18 March 2011
- Colorado Highways:
- Got rid of the "barebones" route list pages, which had only
current routes, not historic ones. I didn't really see any sense in

smaller. Nearly everyone had DSL or cable internet nowadays.

- Updated the city population ranks with 2010 Census data.
- Revised the ramp meters page,
mainly to get rid of the listing of which ramps had meters. I couldn't
keep up with all the meters being added so decided to throw in the
towel.
- Minor updates to History page.
