New York State Route 14A (NY 14A) is a north–south state highway located in the Finger Lakes region of New York in the United States. It extends for from an interchange with NY 14 in the Schuyler County town of Reading to an intersection with U.S. Route 20 (US 20) and NY 5 west of the Ontario County city of Geneva. In between, the two-lane route serves Yates County and the village of Penn Yan, located at the northeastern tip of Keuka Lake. Outside of Penn Yan, NY 14A traverses rural, rolling terrain dominated by farmland. The route runs parallel to and west of NY 14 for its entire route between the Watkins Glen and Geneva areas. During the 1920s, NY 14A was part of NY 14, which originally served Dundee and Penn Yan on its way from Watkins Glen to Geneva. NY 14 was moved onto its current routing alongside Seneca Lake as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, at which time the old inland alignment became NY 14A. ==Route description== NY 14A begins at an interchange with NY 14 at Gabriel's Junction, a hamlet north of Watkins Glen in the town of Reading. The route heads to the northeast, passing under the Norfolk Southern Railway's Corning Secondary as it runs up the side of a hill. After , the highway takes on a more northerly routing, passing by several farms as it proceeds through Reading Center and toward the Yates County line. In one short stretch north of Reading Center, the highway crosses into Yates County, reenters Schuyler County, and heads back into Yates County. While in Schuyler County for the second time, it meets with the northern terminus of NY 226. Once it reenters Yates County, NY 14A runs due north across the town of Starkey to the village of Dundee, where it is known first as Main Street. Main Street becomes Water Street at the main intersection in Dundee, where it meets Union and Seneca Streets. At the north end of the village, it turns west on Millard Street at a junction near the Dundee Central School. NY 14A remains on Millard Street to the western village line, where it intersects Pre-Emption Road.〔 This north–south highway marks the Preemption Line that divided the Iroquois lands of western New York awarded to New York from those awarded to Massachusetts by the Treaty of Hartford of 1786. Just west of Dundee, NY 14A meets with the eastern terminus of NY 230.〔 From here, the route turns north and runs along the farmland-covered ridge between Seneca and Keuka Lakes,〔 which features a thriving Mennonite community. The highway passes through the town of Milo, serving the small hamlet of Second Milo and the Penn Yan Airport before descending the ridge into Penn Yan, a village at the northeast end of Keuka Lake. It follows Brown and Liberty Streets in the village,〔 sharing the road with NY 54 between Lake and Elm Streets. At the Elm Street intersection, located in Penn Yan's central business district, NY 54A ends at NY 14A and NY 54—completing its alternate loop of the latter—while NY 54 leaves NY 14A to follow Elm Street out of the village.〔〔 NY 14A continues on Liberty Street through the northern part of the village, where it meets the southern terminus of NY 364 at a junction adjacent to the Penn Yan Central School District's campus.〔 North of Penn Yan, NY 14A enters the town of Benton, where it heads due north past several farms on the hilltop north of Keuka Lake. It goes through the hamlet of Benton Center before quietly passing into the Ontario County town of Seneca. In the hamlet of Hall, located north of the county line, NY 14A turns northeast, at which point the due north–south highway becomes County Route 5. NY 14A continues in a general northeasterly direction as it winds its way toward the city of Geneva. Midway between Hall and Geneva, the route picks up NY 245 just before it crosses Wilson Creek, a small stream feeding into Seneca Lake. NY 14A and NY 245 continue northeastward across farmland into the town of Geneva, where both routes terminate at a junction with US 20 and NY 5 just west of the Geneva city limits in a commercialized area known as Lenox Park.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New York State Route 14A」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
