[edit] History
NY 34B was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering to an alternate route of NY 34 between Lansing and Fleming.[2] An extension of NY 34B east to the Dryden hamlet of Peruville was designated New York State Route 229 by 1935;[4] however, this designation was removed by 1947.[5] On April 1, 1980, the road from South Lansing to Peruville became a state highway once again as ownership and maintenance of the roadway was transferred from Tompkins County to New York State as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government.[6] NY 34B was then extended east to its current southern terminus at NY 38.[7]
