New York State Route 141

New York State Route 141 (NY 141) is a north–south state highway in Westchester County, New York, in the United States. It extends for 3.49 miles (5.62 km) from an interchange with NY 9A in the hamlet of Hawthorne to an intersection with NY 117 in the village of Pleasantville. The route has a very short overlap with NY 100 west of Hawthorne and connects to the southbound direction of the Taconic State Parkway by way of a partial interchange in Hawthorne. Most of NY 141 is a two-lane road that serves residential and commercial areas; however, the southwesternmost 0.2 miles (0.3 km) is a four-lane divided highway. NY 141 was established in 1930, extending from Hawthorne to Pleasantville as it does today. At one time, the route extended as far south as the hamlet of Eastview 2.5 miles (4.02 km) southwest of Hawthorne.

Famous quotes containing the words york, state and/or route:

    Imagine believing in the control of inflation by curbing the money supply! That is like deciding to stop your dog fouling the sidewalk by plugging up its rear end. It is highly unlikely to succeed, but if it does it kills the hound.
    —Michael D. Stephens. “On Sinai, There’s No Economics,” New York Times (Nov. 13, 1981)

    Anything goes in Wichita. Leave your revolvers at police headquarters and get a check.
    —For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
