After reading campaign literature by Mayor Tom Roach extolling his part in getting regional buses to run into Westchester, it finally dawned on me why the mayor and other Common Council members seem so oblivious to downtown being inundated with more and more buses.
The city can't decease the number of cars flooding White Plains every day, so it needed more traffic lanes for the useless buses that inflate the egos of city officials about the imagined importance of White Plains as a destination for the buses, rather than White Plains merely being a convenient transfer point. So rather than taking common sense action against the bus companies, the city lets the buses spread out onto parallel residential streets near totally non-residential Hamilton Ave:
Barker Avenue
Park Avenue.
Nice city planning.
