New York State Route 350 (NY 350) is a north–southstate highway in westernWayne County, New York, in the United States. It extends for 11.40 miles (18.35 km) from an intersection withNY 31 andNY 31F in thevillage of Macedon to a junction withNY 104 in the town ofOntario. NY 350 serves as the eastern terminus for three routes: the aforementioned NY 31F,NY 286, andNY 441, all of which originate in theRochester area. Aside from the village of Macedon at its south end and thehamlet ofOntario Center at its north terminus, NY 350 serves mostly rural areas dominated by farmland. NY 350 was assignedc. 1932 to the portion of its routing south of Cator Corners, the north junction with NY 31F. It was extended northward to its current terminus in the 1940s.
NY 350 begins at an intersection withNY 31 in thevillage of Macedon near the formerMobil Chemical andTyco plant. The junction also serves as the eastern terminus ofNY 31F, whichoverlaps NY 350 north from the intersection on Ontario Center Road. The conjoined routes cross over theErie Canal and an industrial railroad spur off of theCSX Transportation-ownedRochester Subdivision before exiting the village and entering the surroundingtown of Macedon. NY 31F and NY 350 pass through forested areas up to an overpass carrying the Rochester Subdivision line over the road, at which point the wooded areas give way to open fields. The two routes split roughly 1.75 miles (2.82 km) north of Macedon at a junction named Cator Corners. While NY 31F heads west throughMacedon Center towardMonroe County, NY 350 continues east as Ontario Center Road.[4]
As NY 350 departs Cator Corners, it curves back to the north, leaving Macedon Center Road—the east–west roadway that NY 31F follows from Cator Corners west to the county line—to continue east as a county road. NY 350 continues across rolling farmland to the town ofWalworth, where it meets the eastern terminus ofNY 441 at a four-way intersection with Walworth–Penfield Road west of thehamlet of Walworth. The route continues on, entering a slightly more forested area as it heads toward a junction withNY 286 at Atlantic Avenue. Like NY 31F and NY 441 before it, NY 286 serves as an east–west connector between NY 350 and the eastern suburbs of the city ofRochester 15 miles (24 km) to the west.[4]
Past NY 286, the wooded areas become more sporadic as NY 350 turns to travel in a more northwesterly direction across farmlands and fields. It soon enters the town ofOntario, where development along the road increases as it heads into the hamlet ofOntario Center. Here, it passesWayne Central High School of theWayne Central School District prior to intersectingRidge Road in the center of the community. This junction once served as Ontario Center's main business district; however, it has been replaced in purpose by the adjacent four-laneNY 104, located just 200 yards (183 m) north of Ridge Road. NY 350 ends upon intersecting the NY 104divided highway; however, Ontario Center Road continues north of the east–west commercial strip for 3 miles (5 km) toLake Road near theLake Ontario shoreline and theR. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant.[4]
The portion of modern NY 350 thatoverlaps withNY 31F was originally designated as part of Route 20, an unsignedlegislative route, by theNew York State Legislature in 1908. Route 20 continued east from here on what is nowNY 31 and west on current NY 31F.[5][6] On March 1, 1921, Route 20 was altered to follow modern NY 31 andNY 250 betweenMacedon andFairport, bypassing current NY 350 entirely. Even though it was no longer part of a legislative route,[7] the Macedon–Cator Corners highway was taken over by the state of New York by 1926. At the time, it was the only portion of what is now NY 350 that was state-maintained.[8]
In the1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, the segment of current NY 350 between Atlantic Avenue andRidge Road became part of an extendedNY 35, which had ended at a junction west of thevillage of Avon inLivingston County prior to 1930. The extension took NY 35 northeastward throughMonroe andWayne Counties to a new terminus in the town ofOntario. NY 35 entered Wayne County on modernNY 286 (Atlantic Avenue) and followed Atlantic Avenue and Ontario Center Road north toNY 3 (Ridge Road; laterU.S. Route 104 or US 104).[9] By the following year, the portion of Ontario Center Road from Cator Corners toNY 33 (Walworth–Penfield Road; nowNY 441) was designated as part ofNY 33B. The Macedon–Cator Corners segment of former legislative Route 20 was designated as NY 350c. 1932.[2][3]
NY 35 was split up into two routes in the early 1940s. The portion of old NY 35 west of Ontario Center Road becameNY 383 while the Ontario Center Road section became part of an extended NY 350. The extension created anoverlap between NY 350 and NY 33B from Cator Corners to NY 33.[10][11] NY 33 was truncated on its east end to downtownRochester on January 1, 1949. As a result, NY 33B was redesignated asNY 31F. The easternmost leg of the route still overlapped NY 350; however, it now followed NY 350 south toNY 31 in Macedon.[12] NY 350 was extended a short distance northward in the mid-1940s to meet the newsuper two highway carrying US 104 between Union Hill andSodus.[11][13]
The entire route is inWayne County.
