Summary

American Association of State Highway Officials U.S. Route Numbering Committee Agenda (1959)

Establishment of
an Alternate Route This routing would begin at the intersection of present U. S. Route 6 and State Route 90 east of Dexter, thence north over State Route 90 via Redfleld, Adel and Waukea to an intersection with present U. S. Route 6 and Interstate Route 35, four (4) miles west of Des Moines. REJECTED—Violates the concept of the U. S. Numbered System, by which the best and shortest route available is marked for the convenience of the traveling public and there is no indication an "Alternate Route" is needed to avoid overloading the major route.

APPROVED—After a study of the information supplied by the other States that would be affected by any subsequent proposed extension beyond Missoula when construction standards and traffic needs might qualify for inclusion in the U. S. Numbered System, the rerouting of U. S. Route 12 from Forsyth to Missoula instead of into Yellowstone Park was approved.
