==Transportation== The main highway to Edgemont is the [[Sprain Brook Parkway]], which is accessed at the Jackson Avenue exit at the Edgemont-[[Yonkers, New York|Yonkers]] border. The parkway is the western border of Edgemont. Some residents prefer to utilize the [[Bronx River Parkway]], located along the eastern border of Edgemont. The main north–south road through Edgemont is Central Park Avenue, often referred to as Central Avenue by residents. Central Avenue is part of [[New York State Route 100]]. This road extends from Yonkers in the south to [[Somers, New York|Somers]] in the north, by way of [[White Plains, New York|White Plains]]. There are four major east–west roads through Edgemont, notably Jackson Avenue, Ardsley Road, Mount Joy Avenue, and Underhill/Old Army Road. Ardsley Road experiences many backups through Edgemont into the village of Scarsdale, due to it being the primary east–west road between the eastern and western reaches of Westchester County in the {{convert|12|mi|adj=on}} gap between [[Interstate 287]] and the [[Cross County Parkway]]. Many residents commute to New York City on the [[Metro-North Railroad]], using either the Scarsdale or Hartsdale station. Some residents can walk or take the Bee-Line Bus #65 to Scarsdale station, although parking tends to be more readily available at the Hartsdale station. Central Avenue also has an express bus running to 5th Avenue in Manhattan, but this takes considerably longer than the Metro-North due to traffic on the [[Major Deegan Expressway]]. Bee Line Bus route 20/21 runs from the NYC subway in [[the Bronx]] north to White Plains, and route 66 runs across Ardsley Road from the village of [[Dobbs Ferry, New York|Dobbs Ferry]] to the city of [[New Rochelle, New York|New Rochelle]].
