Oklahoma City routings

AASHTO decommisioned highway
[edit]This article lists April Fools Day as the 1985 date that AASHTO decommissioned US Route 66. Shouldn't this day of infamy be June 27, 1985? April 1 is cited to [1] but that source is just for OK, not the entire eight-state route. 66.102.83.61 (talk) 00:31, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
