County Route C65 (CR C65) is a major, 0.76-mile (1.22 km) county highway located in the incorporated village of Roslyn, in Nassau County, New York.
CR C65 consists of East Broadway and a portion of Old Northern Boulevard. It is owned by Nassau County and maintained by the Nassau County Department of Public Works.




Route description


CR C64 begins at East Broadway's intersection with Main Street (CR 7A). It then continues towards the north to Old Northern Boulevard (CR D71)—although this segment is one-way southbound. North of this intersection, Old Northern Boulevard assumes the CR C65 designation, while the CR D71 designation ends. The road then continues north, through Roslyn's downtown, to Bryant Avenue (CR C26), at which point Old Northern Boulevard curves to the northeast and shortly thereafter merges into New York State Route 25A (NY 25A, Northern Boulevard), where the county ownership and route designation both terminate.




History


The East Broadway portion of CR C65 was formerly designated as CR 7C, prior to the route numbers in Nassau County being altered—while all of Old Northern Boulevard—including the portion presently designated as part of CR C65—was formerly designated as CR 25A. Like all other county routes in Nassau County, what is now CR C65 became unsigned in the 1970s, when Nassau County officials opted to remove the signs as opposed to allocating the funds for replacing them with new ones that met the latest federal design standards and requirements, as per the federal government's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The route numbers for the road were subsequently altered.
Additionally, all of Old Northern Boulevard was part of NY 25A until 1949, when it was bypassed with the construction and opening of the William Cullen Bryant Viaduct.
In 1988, Roslyn's then mayor, Joel Pasnick, proposed making East Broadway a two-way street. The proposal was quickly called off after many in the community voiced concerns over the plan, citing East Broadway's narrow width and related safety concerns.
Several landmarks, including many listed on the National Register of Historic Places, are located along CR C65 – such as the Roslyn National Bank and Trust Company Building, the Smith–Valentine–Wood House, the Willet Titus House, and the old Rescue Hook & Ladder Company No. 1 Firehouse.
