From there, it travels northwest, soon intersecting Jerusalem Road (CR 181), entering East Meadow.

[2][3][4][5] The entirety of CR C69 is classified as a minor arterial road by the New York State Department of Transportation.

[6][7][8] The name of the road was changed to East Meadow Avenue in 1982, to distinguish it from, and avoid potential confusion with, Newbridge Road – East Meadow Avenue's southern terminus.
