context_page_description: New York State Route 14 is a state highway located in western New York in the United States. Along with NY 19, it is one of two routes to transect the state in a north–south fashion between the Pennsylvania border and Lake Ontario. The southern terminus is at the state line in the Chemung County town of Ashland, where it continues south as Pennsylvania Route 14. Its northern terminus is at a cul-de-sac on Greig Street in the Wayne County village of Sodus Point. NY 14 has direct connections with every major east–west highway in western New York, including Interstate 86 and NY 17, U.S. Route 20 and NY 5, and the New York State Thruway. It passes through two cities—Elmira and Geneva—and serves many villages as it traverses the state.
  NY 14 was assigned in 1924 to an alignment extending from Elmira to Sodus Point via Watkins Glen, Penn Yan, and Geneva. It was extended south to Pennsylvania by 1926 and realigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to follow its modern routing alongside Seneca Lake between Watkins Glen and Geneva. Its former routing via Penn Yan became NY 14A, NY 14's lone suffixed route.
context_section_description: NY 14 was significantly altered by 1947 to follow Broadway past Pennsylvania Avenue to Walnut Street. Here, the route turned to head north through the city on Walnut Street, Roe Avenue, and Davis Street to Elmira Heights, where Davis Street became Oakwood Avenue. At 14th Street, NY 14 turned east, following the street for several blocks in order to rejoin Grand Central Avenue. NY 328, meanwhile, was shifted eastward onto College Avenue between Oakwood Avenue and Thurston Street and realigned south of the Chemung River to follow Pennsylvania Avenue and Main Street by this time. NY 14 was rerouted c. 1961 to bypass the center of Horseheads to the west on NY 17 and Westinghouse Road.
  The route was altered again at some point between 1962 and 1964 to follow Pennsylvania Avenue from Southport to downtown Elmira, where it turned east onto Water Street (then-NY 17E) and followed it to what is now exit 56 of the Southern Tier Expressway (NY 17). Here, NY 14 joined the expressway, following it north and west to Grand Central Avenue. The realignment created an overlap with NY 328 from Southport to Main Street and extended the overlap with NY 17 southeast to Water Street. NY 328 was truncated south to its junction with NY 14 in Southport c. 1978. Its former routing from Southport to Horseheads became part of a realigned NY 14.
  In the late 1970s, construction started on the Elmira Arterial, a four-lane divided highway through the center of Elmira that was later renamed the Clemens Center Parkway. The first segment, from Pennsylvania Avenue (NY 14) north to Washington Avenue, was completed c. 1979. An extension of the highway north to Grand Central Avenue was completed by 1990 while another south to Cedar Street (NY 427) was opened to traffic c. 1999. The last section from Broadway to Cedar Street was completed c. 2002. The highway was initially designated as NY 961M, an unsigned reference route. NY 14 was realigned c. 2004 to follow the Clemens Center Parkway from Broadway to Woodlawn Avenue, where it turned west to follow Woodlawn Avenue for three blocks to College Avenue. NY 961M was subsequently truncated to consist only of the 0.20-mile (0.32 km) portion of the highway north of Woodlawn Avenue.
