• Redirect to Wisconsin Highway 175 since the current extent of Stadium Freeway is part of that route, no need for a separate article. Dough4872 01:47, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment The problem with that is that the highway has been oft-designated under various numbers and the current talk is that the 175 designation may be removed as a current plan sees it converted to a surface boulevard. Then there's

• We should merge Wisconsin Highway 341 into the WI 175 article since the entire extent of WI 341 was replaced with WI 175. Even if Stadium Freeway is converted into a boulevard and no longer is part of WI 175, the history of it should still be covered in the WI 175 article since it was once part of it.

• Comment There are gobs of articles, under this name, in the main Milwaukee papers that newspapers.com does not have (1,261 total hits), and route numbers are rarely used in this historical coverage. It looks like, at some point, it had North and South legs. The history seems quite long and involved, and I'd be willing to partner with someone with more experience in this topic area to identify needed newspaper sourcing and clip it from GenealogyBank or NewsBank.
