Saw some recent edits about the decommissioning of the Capitol Loop. But I didn't see any citations. What is the source for this information?-- Criticalthinker ( talk) 15:06, 25 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Criticalthinker: Capitol Loop#cite note-MOU-3 is the source, the memorandum of understanding transferring jurisdiction of the highway from the Michigan Department of Transportation to the City of Lansing, effective immediately on the second signature on March 26, 2024. Once MDOT gave it away, it ceased to be a state trunkline effective immediately, and upon losing that status, the designation was decommissioned. https://www.michiganhighways.org/listings/MichHwysBus96-496.html#CapitolLoop also notes the decommissioning as of March 26, 2024, if you'd like an online source.

Thanks! I'm kind of shocked as I heard nothing about it. In fact, with the whole discussion over the MLK Blvd reconfiguration, there was talk that MDOT was actually going to get more ROW extending a bit onto West Michigan Avenue. It's also interesting, because the city never talked about this transfer in all the talk of the two-way conversion, which seems like an important detail. A lot of communities are trying to claw back jurisdiction from MDOT. Criticalthinker ( talk) 15:52, 26 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Oh, I forgot to ask. I've been trying to find out the change of the northern terminus of US-127 in Lansing for some time, but have never been able to find a definitive answer, and MichiganHighways.org is the source of the confusion. The site mentions that it was first at Kalamazoo and what would eventually become Larch before it was rerouted over a reconfigured Cedar at Kalamazoo (1930). But by 1950, the entry on the website mentions that US-127 and a rerouted US-27 now "runs concurrently with its own parent route (US-27) for even longer than it had in the past—1½ miles." This would seem to imply that US-127's northern terminus was extended northward sometime before then. Can you find anything on when US-127 was extended northward to run concurrently run with US-127?
