[edit] Route description

Route 357 begins at NY 7 in the Otsego County village of Unadilla. As it exits Unadilla to the east, it immediately crosses the Susquehanna River and enters Delaware County.[3] Officially, only 210 feet (64 m) of NY 357's 14.06-mile (22.63 km) long routing is located within Otsego County.[1] Now in the town of Sidney, NY 357 intersects Interstate 88 at exit 11 as it parallels Ouleout Creek eastward through the town. At the Sidney-Franklin town line, the route travels just south of the East Sidney Lake Recreation Area, a park surrounding the man-made East Sidney Lake. In Franklin, the route intersects with County Route 21, a connector leading south to Walton, as it turns north to serve the village of Franklin. From here, NY 357 progresses northeastward along the Ouleout Creek and intersects County Route 14 in the hamlet of Leonta before reaching its eastern terminus at NY 28 in an area known as North Franklin.[3]

[edit] History

All of NY 357 was originally designated as part of New York State Route 7B as part of the 1930 renumbering.[4] North of North Franklin, NY 7B continued to NY 7 in Oneonta by way of an overlap with NY 28.[citation needed] On January 1, 1970, NY 7B was removed from the state highway system. The portion of the route between Unadilla and North Franklin was then renumbered to NY 357.[2]
