[edit] Route description
NY 250 begins at NY 96 in Perinton as Moseley Road, a name it retains for 4 miles (6.4 km) while intersecting with NY 31 near the Perinton Square Mall 2.4 miles (3.9 km) to the north. The name is lost upon entering the village of Fairport where, at an intersection with Hulburt Road, it becomes South Main Street.
In Fairport, NY 250 intersects NY 31F before becoming North Main Street after crossing the Erie Canal. Upon crossing Whitney Road at the north border of the village, the route continues to the north through Penfield as Fairport-Nine Mile Point Road.
Just over 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of Fairport, NY 250 intersects NY 441 at an intersection known locally as Lloyd's Corners. After another two miles, NY 250 crosses over NY 286, its last major intersection before entering the village of Webster as Webster Road.
Now South Avenue, NY 250 becomes North Avenue after crossing over NY 404 in the center of Webster. Just to the north, NY 250 interchanges with the Rochester-Wayne County (NY 104) expressway. Outside of the village in the town of Webster, NY 250 becomes Webster Road once again, the name it retains until its northern terminus at Lake Road 250 yards (230 m) from the Lake Ontario shoreline at Nine Mile Point.
[edit] History
NY 250 was assigned by 1938 to a previously unnumbered roadway from NY 96 (then NY 2) in Perinton to Lake Road (then NY 18) in Webster.[2][3]
NY 250 used to be part of a concurrency with NY 31F through the village of Fairport. Until NY 31F was rerouted out of the village along East Church Street and Turk Hill Road, the route used to turn north at NY 250 and follow 250 through the village and across the Erie Canal, where it turned to the east onto High Street.[4] NY 31F was realigned to its current alignment in 1984, eliminating the concurrency.[5]
