History
In the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, NY 18 was extended eastward from its original terminus in Buffalo to a new terminus in Rochester. NY 18 was extended again by the following year to end at an intersection with NY 250 in Webster. In between the Irondequoit Bay Outlet and NY 250, NY 18 utilized Lake Road. Although Lake Road continued east to Sodus Point, NY 18 never extended any farther eastward than its junction with NY 250. NY 18 was truncated c. 1973 to NY 104 in the area of Rochester known as Kodak Park. The former routing of NY 18 east of the north end of the Sea Breeze Expressway became NY 941L, an unsigned reference route. At some point between 2004 and 2007, the definition of NY 941L was altered to include only Lake Road; that is, the portion of NY 18's former routing from the Irondequoit Bay Outlet Bridge to NY 250.
In 2007, ownership and maintenance of NY 941L was transferred from the state of New York to Monroe County as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government. A bill (S4856, 2007) to enact the swap was introduced in the New York State Senate on April 23 and passed by both the Senate and the New York State Assembly on June 20. The act was signed into law by Governor Eliot Spitzer on August 28. Under the terms of the act, it took effect 90 days after it was signed into law; thus, the maintenance swap officially took place on November 26, 2007. The former routing of NY 941L became a westward extension of CR 1.
