Talk Parking, Traffic & Transportation with Commissioners Larson & Soyk

The June Meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 14, 2016 at 7:30 pm at Education House, 5 Homeside Lane, White Plains, NY. Our guests will be Parking & Traffic Commissioner John Larson and Thomas Soyk, the Deputy Commissioner and City Transportation Engineer.

Irony abounds. Maybe the commissioners and attendees will arrive via Bee-Line county buses, which have very few passengers, if any, when traveling through downtown White Plains. Of course, the CNA (Council of Neighborhood Associations) wouldn't be caught dead conducting a meeting downtown. People who, you know, live downtown might show up.

Those downtown people might even express views that differ from the "We came over on the Mayflower" bunch who have run White Plains for at least half of its 100 official years.

Those of us who live in downtown apartments are too dumb and lazy to exert any influence over commissioner types so we get what we deserve: quality of life policies such as MEGA buses roaring along residential streets downtown, which provide service to very few White Plains residents. The buses also park pretty much wherever they want ... downtown. There probably will not be any buses anywhere near that upcoming CNA meeting.

Attendees will undoubtedly lobby for more high speed road access to newer parking garages at the Transmania center, aka, train station with its adjacent bus depots, 8th Avenue Port Authority style.
