Route Description
NY 148 begins at an intersection with NY 104 (Ridge Road) and Quaker Road in the town of Hartland, just east of the Hartland Central Cemetery. The highway proceeds north through Hartland as a two-lane rural road, maintained by Niagara County as part of CR 15. NY 148 proceeds north, running along a short residential strip before the intersection with Chapman Road. After Chapman Road, NY 148 continues to pass homes until its junction with Seaman Road, where it enters more rural surroundings. The route crosses a canal as it proceeds northward through Hartland, bending northeast into the town of Somerset at Town Line Road.
In Somerset, NY 148 remains a two-lane roadway, passing through sparsely developed areas on its way to the village of Barker. In the southern part of the community, the route meets Coleman and West Somerset roads (CR 2 and CR 3, respectively). Through Barker, NY 148 is a two-lane residential street, passing west of Barker Free Library and east of Barker High School. After Haight Road, NY 148 leaves the village, continuing north through a lightly populated area. At Arlington Road, the number of homes along NY 148 rises once again as the route enters the hamlet of Somerset, located at the junction of NY 148 and NY 18 (Lake Road). This junction serves as the northern terminus of NY 148, while CR 15 continues north through Somerset towards Lake Ontario.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
