I am very familiar with the geography of the I-97 route. I also know that in the U.S. Interstate Highway numbering scheme; there are only a limited supply of primary one or two digit designations. Also primary Interstate routes radiate from west to east on north-south highways,and south to north sequence on west-east routes.

My point is this: The commissioning of I-97 is a waste of available numbers. It would have better that it was designated as either the south terminus of I-83 or the east terminus of I-70.

A second east coast Interstate is much needed, as I-95 is carrying more traffic than intended. Keep 97 in storage for such a future highway east of I-95. The number I-99 is already commissioned albeit out of numerical sequence for west to east as noted above. Rayfrid (talk) 18:16, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
