Dewey Avenue

Dewey Avenue Street Sign Dewey Avenue is road that runs north/south and ranges from two to four lanes. The north end is at Edgemere Drive, next to Lake Ontario, and the south end is at Lyell Avenue; refer to the Dewey Ave Route Map on Google. Other roads that intersect with Dewey Avenue include Lake Ontario State Parkway/Seaway Trail, Latta Road, Ridge Road West, and Ridgeway Avenue.

Dewey is a very long street. Coming from the north, it begins in the suburb of Gates. Once in the city, it becomes a major mixed commercial-residential thoroughfare for the neighborhoods of Maplewood, Edgerton, and Lyell-Otis. Maplewood and Edgerton are divided by Driving Park Avenue. Once Dewey intersects with Emerson Street it becomes the north/south border between Edgerton and Lyell-Otis. Note that urban Dewey Avenue is not one of Rochester's best streets, although the Maplewood portion is generally better off. The south end of Dewey terminates at Lyell Avenue.
