# Talk:U.S. Route 33 in Michigan

On March 5, 2010, a segment of Bus. US 12 previously used by US 33 in downtown Niles was transferred back to city control. Otherwise, all of US 33 at its greatest extent from 1961 through 1987 remains part of a state highway in Michigan.
There is a section of former 33 too small to be seen on the scale of the MDOT maps, the sources for the above, that's no longer state highway: A piece of Niles Road at Scottdale, by M-63's southern terminus, which was removed from the system during a 1985-'86 construction project. A RS showing it as 31/33 can be this topo map, if USGS can be considered a RS, or, if not, someone might be able to dig up ROW or physical reference maps (not the inset on the MDOT maps, though, the intersections have been distorted on it); if more specific dates are necessary, articles are available at Newspapers.com (a starting point can be an article from April 1, 1985; [Added October 29, 2018] the "Scottdale Triangle" article from April 4, 1999 may also be of use). To get the full context see this diagram (obviously just for reference, not intended to be used in the article).
I wouldn't bring this up at all except that this section is roughly as long as the Niles section quoted. I'm not sure how this would fit into the article but it probably should be in order to be consistent; otherwise we should probably drop the paragraph entirely or at least make only passing mention ("except for reroutes..." or the like).
