New York State Route 260 (NY 260) is a north–south state highway in Monroe County, New York, in the United States. The southern terminus of the route is at an intersection with NY 31 in the town of Sweden. Its northern terminus is at a junction with the Lake Ontario State Parkway in the town of Hamlin near the Lake Ontario shoreline. NY 260 crosses the Erie Canal near Brockport and intersects NY 104 and NY 18 in Clarkson. Much of NY 260 is a two-lane highway that passes through rural portions of western Monroe County.
The portion of NY 260 south of NY 18 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. NY 260 was extended north to North Hamlin Road c. 1931 and to the Lake Ontario State Parkway in the early 1960s. All of NY 260 north of NY 18 was originally maintained by Monroe County as the unsigned County Route 230 (CR 230); however, ownership and maintenance of CR 230 south of the Lake Ontario State Parkway was transferred from Monroe County to the state of New York in 2007 as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government.

“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”

“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
