Location: Takoma Park
Length: 0.99 mi[1] (1.59 km)
Existed: 1956–2012
Main article: Maryland Route 787

Maryland Route 787 was the designation for Flower Avenue, which ran 0.99 miles (1.59 km) from MD 195 north to MD 320 within Takoma Park in southeastern Montgomery County.[1] The highway was constructed as the original MD 194 in Takoma Park in 1923 and extended north to former MD 516 (Franklin Avenue) in 1933.[2][3][4] MD 194 was redesignated MD 787 in 1956 following a three route number swap also involving modern MD 194 and MD 71, which became part of US 301.[5][6] MD 787's northern end was truncated to MD 320 in 1999.[7] The highway was removed from the state highway system when the street was transferred to the city of Takoma Park in 2012.[8]

MD 987

Maryland Route 987 was the designation for Old Columbia Pike, which ran from US 29 just south of MD 103 north to Main Street in Ellicott City in northeastern Howard County.[9] The highway was originally built as the northern end of the Ellicott and Clarksville Turnpike in the 19th century.[10] The old turnpike was reconstructed as a 14-foot-wide (4.3 m) macadam road in 1918.[11] In 1927, the highway became part of the original MD 27, which was replaced by US 29 in 1934.[12][13] MD 987 was assigned to old Columbia Pike after US 29 was moved to its current course from south of MD 103 to US 40 in 1951.[14] The portion of the highway north of MD 103 was removed from the state highway system in 1987.[15] The very short piece south of MD 103 remained until the construction of the US 29–MD 100 interchange in 1993.[15][16]
