Not A Desirable Change To Roosevelt Highway Route
The Kalispell community and local ranch interests push to move the Roosevelt Highway from Rexford to the Black Diamond Trail via Kalispell, challenging State Highway Chairman Good. The Independent argues for retaining the present Kootenai River route as engineering and economic best, warning against highway switches driven by local cash interests. It notes scenic beauty on both routes but emphasizes the value of a stable, well graded road system over opportunistic changes.
