Transit District scenarios A, B, C. Two demolish parking garage! Yippie!

Transmania unchained!

An interpretation of public presentation by White Plains planning commissioner Chris Gomez Sept. 28, 2016. Derived from video at transitdistrict.com

There is also PowerPoint stuff: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByAWC5bf9-kYRVNoWXNWN056QzA/view

Four WP city owned parcels east of train station:
- firehouse
- parking garage
- station lot (drop off/pick up)
- Bronx Street lot

Long Term Scenarios:
A:
- firehouse: no change
- parking garage: no change
- station lot (drop off/pick up): buildings
- Bronx Street lot: park

B:
- firehouse: building on south edge?
- parking garage: demolish garage; buildings
- station lot (drop off/pick up): park
- Bronx Street lot: buildings

Babbling about new "bus rapid transit" something. Argh.

C:
- firehouse: building on south edge?
- parking garage: demolish garage; buildings
- station lot (drop off/pick up): park and building
- Bronx Street lot: buildings
______________

Add parking on firehouse lot in B and C?


There are two private things immediately east, which were not mentioned:
- parking garage with the infamous county Bee-Line bus terminal on street level
- surface level parking lot north of Hamilton Avenue.

East of the private surface parking is church property that could be developed.

Demolition of the train station parking garage has been recommended here previously, so it's encouraging that demolition is being considered.

Also welcome was there was no mention of a new train station building. Wasting valuable space on such a relic would be foolish.
