Why this region matters now
This region is still the clearest central New York Route 20 stretch, but it no longer stands alone. The newer Canandaigua–Seneca Falls–Auburn layer gives Auburn a stronger western connector, and this cleanup makes the eastern side of the stretch point more clearly toward Sharon Springs and Duanesburg. That makes the region feel less isolated and more integrated into the broader New York corridor.
