Here's another idea for the WP Common Council (CC) to ponder. The mayor has just announced that he will not seek another term. I hope that my exposing him to new ideas was a factor in his decision.
As for the colossally unimaginative CC, "complete the streets" is a concept that can baffle them, like the apes dealing with the monolith in the opening of the 1968 movie "2001: A Space Odyssey".
It's really pretty simple. CC members should get to and from downtown WP without their cars. Yes, walk or use public transportation. And eliminate those reserved parking spaces at city hall for them and for the commissioners. Only then will they experience the enormous hostility to pedestrians that is White Plains. Only then will they even consider something like "complete the streets".
Cars are the only issue in WP. Move 'em, park 'em. Park 'em, move 'em. All for the convenience, not of non-residents, but for the convenience of residents of the suburbs of WP in almost Scarsdale and almost Harrison, where the CC members live.
