New York State Route 267 (NY 267) was a state highway in Erie and Genesee counties in Western New York, United States. The highway began at an intersection with NY 93 in the village of Akron in Erie County. The highway went for 7.16 miles (11.52 km) into Genesee County, terminating at NY 77 in the hamlet of Basom within the town of Alabama. Part of NY 267 in Genesee County passed through the Tonawanda Indian Reservation.
The portion of NY 267 within Erie County was assigned in the early 1930s. NY 267 was extended east to NY 77 in Basom by 1940, replacing New York State Route 77A. The Erie County segment of the route was transferred from the state of New York to Erie County in April 1980, resulting in the total removal of the NY 267 designation in August of that year.
Route description
New York State Route 267 began at an intersection with New York State Route 93 in the community of Akron, in western Erie County. The route headed eastward through downtown Akron, turning to the northeast near the Akron Airport. At the intersection with John Street, Route 267 left the community of Akron. The route continued northward, passing north of the airport and intersected with County Route 250 (Scotland Road). After that, Route 267 crossed the county line and into Genesee County.[5]
In Genesee County, Route 267 turned to the north, where a railroad began to parallel the highway. At the intersection with Shanks Road, Route 267 entered the Tonawanda Indian Reservation. At an intersection with Parker Road, the highway turned to the east, progressing across the reservation. At an intersection with Reuben Road, Route 267 turned to the north and out of the reservation. At an intersection with New Road, Route 267 turned to the east, and terminated at an intersection with New York State Route 77.[5]
History
NY 267 was assigned in the early 1930s to a routing extending from NY 93 in Akron to the Erie–Genesee county line by way of John Street and Bloomingdale Road. Farther east, the portion of Bloomingdale Road between the Tonawanda Indian Reservation and NY 77 was designated as NY 77A.[2][3] NY 77A and the remainder of Bloomingdale Road within Genesee County became an extension of NY 267 by 1940.[6] On April 1, 1980, ownership and maintenance of the portion of NY 267 within Erie County,[7] the lone state-maintained portion of the route,[citation needed] was transferred from the state of New York to Erie County as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government.[7] The NY 267 designation was removed from the entirety of its routing just over four months later on August 14, 1980.[4] The Erie County segment of the route is now County Route 573 while the Genesee County section is locally maintained.[5]
