[edit] History

M-106 was first designated on 1928-06-28. It was routed from US 12/Michigan Avenue along Cooper Street to Bunkerhill Road, a total of 4.5 miles (7.2 km). This route was extended north to Stockbridge on 1930-12-08. A further realignment of M-36 resulted in the extension of M-106 to Gregory. Cooper Street in Jackson was converted to one-way, southbound traffice on 1967-11-30. A northbound routing along Milwaukee Street was established. The south end of southbound M-106 was trimmed back to end at BL I-94/BUS US 127/M-50. Two-way traffic was restored in 2004. M-106 was shifted only along Cooper Street (formerly Milwaukee Street) and Francis Street (formerly Cooper Street) is left as an unsigned trunklin.[1]
