DOWNTOWNER: PRIORITIES FOR WHITE PLAINS “TRANSIT CENTER” CITY AND PRICE BRINCKERHOFF SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO

WPCNR THE LETTER TICKER. FEBRUARY 21, 2016:

To WPCNR:

Here are my comments and concerns about the Downtown White Plains Transit District:
After years and years of seeing my dear ones dashing between cars with impatient motorists, so we can pick them up at the station, I hope any plans for the station include safe, wide, lighted dedicated pedestrian walkways; well-thought-out lanes for traffic; and appropriate signage for train travelers and motorists.
Signage for motorists should stress being patient and respecting pedestrian right-of-way.
Also, here’s a chance to make pedestrian access to Battle Hill safe and easy, in more than one location.
It’s next to impossible to get directly and safely to the Battle Hill neighborhood from the station as a pedestrian. Try it. This neighborhood should be walkable from the station. Walkways that get covered with snow and ice and are not cleaned are not appropriate.
Thank for the opportunity to voice my opinion.
Renee Cohen
