History

In the 1950s and 1960s, a proposal was made to widen Glen Cove Avenue.[6] Action on the proposal, first made in the 1950s, was delayed until 1964. Many objected to the widening, concerned that such a project would have ruin the area's character.[6][7] Among the project's opponents were several members of the Oyster Bay Town Council, who claimed that the widening would lead to downzoning and urbanization, echoing the concerns expressed by many of the residents in the vicinity of the road.[7]

CR C91 was formerly designated as part of CR 142 and CR 183, prior to the route numbers in Nassau County being altered.[8] It, along with all of the other county routes in Nassau County, 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.[9][10]
