New York State Route 28B
former highway in New York
New York State Route 28B (NY 28B) was a state highway in Oneida County, New York, in the United States. The route served as a connector between NY 287 (now NY 365) in the village of Prospect and NY 12 and NY 28 in the village of Remsen. It was assigned in 1935 and removed in the mid-1960s, at which time most of the route became New York State Route 920V, an unsigned reference route. The alignment of NY 28B was originally part of legislative Route 26 and later Route 25 in the early 20th century.
Route description
NY 28B began at an intersection with NY 287 (now mostly part of NY 365) at Church Street in the village of Prospect. The route headed to the northwest, following State Street through the northern portion of the village. At the northern village line, the amount of development along the route decreased substantially as it proceeded through the town of Trenton as Prospect Road. NY 28B continued northwest for 1 mile (1.6 km) on a linear northwesterly routing through a rural section of Trenton to the northern town line, where it crossed into the town of Remsen. The route continued on this path for another 0.25 miles (0.40 km) before turning towards the west and paralleling the town line into the village of Remsen.
Within Remsen, NY 28B became known as Prospect Street as it headed westward for three blocks through the residential southeastern part of the village.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
