[edit] Grand River in Owosso
I was in Owosso the other day and went drove by Grand River about 10 Miles south of M21, I didn't have a chance to look at it at the time but according to google maps, it goes from Laingsburg to between Byron and Bancroft running parrallel to its 15 mile south self. I'm not sure if it should be mentioned and if so as a part of the road even though it does not connect. Gurileck 03:46, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] US 16
This should probably be expanded in scope to cover US 16's history in Michigan. Or would in make more sense to make a separate U.S. Route 16 in Michigan? --SPUI (T - C) 18:21, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
