New York State Route 393 (NY 393) was an east–west

Dryden town line. The western terminus of the route was at an intersection with NY 13 (modern NY 366
) in East Ithaca. Its eastern terminus was at Game Farm Road, a local road that straddled the boundary between the towns of Ithaca and Dryden.

NY 393 was assigned in the early 1930s as a signed designation for a highway that the state of New York had assumed maintenance of in the 1910s. It originally extended west along Mitchell Street to NY 79, but was truncated to Ithaca Road when NY 13 was rerouted through Ithaca in the mid-1930s. The NY 393 designation was removed in the mid-1960s, and its former routing is now maintained by the city of Ithaca and Tompkins County. The designation is currently reserved by the New York State Department of Transportation for a highway in Chautauqua County.

History

The portion of Mitchell Street and Ellis Hollow Road from the

The highway was added to the state highway system in late October 1914. In 1916, construction began on an upgrade of Mitchell Street in Ithaca, again partially paid for by the state of New York. All of Mitchell Street was accepted into the state highway system on August 31, 1917.[7]

The state-maintained portion of Mitchell Street and Ellis Hollow Road was designated as NY 393 c. 1933. The route began at

The NY 393 designation is currently reserved by the New York State Department of Transportation for a proposed "Chautauqua Lakeway" in Chautauqua County between Interstate 86/NY 17 and NY 5. No timetable exists for the Lakeway's construction nor for NY 393's reassignment.[11]
