Hi all,
My apologies if this is posted in the wrong spot or if it's been already discussed.
There is a Business Loop US 169 now signed in Shakopee, MN. It utilizes County Highway 69 from its interchange with US 169 to County Highway 101 in downtown Shakopee and then continues on County Highway 101 back to US 169 near the Bloomington Ferry Bridge. The Business Loop is signed on US 169 itself at the County 69 and County 101 interchanges as well as reassurance markers periodically along the way (I just drove it yesterday).
Since it's so new, it doesn't show up in what I could find on MnDOT's reference points/log points online. I'm guessing it's a county-maintained route (since it follows existing county highways) instead of MnDOT maintained.

For the record, on the Goog: http://www.google.com/maps/@44.7994253,-93.5260213,3a,15.6y,299.13h,88.19t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sqJpIOTDGN5ew7i4W7v6BIw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Unless Business routes are actually part of the state highway system (i.e. 2 in EGF or 371 in Brainerd), they will not show up in MnDOT's logpoint. I knew it was requested a couple years ago from AASHTO. But given past precedent, I was waiting for signage before inclusion. As I'm still in Minnesota this weekend, I'll take a scouting trip down to have a look-see before including it.
