Plandome Road is a road in Manhasset and the incorporated villages of Plandome, Plandome Heights, and Plandome Manor in the Town of North Hempstead, in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States. It serves as a major north–south through street across the west side of the Cow Neck Peninsula, between Northern Boulevard (NY 25A) to the south and Stonytown Road and North Plandome Road to the north, and is the main thoroughfare in downtown Manhasset.
The portion of Plandome Road within the Incorporated Village of Plandome Heights is maintained by the Nassau County Department of Public Works as unsigned County Route D92.
At its north end, Plandome Road becomes North Plandome Road, which extends north to Main Street in Port Washington.
Description
[edit]Plandome Road runs north–south through the incorporated villages of Plandome, Plandome Heights, and Plandome Manor, in addition to the heart of the unincorporated hamlet of Manhasset.[1][2]
South of Webster Avenue
[edit]Plandome Road's southern terminus is at its intersection with Northern Boulevard (NY 25A).[1] It then continues northwards, running through the middle of Manhasset's downtown, passing North Hempstead Town Hall and the Manhasset station on the Long Island Rail Road's Port Washington Branch; it intersects Park Avenue at the Manhasset Long Island Rail Road station, on the south side of the track.[1][3][4] It then crosses over the Long Island Rail Road, continuing north to the Manhasset–Plandome Heights border at Webster Avenue, at which point it continues north as County Route D92; Town maintenance and ownership ends at this location, and County ownership and maintenance (along with the county route designation) begins.[4][5][6]
This section of Plandome Road was previously owned and maintained by the county as County Route 170, prior to ownership and maintenance being transferred to the Town.[4][7]
Nassau County Route D92
[edit]
Plandome Road then continues north from Webster Avenue at the Manhasset–Plandome Heights border as Nassau County Route D92 through Plandome Heights; this section is owned and maintained by the County of Nassau.[4][6] This 0.38-mile (0.61 km) segment of Plandome Road continues north to the Plandome Heights–Plandome border at Terrace, at which point county ownership and the county route designation both end, with ownership and maintenance shifting at this point to the Village of Plandome Department of Public Works.[4][6]
Like the southern section of the road through Manhasset, this portion of Plandome Road was formerly designated as County Route 170.[7]
North of Terrace
[edit]The road continues from Terrace (at the Plandome Heights–Plandome border) through the Incorporated Village of Plandome, passing the Reconstructionist Synagogue of the North Shore and continuing north to the Plandome–Plandome Manor border.[4] At this location, ownership and maintenance shifts to the Village of Plandome Manor Department of Public Works. Just north of this point, the road veers east, continuing eastwards through the Incorporated Village of Plandome Manor to its northern terminus at its intersection with North Plandome Road and Stonytown Road.[4]
North Plandome Road
[edit]| Maintained by | Town of North Hempstead, Village of Plandome Manor |
|---|---|
| South end | Plandome and Stonytown Roads |
| North end | Fifth Avenue (becomes Main Street) |
North Plandome Road is a northern continuation of Plandome Road, traveling between Plandome Manor and Port Washington.[1][4]
North Plandome Road begins at its intersection with Plandome Road and Stonytown Road in Plandome Manor.[1][4] It then travels north-northwest and thence veering north-northeast for a short distance, hugging the shore of Leeds Pond until reaching Rock Hollow Road, which provides access to the Leeds Pond Preserve and the Science Museum of Long Island. It then briefly turns back towards the north-northwest and then turning northeast for a short distance, thence turning north and intersecting Elm Sea Lane before reaching Luquer Road.[1][4]
Just north of Luquer Road, North Plandome Road exits Plandome Manor and enters Port Washington.[1][4] It then continues north, soon intersecting Richards Road and thence continuing north to Yacht Club Drive. At Yacht Club Drive, North Plandome Road veers towards the northeast to Huntington Road, where it turns back towards the north. It soon thereafter intersects Murray Avenue and Pine Drive, and then continues north to Fifth Avenue, at which point North Plandome Road becomes Main Street, which continues north.[1][4]
The portion of North Plandome Road in Plandome Manor is owned and maintained by the Incorporated Village of Plandome Manor, while the section in Port Washington is owned and maintained by the Town of North Hempstead.[4]
Major intersections
[edit]The entire route is in Nassau County.
