Talk:New York State Route 96

Northern terminus
It's unclear whether the northern terminus has been truncated from East Main St. to the Inner Loop. Route logs from 2004, 2009, 2012 and 2017 all show "Inner Loop" as the terminus, but contemporary inventory files show it as East Main St. The 1970 route log shows US 15 (South Ave. at the time) as the terminus, and it's possible that a route log after 1970 changed the terminus to "Inner Loop", referring to Plymouth Ave. (which for a time formed the western side of the Inner Loop). In other words, NY 96 may have been extended along Main St. to Plymouth Ave., where it would have met the eastern terminus of NY 33 (already given in 1970 as "Inner Loop").

In short, it isn't evident from the route logs that the terminus of NY 96 was recently, if ever, placed at the eastern edge of the Inner Loop—and even if it was, the Inner Loop no longer exists at that location, so the terminus would need revision anyway. ESRoads (talk) 15:52, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
