List

[edit]

There are a lot of these highways out there in existence. Shall we make a list or category for these highways? I'm going to create a list right now on this talk page, starting with California:

California

California State Route 62

[edit]

UPDATE: just added 2004, news on putting one last year, here's the link: http://www.usmc.mil/marinelink/mcn2000.nsf/0/6263B323F0BAD61885256FF200799AC5?opendocument

forgot to sign - --Geopgeop 04:32, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ehh... never mind, it's up top already --Geopgeop 04:35, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]


I've waited long enough, I'll create the category. --Geopgeop 09:00, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Florida

[edit]

The Florida Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc. page [1] shows some U.S. Routes that are Blue Star Memorial Highways:

--Geopgeop 09:55, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One on U.S. Route 19, exists in Crystal River, but I always thought they were used strictly along one specific route, and mainly on the East Coast. ----DanTD 15:06, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New Jersey

[edit]

Here's the link where New Jersey routes are known: [2]

Here are the routes:

Illinois

[edit]

To re-align route 176, we removed a Blue Star sign mid-1972 from the southern intersection infield of routes 47 and 176 east of Marengo. As far as I know it was never relocated. --Robertkeller 18:39, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Virginia

[edit]

The frontage road along southbound Interstate 95 in Virginia is named "Blue Star Memorial Highway" in Southern Virginia. I used to think that was strictly for I-95 itself. ----DanTD 15:08, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tennessee

[edit]

Blue Star Memorial Highways in Tennessee are listed in the Tennessee Code, Title 54, Chapter 5, Part 10, Section 54-5-1001. Mapsax (talk) 23:47, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Direct link. --Pmsyyz (talk) 01:51, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We need to source and expand the body of this article

[edit]

Currently, the only sources are on the list of highways. However, the body of this article is small and unsourced. The North Carolina link looks like it might be a place to go for information for the body of the article. The list, I believe, is a distraction, and the article might do well to dispense with it.

I took some of the southbound North Carolina Welcome Center last year, but more recently I got some at US 6 in front of Brewster (Metro-North station). ---------User:DanTD (talk) 02:10, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maine

[edit]

I know there are markers off I-95, but I'm not sure which routes are designated. http://www.kennebecvalleygardenclub.org/blue-star-highway-markers/ states that Route 1 is, but I know of a sign on Wilson St. in Brewer (1A, maybe?). http://barharborgardenclub.com/?p=6068 lists a marker on Rte. 3. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:16, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Split discussion

[edit]

If you remove the current List section, there's not much here. There are available sources to expand this article but should the list be split from here?

Some available sourcing: [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

It looks like grabbing the relevant state's DOT page at least gives understanding how it's adopted through the state's Legislature. My focus on the sourcing is more about the program summarized for each state versus trying to maintain some kind of running list. – The Grid (talk) 15:26, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
