Executive Action: "A Shabby Fiction about JFK"

[Michael Capasse]

Nope. There never was a route with a direct Main-to-Stemmons turn. As I've said, the interchange to the Stemmons on ramp is designed to prevent westbound traffic on  Main from entering the ramp.

  it was printed in the newspaper. lol

Opinions of a fictional movie.
So what?

btw the previous parade route was published on the 22nd.

C'mon Capasse even you aren't this desperate. The lane divider stopping a direct path from Main to Stemmons Freeway was there long before 11/22/63. And since the Trade Mart was the destination the parade route followed the local traffic route.







The newspaper approximate route summation has the triple underpass after the Stemmons turnoff but as can be seen, this is not close to being accurate. To allow traffic to use the freeway the traffic was redirected to Elm so as not to create congestion on the short distance between the underpass on Main street and Stemmons.



The people of Dallas lined Houston and Elm, lucky they didn't read the paper that day.

Page 32 of the Warren Report indicates that a test run was performed on the 18th of November and the most practical route from Main Street to the Trade Mart was by using Elm street because as seen above, Main Street was blocked from a direct route to Stemmons Freeway.

Your diagram cleared up a misconception I've long held. I thought that Main St. continued past the Stemmons entrance ramp all the way to Industrial Parkway. It appears from your diagram that Main St. ends just past the ramp and becomes westbound Commerce.
