Route Description
NY 252A began at an intersection with NY 33A and NY 386 in Chili Center, a hamlet located within the town of Chili. The route proceeded eastward from the commercial community and passed through largely residential neighborhoods on its way across Chili. As it approached the Greater Rochester International Airport, the homes were gradually replaced by industrial factories and warehouses. It crossed the Rochester and Southern Railroad in the community of Maplewood just before intersecting Beahan Road, a local road that serves as the western extent of the airport property.
The route, and Paul Road along with it, turned southward at the Beahan Road junction, replacing Beahan Road as the boundary-delimiting highway. This portion of NY 252A formed a "U" as it looped around the southern end of the airport's primary runway. East of the runway, the route gradually curved to the northeast before ending south of the airport at a junction with NY 383 2 miles (3.2 km) southwest of the city of Rochester.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“Do not require a description of the countries towards which you sail. The description does not describe them to you, and to- morrow you arrive there, and know them by inhabiting them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
