Eisenhower created the Interstate Highway System so that citizens could have easy access to highways and travel to major cities without using a map. He set up the system so that even-numbered roads traveled east and west and odd-numbered roads travel north and south. He also numbered the roads according to a grid. Currently, the southernmost highway is I-10, and the northernmost highway is I-94. The westernmost highway is I-5, and the eastern most is I-95. This is a brilliant plan, but now, it's all being destroyed by the new highway, I-69. I-65 runs through Nashville, meaning that I-69 should be east of Nashville, TN. Since I-69 is located between I-45 and I-49, its proper number should be I-47.

This change needs to happen now. Imagine what will happen when our children lose their cell phone signal or their GPS suddenly stops working. What if they get lost?  How will they find their way home? Please protect our children and help preserve Eisenhower's brilliant system.
