End Of The LOSP
Back in the 1930s, Robert Moses proposed and started constructing a parkway that would run along the lake shore of Lake Ontario, connecting Niagara Falls, Rochester, Oswego, and ultimately Watertown, Massena, and Malone, roughly parallel to the local routes now known as NY 104 and NY 3. Only about 35 miles of the parkway were ultimately built west of Rochester, leaving a 30 mile gap between the Robert Moses Parkway in Fort Niagara to Lakeside Beach Park in Carlton, Orleans County.
