You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 206.189.32.0/20 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:33, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 206.189.44.186.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''New York State Route&nbsp;204''' ('''NY&nbsp;204''') is an east–west [[state highway]] located just southwest of [[Rochester, New York|Rochester]] in [[Monroe County, New York]], in the United States. The western terminus of the route is at exit&nbsp;6 on [[Interstate 490 (New York)|Interstate&nbsp;490]] (I-490) in [[Gates, New York|Gates]]. Its eastern terminus is at [[Interstate 390|I-390]] exit&nbsp;18. The western portion of NY&nbsp;204 is a [[limited-access highway]] known as the '''Airport Expressway''' that indirectly connects I-490 to the [[Greater Rochester International Airport]]. The remaining part of the connection is made by an [[at-grade intersection|at-grade]] portion of NY&nbsp;204 on Chili (NY 33A) and Brooks Avenues. NY&nbsp;204 was assigned {{circa|lk=no|1965}} from I-490 to the [[Rochester, New York|Rochester city line]] in Gates, however the section between I-390 and the city line was removed by January&nbsp;2017.

==Route description==
NY&nbsp;204 begins at [[Interstate 490 (New York)|I-490]] exit&nbsp;6 in [[Gates, New York|Gates]]. The route heads southeast along the Airport Expressway, a four-lane [[limited-access highway]] through the town of Gates. No exits exist along the expressway; in fact, it only comes in contact with one highway (Pixley Road, which it passes over). After {{convert|1|mi|1}}, the highway ends at [[New York State Route 33A|NY&nbsp;33A]] (Chili Avenue). NY&nbsp;204 turns east here, joining NY&nbsp;33A northeast for {{convert|0.9|mi|1}} to the heavily commercial [[hamlet (New York)|hamlet]] of Tressmar. The routes split near Westgate Plaza, where NY&nbsp;204 veers eastward onto Brooks Avenue.<ref name="google">{{Google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=I-490+W&daddr=43.130831,-77.657568&geocode=FbAlkgIdtQ9e-w%3B&hl=en&mra=mi&mrsp=1,0&sz=17&sll=43.130736,-77.657708&sspn=0.00552,0.013926&ie=UTF8&ll=43.130712,-77.675979&spn=0.00552,0.013926&t=h&z=17 |title=overview map of NY 204 |accessdate=June 1, 2009}}</ref>

[[File:Old shield on NY 204 east.jpg|thumb|left|Old shield on NY&nbsp;204 eastbound near the [[Wegmans Food Markets|Wegmans]] offices]]
The route heads through a small residential neighborhood on the outskirts of Tressmar, which then gives way to more commercial and industrial surroundings. Along this stretch, NY&nbsp;204 passes the headquarters of [[Wegmans Food Markets]]. Past the Wegmans offices, the road dips sharply in elevation to pass under the [[Rochester and Southern Railroad]]. NY&nbsp;204 gradually returns to its prior elevation east of the railroad and connects to Airport Way, the primary access road to the [[Greater Rochester International Airport]], by way of an interchange. The highway runs along the northern edge of the airport grounds toward the [[Erie Canal]], where it meets [[Interstate 390|I-390]] at exit&nbsp;18 on the southern bank of the waterway, the eastern end of NY&nbsp;204.<ref name="google" />

==History==
The portion of Brooks Avenue from Howard Road in [[Gates, New York|Gates]] to Genesee Park Boulevard in [[Rochester, New York|Rochester]] was originally designated as part of [[New York State Route 47|NY&nbsp;47]] between 1935 and 1938.<ref>{{cite map |title=Road Map & Historical Guide – New York |publisher=[[Sun Oil Company]] |year=1935 |cartography=Rand McNally and Company}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Thibodeau |first=William A. |title=The ALA Green Book |edition=1938–39 |year=1938 |publisher=Automobile Legal Association}}</ref> When NY&nbsp;47 was rerouted to follow Beahan Road and Scottsville Road between Howard Road and Elmwood Avenue {{circa|lk=no|1962}}, the former alignment of NY&nbsp;47 on Brooks Avenue and Genesee Park Boulevard was redesignated NY&nbsp;33B.<ref>{{cite map |title=New York and Metropolitan New York |publisher=[[Sunoco]] |cartography=[[H.M.

To the west of Brooks Avenue, construction began in the mid-1960s on the Airport Expressway, a [[limited-access highway]] between [[Interstate 490 (New York)|I-490]] and [[New York State Route 33A|NY&nbsp;33A]] (Chili Avenue) near the Gates–[[Chili, New York|Chili]] town line.<ref name=nbi>[[National Bridge Inventory]], a database compiled by the [[United States Department of Transportation]] [[Federal Highway Administration]], available at www.nationalbridges.com. Accessed June 1, 2009.</ref> The highway was opened to traffic and designated as an extension of NY&nbsp;204 by 1968. In between the end of the expressway and Brooks Avenue, NY&nbsp;204 [[overlap (road)|overlap]]ped with NY&nbsp;33A. As planned, the Airport Expressway would be extended eastward along the Brooks Avenue corridor to meet the [[Rochester Outer Loop]] (NY&nbsp;47) just north of the then-[[Rochester–Monroe County Airport]].<ref name="1968map">{{cite map |title=New York |publisher=[[Esso]] |year=1968 |edition=1969–70 |cartography=[[General Drafting]]}}</ref> On January&nbsp;1, 1970, the NY&nbsp;204 designation was officially extended eastward along the proposed highway;<ref>{{cite book |url=http://www.greaternyroads.info/pdfs/state70.pdf |title=Official Description of Touring Routes in New York State |date=January 1, 1970 |author=State of New York Department of Transportation |author-link=State of New York Department of Transportation |format=PDF |accessdate=June 1, 2009}}</ref> however, in the field, NY&nbsp;204 remained routed on Chili and Brooks Avenues.<ref>{{cite map |title=New York |publisher=[[Shell Oil Company]] |cartography=H.M.
