New York State Route 14 (NY 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 (PA 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 (I-86) and NY 17, U.S. Route 20 (US 20) and NY 5, and the New York State Thruway (I-90). 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. While the general routing of NY 14 has not changed since 1930, it has been realigned several times within the Elmira area. When it was first assigned, it used several different city streets, including Broadway, Main Street in Elmira, Lake Street, and Main Street in Horseheads. It was gradually reconfigured into its current routing over the years, with the last change coming when the route was shifted onto most of the Clemens Center Parkway. The portion of NY 14 on Corning Road and College Avenue in Horseheads and Elmira has had several designations over the years. From 1924 to , it was part of NY 17. NY 17 was altered to follow a more easterly alignment through the area while NY 328 was extended north from Southport to Horseheads over NY 17's old alignment. NY 14 replaced NY 328 along this stretch . Route description Most of NY 14 is maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT); however, two sections of the route are locally maintained. In the Chemung County city of Elmira, the highway is maintained by the city from the junction of College and Woodlawn
