There is usually more than one way to get to a destination.
I really don't understand the point you are making about Connely or are you just trying to state a fact?

In this case protocol for turns and speed were thrown out. The motorcade through Dallas was supposed to go through the center of Dealey Plaza along Main Street, but to get to the Trade Mart it would have had to cross a median to get to the Stemmons Freeway.
The decision was made to make the two turns, one on Hudson and then a greater than 90 degree on Elm St, both of which are against SS policy, and connects directly to the Stemmons Frwy.
The route had been published a few days before.

"I really don't understand the point you are making about Connely or are you just trying to state a fact?" Someone raised the suspicion about who chose the route. I'm pointing out that the choice of route was dependent on the destination, and that was insisted on by the governor, who was also a victim.
As for being more than one way to get there, look at a map of Dallas. If you want to go from Love Field to the Trade Mart while having a motorcade down Main St, there really were no choices involved.
