New York State Route 250 - Route Description

Route Description

NY 250, the easternmost north–south state route in Monroe County, begins at an intersection with NY 96 a short distance northwest of Eastview Mall in the town of Perinton. The two-lane route heads to the northeast as Moseley Road, a name it retains for the next 4 miles (6 km). It initially heads uphill through a forested area; however, at Garnsey Road, it turns northward and begins to slowly descend into a part of town dominated by housing tracts. The residential surroundings end 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Garnsey Road, where NY 250 meets NY 31 in a large commercial district that plays home to Perinton Square Mall, a shopping mall located just northeast of the junction. Past the junction, the route reenters a residential area and temporarily curves to the east to bypass a hill overlooking Ayrault Road. NY 250 returns to its due north routing at Ayrault Road and continues into the village of Fairport, where it changes names from Moseley Road to South Main Street at Hulburt Road.

In Fairport, NY 250 follows South Main Street down a large hill that levels off at the southern edge of the village's business district. Here, NY 250 intersects Church Street (NY 31F) and passes by the First Baptist Church of Fairport, located on the northwestern corner of the junction. The route continues north into the center of the village, passing by several small businesses and Fairport Village Landing—the largest shopping plaza in the village—before crossing over the Erie Canal by way of a lift bridge and becoming North Main Street. Once on the north side of the canal, NY 250 crosses the CSX Transportation-owned Rochester and West Shore Subdivisions at a single grade crossing ahead of High Street. At this point, the businesses give way to homes as the highway ascends a hill at the north end of the village and meets Whitney Road at the northern village line.

North of Whitney Road, NY 250 becomes Fairport–Nine Mile Point Road as it descends and ascends a series of small hills populated by homes on its way into Penfield. About 0.5 miles (0.8 km) north of the town line and 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of Fairport, the route enters Lloyd's Corners, a commercial district surrounding NY 250's junction with NY 441. The residential surroundings return north of the intersection, however, as the route approaches a junction with Whalen Road. Past this point, the homes begin to get further spaced apart as NY 250 heads northeastward into a rural area of eastern Monroe County. It remains on a northeastward course for just over 1 mile (1.6 km) before curving back to the north at a junction with NY 286 (Atlantic Avenue), its last major intersection before entering the town of Webster as Webster Road.

About 0.3 miles (0.5 km) later, the highway reenters a more populated area that delimits the southern edge of the village of Webster. Now South Avenue, NY 250 heads north through the densely populated southern half of the community, passing by Spry Middle School on its way into the village center. Once again, the homes are supplanted by businesses as NY 250 and NY 404 (Main Street) meet at the heart of the business district. North of the junction, the route changes names to North Avenue and connects to the Irondequoit–Wayne County Expressway (NY 104) at an interchange just two blocks from NY 404. It continues on, crossing the Ontario Midland Railroad before leaving the village and becoming Webster Road once more. The highway heads onward through mostly residential areas of northeastern Webster to Lake Road (formerly part of NY 18), where NY 250 ends 250 yards (230 m) from the Lake Ontario shoreline at Nine Mile Point.
