Description

edit

Stonytown Road runs east-west through the incorporated villages of Flower Hill, Plandome, and Plandome Manor.[1] The road serves as a main west-east route through portions of all three villages, and is the main access road for the Plandome station on the Long Island Rail Road's Port Washington Branch, as well as the Plandome Post Office (located at the station).[2][3][4][5][6][7]

The road is classified as a major collector roadway by the New York State Department of Transportation and is eligible for federal aid.[1]

Additionally, the portion of Stonytown Road in Flower Hill was formerly maintained by the County of Nassau, through the Nassau County Department of Public Works.[8][9] When this segment was a county-maintained road, it was designated as Nassau County Route 143, before being re-numbered as CR E43 and then ultimately being transferred back to the Village in the 2000s.[8][9]
