New York State Route 36 is a state highway in the western part of New York in the United States. The highway runs in an approximate north-south direction from the state line of Pennsylvania northward into New York State, where it ends east of the Village of Brockport at New York State Route 31.

[edit] Steuben County

NY 36 begins at the New York-Pennsylvania border, where it continues into Pennsylvania to the south as Pennsylvania Route 249. Heading north from the state line in Steuben County, NY 36 travels through Troupsburg on its way to Jasper, where NY 36 meets New York State Route 417 west of town. NY 417 turns north onto NY 36 towards Jasper. At a T-intersection in the village, the two routes split, with NY 417 turning to the right (eastward) toward Corning and NY 36 making a left-hand turn to continue northward.

Southeast of Canisteo, NY 36 crosses over the Canisteo River prior to entering the village. In the center of Canisteo, NY 36 intersects the northern terminus of New York State Route 248. From NY 248 northward to Hornell, NY 36 follows a northeasterly alignment to South Hornell, where NY 36 follows a northerly routing for the remainder of its length.

In Hornell, NY 36 meets New York State Route 21 in the town center. The two routes run concurrent to one another northward along the Maple City Bypass, a divided highway built sometime after 1978 to bypass Hornell along its western edge.^[2]^[3] Roughly a half-mile south of the Interstate 86/New York State Route 17 interchange, NY 21 breaks from NY 36 and proceeds to the northeast along an unnamed road. NY 36, however, continues along the bypass to I-86 and NY 17, where the two roads interchange at exit 34 of I-86/NY 17 via a full cloverleaf interchange. Past the interchange, the divided highway comes to an end.

Northwest of Hornell in Arkport, NY 36 intersects the eastern terminus of New York State Route 961F, a reference route erroneously signed as a touring route. Formerly, this intersection hosted the southern terminus of New York State Route 70. The current southern terminus of NY 70 is five miles to the north at an intersection east of Canaseraga.

In the northwest corner of the county, NY 36 runs along the west side of Stony Brook State Park and enters the park for a brief time before emerging from the area just south of the county line, where NY 36 enters Livingston County.

[edit] Livingston County

Upon entering Livingston County, NY 36 enters Dansville, a town centered a mere two miles north of the county line. About 0.8 miles into the county, NY 36 meets the southbound entrance and exit ramps for Interstate 390 at exit 4 and gains the name Clara Barton Street. Due to the odd angle at which I-390 crosses NY 36, the northbound entrance and exit ramps are located another half-mile to the north.

NY 36 follows Clara Barton Street into Dansville itself, curving to the east and turning north onto Main Street, occupied by New York State Route 63, for two blocks before returning west on Ossian Street. A short distance before I-390 crosses over Ossian Street via an overpass, NY 36 turns off onto Dock Street, leaving Ossian Street to be occupied by New York State Route 436.

Between NY 436 and I-390 exit 6 near Groveland, NY 36 parallels I-390, remaining within a half-mile or less for the entire distance. Just outside Dansville in the shadow of the Dansville Municipal Airport, NY 36 has its second interchange with I-390 at exit 5. Eight miles to the north, NY 36 intersects the current western terminus of New York State Route 258 two miles west of Groveland, followed by I-390 exit 6, its final meeting with I-390, 0.8 miles to the north.

Now in the village of Mount Morris, NY 36 meets New York State Route 408 in the heart of the village, sharing Main Street with NY 408 for a block. North of Mt. Morris, NY 36 passes through the northern tip of Letchworth State Park, crossing the Genesee River in the process.

Farther north in the village of Leicester, NY 36 intersects with U.S. Route 20A/New York State Route 39 on the east side of town, briefly joining with the two roads to the village center, where NY 36 returns to a northward alignment. Directly to the north in Retsof, NY 36 meets NY 63 for the second time. After another six miles, NY 36 has a junction with U.S. Route 20 in the hamlet of Fraser.

Near the border with Monroe County, NY 36 enters the village of Caledonia, where the route joins with New York State Route 5. The two state routes run east into the heart of Caledonia, where NY 36 splits from NY 5 and heads into Monroe County.

Across the county line from Caledonia is the Wheatland hamlet of Mumford, where NY 36 meets the southern terminus of New York State Route 383. North of the hamlet, NY 36 passes over Interstate 90 and the New York State Thruway.

Due north of the Thruway crossing in Riga, NY 36 intersects New York State Route 33A. After joining NY 33A for a short distance to the west along Chili Avenue, NY 36 resumes its northward trek along Churchville-Riga Road.

South of Churchville, NY 36 interchanges with Interstate 490 at exit 3. In the village, NY 36 joins with New York State Route 33 on Buffalo Road for a short time to Washington Street, where NY 36 turns north once more.

In Adams Basin, west of Spencerport, NY 36 intersects the western terminus of New York State Route 531, the Spencerport Expressway, a mere 100 yards from the northern terminus of NY 36 at New York State Route 31.
