County Route 236 (CR 236) in Onondaga County, New York (referred to as CR 236 by the Onondaga County Department of Transportation) is a loop road in the town of Marcellus. The route begins at an intersection with the New Seneca Turnpike (former New York State Route 175 or NY 175, now CR 41), loops around the area, nearing Camillus in the process. Route 236's northern terminus at an intersection with itself at the intersections of Limeledge and Stump Roads.
The highway goes under the names of Gypsy Road, Limeledge Road, Shepard Road, Northwest Townline Road and Stump Road. All of these highways are named as either a memorial or a part of the municipality by the town of Marcellus.
Route description
Route 236 begins at an intersection with the New Seneca Turnpike (CR 41) in the town of Marcellus, which is located near the village border. Route 236 parallels a creek and CR 41 as it begins. The road heads northward, quickly intersecting with the Old Seneca Turnpike (CR 133), with which it becomes concurrent. This concurrency is short, with Route 236 turning on Limeledge Road soon after.[1]
Route 236 then continues through rural regions, with homes, fields and trees surrounding the highway. The highway then intersects with Stump Road, which is the final stretch of CR 236. The highway then intersects with one of its suffixed routes, CR 236C (Glover Road). Route 236 then continues passes Marcellus County Airport, where it turns to the east. There it intersects with CR 236A, which is a connector to NY 321. CR 236B is also accessible via CR 236A.[1]
Route 236 then turns to the south along the town line of Marcellus and Skaneateles. The highway is then known as Shepard Road and comes quickly to an intersection with CR 244, where Shepard Road turns off. Route 236 after this then becomes known as Northwest Town Line Road. Route 236 passes rural surroundings like on Limeledge Road and comes to a four-way intersection with Stump Road (CR 176). Route 236 turns along Stump Road and heads eastward, terminating at Limeledge Road, which was part of CR 236.[1]
History
Designation
Each of Route 236's names comes with a different meaning from the town of Marcellus. The first road, Gypsy Road, is named after the English gypsies that once lived in the area. The Limeledge Road alignment is named after the abundancy of limestone in the area. Northwest Townline Road is named after the northwest townline of Marcellus, which runs along the Skaneateles border. Stump Road, the final segment of CR 236, is named after the stumps that had to be removed to produce the road.[3]
Current history
CR 236 is not signed and the fact that only one county route in Onondaga County is signed,[4] the routes are not usually marked on maps, so an exact date for the route's inception is unknown.[5][6][original research?] There is an exception to this, however. The New York State Department of Transportation revealed in a 1989 and 1990 Digital Roster Quadrangle for the towns of Marcellus and Camillus that CR 236 ran along the said alignment. The maps also showed the others in the area as their respective designations. However, the quadrangles do not mark the three suffixed routes. Instead, they are all marked as parts of CR 236.[2][7]
In December 2003, the Onondaga County Department of Transportation proposed reconstructing Limeledge Road (CR 236A) and nearby Flat Rock Road (CR 236B). The plans included widening Limeledege and Flat Rock for trucks heading to NY 321 (along with a nearby quarry in Marcellus) and removing a bend on Limeledge. On December 17, a resident of Limeledge Road made headlines in the Syracuse area when she opposed the idea on the basis that Limeledge would become a "speedway".[8] The following week, the outcry grew and the Onondaga County Department of Transportation was asked to reconsider. The county's plan was to rebuild Limeledge Road from scratch, and they had told residents in March about it. The original resident making an outcry dropped any conduct accusations after being told it would not affect the neighborhood.[9]
Suffixed routes
- CR 236A is a short connector to NY 321 that continues the Limeledge Road designation.[10]
- CR 236B is Flat Rock Road, which is a connector to a farm near Camillus.[3][11]
- CR 236C, also known as Glover Road, is a connector from CR 236 to NY 174.[12] Route 236C's name, Glover Road, is named after the John Glover family who were stonecutters from Ireland.[3]
Major intersections
The entire route is in Marcellus, Onondaga County.
