Sincerely,
Omer M. Osman, P.E. Acting Secretary Enclosure
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
An Application from the State Highway or Transportation Department of Illinois for:
Elimination of a U.S. (Interstate) Route AASHTO Use Only
Establishment of a U.S. (Interstate) Route Action taken by SCOH: Extension of a U.S. (Interstate)Route Relocation of a U.S. (Interstate) Route Business 55 Establishment of a U.S. Alternate Route Establishment of a Temporary U.S. Route **Recognition of a Business Route on U.S. (Interstate)
Route
**Recognition of a By-Pass Route on U.S. Route
Between Intersection of 5th St. & Spruce St. / 6th St. & Myrtle St. (Springfield) and
Intersection of 9th St. & Cook St. / 9th St. & Lawrence Ave. (Springfield)
The following states or states are involved: Illinois
• **“Recognition of…”A local vicinity map needed on page 3. On page 6 a short statement to the effect
that there are no deficiencies on proposed routing, if true, will suffice. • If there are deficiencies, they should be indicated in accordance with page 5 instructions. • All applications requesting Interstate establishment or changes are subject to concurrence and
approval by the FHWA
DATE SUBMITTED: April 23, 2019 SUBMIT APPLICATION ELECTRONICALLY TO [email protected]
• *Bike Routes: this form is not applicable for US Bicycle Route System

The purpose of the United States (U.S.) Numbered Highway System is to facilitate travel on the main interstate highways, over the shortest routes and the best available roads. A route should form continuity of available facilities through two or more states that accommodate the most important and heaviest motor traffic flow in the area. The routes comprising the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways will be marked with its own distinctive route marker shield and will have a numbering system that is separate and apart from the U.S. Numbered Highway System. For the convenience of the motorist, there must be continuity and a uniform pattern of marking and numbering these Interstate routes without regard to state lines. The U.S. Numbered System was established in 1926 and the Interstate Numbered System was established in 1956. Both have reached the period of review, revision, and consolidation. They now need perfecting rather than expansion. Therefore, any proposed alteration in the established systems should be extremely meritorious and thoroughly, though concisely, explained in order that the Special Committee on U.S. Route Numbering and the Standing Committee on Highways of the Association may give prompt and proper consideration to each and every request made by a member department. Explanation and Reasons for the Request: (Keep concise and pertinent.) The proposed relocation is necessitated by the City of Springfield’s Rail Improvement Project which includes the construction of a railroad underpass near the current Business Route 55 designation (9th St. and Laurel St.). This proposed underpass will require ending the 9th St. pavement that currently carries the Business Route 55 designation. This proposed relocation also places more of the business route within the downtown Springfield business district. Please note the relocated route marking will be placed on streets under the jurisdiction of the City of Springfield. Date facility available to traffic Currently open Does the petition propose a new routing over a portion of an existing U.S. Route? No If so, where? Does the petition propose a new routing over a portion of an existing Interstate Route? No If so, where?

Map of state, or portion thereof, indicating proposed addition or change in the U.S. Numbered or Interstate Numbered System:
Send your PDF color map to [email protected] or [email protected] with this application. (Indicate termini and control points on the map for the route, and number them in sequence. Use the same numbers in column 1 tabulation, page 6, when listing mileage. Towns, cities, major highway intersections and state lines to be used as control points. The top of column 1, page 6, will be one terminus, and column 1 will give the log of the route as needed to describe the route in the Association publication U.S. Numbered Highways if the application is approved by the Standing Committee on Highways.)

The State agrees and pledges its good faith that it will not erect, remove, or change any U.S. or Interstate Route Markers on any road without the authorization, consent, or approval of the Standing Committee on Highways of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, not withstanding the fact that the changes proposed are
entirely within this State. The weighted average daily traffic volume along the proposed route, as shown on the map on page 3, is 10,300 as compared to 8,605 for the year 2009 for all other U.S. Numbered Routes in the State. The Purpose and Policy in the Establishment and Development of the United States Numbered Highways, as Retained from October 3, 1991 or the Purpose and Policy in the Establishment of a Marking System of the Routes Comprising the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways as Retained from August 10, 1973 has been read and is accepted. In our opinion, this petition complies with the above applicable policy.

Chief Executive Officer (Member Department)
This petition is authorized by official action of under date of as follows: (Copy excerpt from minutes.) A letter from your Chief Executive Officer with the CEO’s signature is sufficient when submitting your application, if you choose not to include the signature on this form.
