2000-2016: what's the most imaginative thing done by White Plains city government?

Trick question. The answer obviously is nothing imaginative has been done by White Plains city government since it's inception.

White Plains lacks charm. This would be OK if it provided really efficient administration but it doesn't. It's both dull and charmless. Ugh.

So why live here? Manhattan is ridiculously expensive and most of us cannot afford Bronxville, Scarsdale, Armonk, etc. So here we are at the mercy of dull elected officials who are stuck with even duller city employees who are frozen in place.

Supposedly one substantive change was to be implemented this year in conjunction with the Transit Task Force. If anything happened, it's still a mystery. The obvious objective seemed to be finally changing the absurd one way mega streets into two way and to slow down traffic so that it felt less like pedestrians were walking on the side of an interstate highway. The only thing that slows down traffic are all those buses with a very low percentage of passenger seats occupied. What the heck is that about?
