New York State Route 350 (NY 350) is a north–south

hamlet of Ontario Center
at its north terminus, NY 350 serves mostly rural areas dominated by farmland. NY 350 was assigned c. 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.

Route description

NY 350 begins at an intersection with

town 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 through Macedon Center toward Monroe County, NY 350 continues east as Ontario Center Road.[4]

Approaching NY 441 on NY 350 southbound in Walworth

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 of

hamlet of Walworth. The route continues on, entering a slightly more forested area as it heads toward a junction with NY 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 of Rochester 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 of

divided highway; however, Ontario Center Road continues north of the east–west commercial strip for 3 miles (5 km) to Lake Road near the Lake Ontario shoreline and the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant.[4]

History

The southernmost stretch of NY 350 in Macedon, just north of its terminus at NY 31. This section is also part of NY 31F.

The portion of modern NY 350 that

Macedon and Fairport, 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 the

NY 33B. The Macedon–Cator Corners segment of former legislative Route 20 was designated as NY 350 c. 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 became

overlap between NY 350 and NY 33B from Cator Corners to NY 33.[10][11] NY 33 was truncated on its east end to downtown Rochester on January 1, 1949. As a result, NY 33B was redesignated as NY 31F. The easternmost leg of the route still overlapped NY 350; however, it now followed NY 350 south to NY 31 in Macedon.[12] NY 350 was extended a short distance northward in the mid-1940s to meet the new super two highway carrying US 104 between Union Hill and Sodus.[11][13]

The entire route is in Wayne County.
