the mileage of any road previously designated as a state highway and later included as part of a legislative route would be reassigned to another highway, allowing the West Leyden–Boonville road to become state-maintained. The plan fell through when the legislature ultimately adopted another version of the state highway map that did not include the West Leyden–Boonville road. In 1923, Boonville Town Supervisor Clarence R. Sperry visited Albany to lobby Commissioner Greene and the state legislature to add the road to the state highway system. Although Greene still favored the inclusion of the highway, the road had still not been added to the state highway system by 1926. Despite this fact, the road was designated as NY 294 as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. It was finally accepted by the state and rebuilt to state highway standards by 1932.
