List of former state routes in Ohio (569–673)

This is a list of former state routes in Ohio since 1923 with route numbers from 569 through 673 inclusive. For a full list of former state highways in Ohio, see the list of state routes in Ohio.

SR 569

SR 569 was a state route in Williams County connecting US 127 in Jefferson Township to US 20 in Madison Township. In the community of Kunkle, SR 569 intersected a now-defunct segment of SR 246. The route existed from 1938 until 1955 when the entire road became a part of Williams County Road 13.

SR 570

SR 570 was a state-maintained section of Neowash Road in southern Lucas County. The four-mile-long (6.4 km) route connected SR 295 in Providence Township and US 24 southwest of Waterville. The route existed from 1937 until 1961. Today, Neowash Road is signed as Lucas County Road 143.

SR 571 (1937–1955)

SR 571 was a former state route in Bridgewater Township, Williams County connecting US 20 and the Michigan state line. The four-mile-long (6.4 km) route existed from 1937 until 1955. The road itself is still a state highway as SR 576 was signed on the entire route after being extended from Montpelier.

Ohio State Route 72

State Route 72 (SR 72) is a north–south state highway in the U.S. state of Ohio. Its southern terminus is at US 62 near Highland, and its northern terminus is at SR 334 just north of Springfield. As it travels through Springfield, Ohio, it is known as Limestone Street.

History

Prior to receiving the designation of SR 72, the route of what is now SR 72 was included within the state highway system in 1915 along various routes. The Penn Township–Springfield routes were unified as SR 72 in 1923 routed mostly along the same roads it runs today. The only major change that occurred to the highway's routing happened around 1972 when US 68 was routed out of Springfield on a freeway west of the city. SR 72 was extended north along the former US 68 to end north of the city. The interchange that currently serves as SR 334's western terminus was SR 72's northern terminus at first but was truncated to its current terminus by 2003.

Ohio State Route 252

State Route 252 (SR 252) is a 23.04-mile (37.08 km) long north–south state highway in the northern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. The southern terminus of this state route is at a signalized intersection that marks the western split of the concurrency of SR 18 and SR 57 nearly 1.25 miles (2.01 km) northwest of the city limits of Medina. SR 252 has its northern terminus at a T-intersection with U.S. Route 6 (US 6) in the western Cleveland suburb of Bay Village.

Route description

Along its path, SR 252 travels through northern Medina County, the extreme eastern portion of Lorain County and the westernmost part of Cuyahoga County. There are no stretches of SR 252 that are included as a part of the National Highway System (NHS). The NHS is a network of highways that are identified to be most important for the economy, mobility and defense of the country.

History

SR 252 was assigned in 1925. It was originally along its current alignment from its southern terminus at SR 18 and SR 57 northwest of Medina to its junction with SR 82, at the time known as SR 81, west of Strongsville. One year later, the highway was extended north to its current northern terminus.

Nevada State Route 520

State Route 520 (SR 520) was a short state highway in Carson City, Nevada. The route served the central portion of the city, providing access to several government buildings in the capitol district. It was turned over to local control in 2010.

Route description

State Route 520 began on the southern end of Carson City at a junction with South Carson Street (U.S. Route 395 Business/SR 529) across from the Carson Ranger District office of the U.S. Forest Service. The route turned north from this intersection, passing headquarters for the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles, Nevada Department of Public Safety, and Nevada Department of Transportation. Stewart Street runs parallel to the east side of Carson Street as it heads northward.

As SR 520 crossed East Fifth Street (SR 513), it entered the downtown district. The 0.2-mile (0.32 km) stretch from Fifth Street to Musser Street forms the eastern border of the main state capitol complex. In this section, the route passed behind major state buildings such as the Nevada Legislature, the Supreme Court of Nevada, and the Nevada State Capitol. The same segment of road hosts other state institutions like the Nevada State Library and Archives and buildings for the Nevada Department of Education.

United Freedom Front

The United Freedom Front (UFF) was a small American Marxist organization active in the 1970s and 1980s. It was originally called the Sam Melville/Jonathan Jackson Unit, and its members became known as the Ohio 7 when they were brought to trial. Between 1975 and 1984 the UFF carried out at least 20 bombings and nine bank robberies in the northeastern United States, targeting corporate buildings, courthouses, and military facilities. Brent L. Smith describes them as "undoubtedly the most successful of the leftist terrorists of the 1970s and 1980s." The group's members were eventually apprehended and convicted of conspiracy, murder, attempted murder, and other charges. Two, Tom Manning and Jaan Laaman, remain incarcerated today.

Activities

The group was founded in 1975 as the Sam Melville/Jonathan Jackson Unit, setting off a bomb at the Massachusetts State House under that name, but changed its name to the United Freedom Front the same year. The initial members were Raymond Luc Levasseur (the UFF's leader), Tom Manning, and their respective spouses, Patricia Gros and Carole Manning. Levasseur and Tom Manning were both Vietnam War veterans and ex-convicts. The four had worked together in prison reform groups before forming the UFF. Four other members joined the group in the following years: Jaan Laaman and Barbara Curzi (another married couple), Kazi Toure (born Christopher King), and Richard Williams.
