Standish Avenue used to be M-13 just south of Petoskey
and one of the main roads leading into the city from the direction of Walloon Lake.
(NOW Bear River Road turning into Standish Avenue)
Yes, M-13... When the state highway system was first designed in 1919...
Next, M-13 became M-131 following the path of the present Bear River Road.
The Bear River Road M-131 followed the general path direction,
but a different location, from modern US 131.
The Standish Avenue Bridge was built by the Michigan State Highway Department,
using Petoskey Portland Cement.
