Lake America  🗺️

About Lake America ....

I don't like the idea of renaming the LOSP (Lake Ontario State Parkway) to LASP (Lake America State Parkway), though maybe the renaming would come with federal funding to fix the LOSP.
The western section of the parkway was so terribly rough when I drove it 20 years ago, and I've heard they've not paved since then, instead just erecting traffic cones around the more buckled part of lanes and putting Rough Road 30 MPH signs along.

More about Lake Ontario...

Lake Ontario (French: Lac Ontario) is one of the five Great Lakes of North America. It is bounded on the north and southwest by the Canadian province of Ontario, and on the south and east by the American state of New York. Ontario, Canada's most populous province, was named for the lake. In the Wyandot (Huron) language, ontarío means “Lake of Shining Waters”. It is the last in the Great Lakes chain and serves as the outlet to the Atlantic Ocean via the St. Lawrence River. Lake Ontario is also the only one of the five Great Lakes not to share a coast with the state of Michigan.
