New York State Route 914T is an unsigned reference route designation for the portion of Balltown Road south of Union Street in Schenectady, New York. The route is a short two-lane highway just east of the city limits, running from NY 5 to its intersection with Union Street where NY 146 meets. East of Balltown Road, Union Street is maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation as unsigned NY 911G; however, there are no markers to this effect. Balltown Road is nearly north-south with very few turns. It eventually reaches the town of Ballston in Saratoga County.

[edit] Route description
NY 914T begins at an intersection with NY 5 in Niskayuna. The road heads north and passes to the west of Mohawk Commons Mall soon after the southern terminus. At .8 of a mile, Route 914T intersects with Schenectady County Route 9 (Consaul Road). As Route 914T passes through the urbanized areas of Schenectady County, Route 914T passes local attractions, such as Schenectady Municipal Golf Course. After intersecting with NY 7, Route 914T heads north to its northern terminus with Route 146 in Niskayuna.[2]
[edit] History
Balltown Road was given to the State of New York in the 1980 maintainence swaps with Schenectady County. Glen Ridge Road, a city road a couple miles north, was given to the state as well, along with what is now New York State Route 337.[3]
[edit] Future
Reference markers on this highway are marked "546" south of NY 7.[1] North of that, markers indicate 146, indicating that NY 146 may have once been concurrent with NY 7 through Schenectady with a split at that point.[citation needed] Although no touring route signage for New York State Route 546 exists, the number is reserved for Balltown Road.[4]
