It's nothing but phone numbers.

That's what organizations do when they do not want to communicate.

Call prompting. Yuck.

If you speak to someone, there is no "paper trail".

You can figure out email IDs but that's not how they want you to contact them.

Use the good OLD phone.

Electric Vehicles (EV): White Plains should require charging stations at apartment garages, new and old.

2,300 new parking spaces on Barker and Hamilton in three new unfinished apartment projects.

Four email messages to the Common Council since July 2022: zero replies and no apparent action. The content of the fourth message is below and links to the other messages follow. This link to the city website shows projects, usually including the number of parking spaces.  Some of the newer, larger ones are listed below.

Hello.

So, what, if anything is White Plains doing about requiring new apartment garages to supply electric vehicle charging stations? There will be thousands more parking spaces soon on Barker Avenue and Hamilton Avenue. What about the Mitchell? And Continuum I and II? And ...

Gasoline pumps would be a good idea too.

Fuel for all the new vehicles that you're bringing into downtown. Downtown is that area that you ruling house owners like to visit.
