Signage is now gone @ the former intersection with FM-524. https://maps.app.goo.gl/qDjXMtpRa5sm5Cj39 However, the JCT sign was still up on the old route of FM-524.
However, still up @ TX-35.
Interesting case, a little confusing.
In my
texas2022 QGIS project, I have a revision of
Highway_Designations.shp dated 2021-08-03. Therein:
OBJECTID
406: SL0419 "Redesignated as SS0419",
minute order 113600, approved 05/30/2013.
OBJECTID
966: "SL0419 Redesignated as State Spur 419", minute order 113600, approved 05/30/2013.
The former ends @ CR 374, consistent with the HB (for now) and the minute order.
The latter ends @ Old FM 524, exactly where rickmastfan67 proposes truncating the route.
What else?
OBJECTID
405: SL0419 "Removal from state highway system", minute order 113600, approved 05/30/2013.
Inconsistent with the minute order, this shows everything W of Old FM 524 deleted.
Combined with #966, this could form another argument for truncating TXSpr419, even though the moving of the gate pretty much clinches it anyway.
What deletion?
None of this stuff in the shapefiles mentions deleting SS 419. I see nothing in a minute order search either. What would make me think that?
Mumble grumble. First shows up in this thread
here, linking
here.
Back then, I was rocking the 2019-03-26 revision of the files in QGIS.
OBJECTID
967 (the OBJECTIDs / record numbers can sometimes get a wee bit jumbled between different revisions,
but that's a separate tragedy.)
DSPN_DSCR: SL0419 transferred to Brazoria county, removed from State Highway System
APRV_YR: 2017
APRV_DT: NULL
MO_NBR: NULL
Interesting. Looks like this was planned, but didn't go thru. With that in mind, I'll drop this from the watchlist.
Thankfully, there are no other watchlist items sourced from the designation changes files without a minute order, so no need to do a load of searching to make sure everything's still valid.
If anything, route should probably shorted to the former intersection with FM-524, due to the gate moving between 2021 & 2023.

https://github.com/TravelMapping/HighwayData/commit/d38e286a2f1c5111ef3231ae03e21ddf574aa343Based on GSV, it looks like this has opened recently. Apparently it was completed between October 2021 (when I last drove over the old bridge there) and December 2022.

When the FM Roads hit the HB, there will be a point for the U-turn ramp N of the bridge, which can be used by the those who don't want to mark the new bridge clinched.
OK, time to clear the driveway, because 10" of snow.
Then, another Great Big List post, which I'll edit & keep updated.
I like to keep one of those at the end of the thread, to always be able to easily link to it.
If anyone finds any more watchlist items that may need an update, I'd encourage making a new post on the
Updates to Highway Data board.
