Route description
PA 505 is a continuation of the Perry Highway from PA 97 in Millcreek Township. In the suburbs of the city of Erie, PA 505 runs northward as Perry Highway (named for Oliver Hazard Perry, hero of the Battle of Lake Erie) and Glenwood Park Avenue through residential areas, between PA 97 and US 19. In Glenwood Park, the route passes by the Erie Zoo, running towards downtown Erie. North of the park, the highway runs through residential areas and ends in the downtown district of the city, at an intersection with US 20.[2]
