Erie County Route 574 is a major thoroughfare north of
East Aurora, which is located in
Erie County. Known locally as
Jamison Road, the road supplies the hamlet of
East Elma. The road starts at
New York State Routes 16 and
78 south of the hamlet
Spring Brook and ends at Reference Route 954G in
Marilla, New York. Route 422 was decertified on
September 25,
1980 and was given to the county.
Google Maps and Yahoo Maps still list Jamison Road as Route 422. Coincidentally, the eastern terminus still shows Route 954G as New York State Route 358.
