It's not a proposed designation... I think.[edit]

Here's my source of I-169. I-57 also got designated, too. https://www.congress.gov/115/bills/hr244/BILLS-115hr244enr.pdf EBGamingWiki (talk) 23:52, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You have linked to a copy of the bill, but was this bill passed by Congress and signed by the President? 331dot (talk) 00:09, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. EBGamingWiki (talk) 12:54, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it is an Interstate yet. The law referenced by EBGamingWiki designates the corridor as a Interstate but according to ISTEA Section 1105(e)(5)(A), the highway must still must meet the design criteria of 23 USC 109 and connect to another Interstate (it meets the latter but I doubt that it meets the former). Sec. 1105 is relevant here because the new law referenced above amends Sec. 1105 of ISTEA. 700jn (talk)

Proposed merge with Pennyrile Parkway[edit]

If this parkway has now been designated as an Interstate, there should only be one page about it, under the Interstate designation. 331dot (talk) 00:10, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to do the merge, but I realized it would be alot of work. I do however think its strange it's not "Future Interstate 169", then & then, the parkway is built to Interstate standards.

And what I do like is getting rid of the parkway system in KY. I think its confusing to have 5 types of highways in your state. EBGamingWiki (talk) 00:17, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@EBGamingWiki: So this bill was signed into law by President Trump? 331dot (talk) 00:21, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He signed a bill, so yes, along with I-57! EBGamingWiki (talk) 00:21, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To add onto that, now I gotta edit I-57. *sigh* EBGamingWiki (talk) 00:22, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK, is there something indicating that the bill was signed(a statement from the White House, maybe) 331dot (talk) 00:35, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's a long way down the page... Page 66x (the x being 0 to 9) EBGamingWiki (talk) 12:55, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose—you can't merge one page (Pennyrile Parkway) to two targets (I-69, I-169). Also, has the KYTC actually completely stopped using the name? If not, then we should not be marking the designated as decommissioned. An Interstate can have an overlapping name. Imzadi 1979 → 18:53, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose-- I have three reasons this article should not be merged. One: There are TWO interstate highways on the original Pennyrile Parkway, plus some of US 41 in Henderson County. Two: I think the article ought to be preserved for historical purposes, and three: the parkway could still exist, but as a secondary name. K-Johnson 127 (talk) 14:46, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I believe there is work that needs to be done to the portion of the Pennyrile that is future I-169 before it can be officially signed as an Interstate.Froo (talk) 16:04, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - The Pennyrile Parkway encompasses more than just I-169. It also includes sections of highway now designated as I-69 and US-41. Furthermore, it's premature to call the Pennyrile Parkway a "former" designation simply because it has been designated in law, because driving down the Parkway today you'll still see Pennyrile Parkway signs and not I-169 signs. Before the remaining section of the Pennyrile can receive I-169 signage (which it hasn't yet), a couple of interchanges must be brought up to interstate standards.132.3.53.79 (talk) 19:38, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - The Pennyrile Parkway is longer than I-169, and parts of the Parkway is I-69 too. Merging it into the one page creates controversy that the length is rather 71 miles, not 34. The I-69 portion is larger, so merging it is pretty much unbalanced. ActivBowser9177 (talk) 15:32, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unsigned?[edit]

I look on Google Streetview, and it seems like I-169 is unsigned and is currently just signed as Pennyrile Parkway. Is there anywhere that has I-169 signed? NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 06:21, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
