Jefferson City Sign Change Denied at I 70 and 54 Junction
Rep James R Strong sought adding Jefferson City name to the I 70 U S 54 junction signs and to recognize the Winston Churchill Memorial at Fulton. State highway chief Robert N Hunter refused, citing roadability and sign purposes. He noted supplemental signs already direct travelers to U S 54, Fulton, and the capital, and said budget cuts push signs toward major tourist sites like the Lake of the Ozarks, making a Jefferson City sign unlikely.
