (talk) 03:08, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
