- Brooks takes Route 204 out of the city to the west. It intersects with ["Interstate 390" I-390] and partially overlaps the ["Airport Expressway"].	+ Brooks takes Route 204 out of the city to the west. It intersects with ["Interstate 390" I-390] and partially overlaps the ["Airport Expressway"]. For much of its length, the road is actually very residential, but it intersects with a number of commercial corridors. + + At its eastern terminus, you find the ["Brooks Landing Project"], which is actually a series of buildings being developed semi-independently around the Brooks-Genesee intersection and ["Brooks Auto Parts & Repairs"]. The pedestrian footbridge to the ["University of Rochester"] is immediately accessible from here. Nearby, but still on Brooks, are Episcopalian and Baptist churches. + + Close to the city limit, at the intersection with Thurston Road, is a ["RiteAid"] pharmacy, an exterminator, a security firm, a bar and some women's apparel shops.

Proceeding westward, you will find ["True North Rochester Preparatory Charter School"] on your right, sharing a parking lot with yet another church. + + On the city limit, where Brooks Avenue intersects with Genesee Park Boulevard, you will find ["Gas Stations" Gil Tegg's Mobil Mart], one of the few sources of E85 in Rochester. You will also find the Buckeye Terminal (from whence much of the area's gasoline comes) and the ["Holiday Inn - Airport"] in close proximity. + + Continuing westward is the intersection with I-390 (exits 18A and 18B) on both your left and right, followed by the ["Greater Rochester International Airport"] which you enter from the right and center lanes, not far past the 24-hour Sunoco gas station. If you stay left, the center lane narrows and the road becomes two lanes wide again as you reach the underpass formed by the airport entrance. This underpass rarely floods, but the rapid narrowing, steep (but short) hill and total lack of a curb sometimes catches drivers new to the area by surprise. + + ["Wegmans"] corporate offices will now be on your right.

Turning left provides access to ["Interstate 490" I-490] via the Airport Expressway, as well as a series of outlying communities, including ["Gates"] and ["Chili"].
