	ORoads: Oregon Route 210
		OR-210 was designated at the inception of the Oregon state route numbering system in 1935 along the Scholls Highway #143 between the small communities of Scholls and Raleigh Hills.
		In my opinion, the Scholls Highway should be completely dropped from state mainenance, seeing as how all it does is connect OR-217 to Hall Blvd., but OR-210 should be kept along its entire route because it connects Beaverton to rural Washington County farm country and other destinations, such as Newberg.
		A 1941 Shell map of Oregon seems to show the alignment over the green section (it is too zoomed-out to know for sure), so I would say that this alignment was bypassed by the 1950's.

	ORoads: Oregon Route 141
		Once the OR-217 freeway was completed in 1972, the OR-217 designation was moved off of the Beaverton-Tualatin Highway #141 and onto the new freeway.
		The only way for motorists to know that they're even on the highway is by noticing the mileposts on the side of the road, which are marked surprisingly well for a highway broken up by jurisdictional transfers; some even remain on city-maintained stretches.
		The Beaverton-Tualatin Highway #141 has had jurisdictional transfers ever since the OR-217 freeway was built; the portion between downtown Beaverton and Progress was either transferred in 1972 or 1979; I'm betting on the former, but in any event, it was transferred by August of 1983.

	Transportation in Portland, Oregon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Like transportation in the rest of the United States, the primary mode of local transportation in Portland (Oregon) is the automobile.
		This focus is atypical in an era when automobile use led many areas to neglect their core cities in favor of development along interstate highways, in suburbs, and satellite cities.
		Portland is also well known for the highways that it didn't build, or removed altogether, such as Interstate 505, the Mt.

		Highway 217 is not the only tolling conversation piece.

		Before the freeway was completed in the 1970s, Oregon 217 ran along surface streets.

	BlueOregon: Can we stop the toll roads?
		The Oregon Department of Transportation continues speeding down the path toward toll roads, blithely bypassing warning signs of growing public opposition to the entire notion.
		Rationing highway space is certainly the motive behind the silly plan to tax Oregon motorists by the miles they have driven every time they fill up at a gas pump.
		That will leave the non-bypass highway much freer for the poor who are just traveling to their minimum-wage job at the casino (do I have that right?).
