Our vision for the U.S. 36 is for a four-lane freeway or expressway from Indianapolis to Belleville, Kansas; a high-standard two-lane (Super Two) highway west through Kansas and Colorado to Denver; and a freeway or expressway to Boulder and Estes Park.

This artery of commerce should not be constricted by narrow shoulders, inadequate bridges, low speed limits or any other factor which would tend to discourage through traffic. U.S. 36, as a major east-west highway and the shortest route between Indianapolis and Denver, should be part of the National Highway System for its entire length.

We support extension of Interstate 72, now complete across the Mississippi River and planned to the Missouri at St. Joseph, into and across Kansas along U.S. 36 as an alternative to overcrowded freeways to the north and south, and as a principal tool for economic development of the northern tier of Kansas counties. To support this goal, we urge the State of Missouri to complete the four-lane expressway which now stretches two-thirds of the way across that state.
