Talk:U.S. Route 89

message: The page for Utah State Route 89 should be merged into the U.S. Highway 89 page because that article covers the section of U.S. 89 that is in the state of Utah [[Hypernick1980 08:52, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Edits Sept 03-06: changed 'branch' to section, noted that the highway terminates at the north and south entrances of Yellowstone (according to USGS maps). Eliminated link to commercial site. Added link to Utah State Tourism site. Removed Mt Carmel Junction from the 'interesting cities section' (Mt Carmel Jct is neither a city, nor particularly interesting).Ratagonia 23:53, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I added Jackson, Wyoming as an interesting city (because it definately qualifies), but the Jackson page is woefully lacking in substance, so if you come here with a wealth of knowledge about the northern wyoming section of this route, consider going over there and giving it some love as well. - CosmicPenguin (Talk) 22:58, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

;Road Routing Of U.S. 89 Settled
SALT LAKE Utah and Idaho road commissions have won a controversy with the Wyoming commission over the routing of U. S. 89, and the amcus[?] highway will be routed by way of Provo, Salt Lake City, Ogden, Brigham City, Logan, Garden City, Montpelier, Star Valley, Wyo., and the Grand Canyon of the Snake river to Yellowstone park. W. D. Hammond, chairman of the Utah commission, said executive committee of the American Association of State Highway officials had decided in favor of the Utah-Idaho recommendation.
Wyoming had advocated a routing from Provo through Heber, Coalville, Evanston, Kemmerer and Big Piney to Yellowstone, but the committee designated this as U. S. 189.
Hammond said the Utah commission was considering routing U. S. 89 from Brigham City to Logan by way of the new all-weather entrance to Cache Valley via Dewey and Collision. U. S. 91 will continue to go through Sardine Canyon and into Cache valley by way of Wellsville.
A 1937 map shows both routings; either the states "jumped the gun" on signage or Rand McNally did. --NE2 21:34, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: A bit of history

message: If you click this map, you'll see Google Maps lists 89 stopping at Wickenberg (Phoenix.)  The article lists is as ending in Flagstaff.  89 doesn't actually pass at all through Flagstaff--that's it's growth 89A.  89 goes on the other side of the canyon and drops down west of Flagstaff, into Prescott, and west of Phoenix.  (Although calling where it drops "Flagstaff" is about as reasonable as my calling Wickenberg "Phoenix.")
