Topics getting the most attention in White Plains public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Electric shuttle service for downtown and close-in neighborhoods
White Plains is close to finalizing a three-year NYSERDA grant (about $2.3 million) for a free, on-demand electric shuttle connecting downtown with close-in neighborhoods like Battle Hill and Ferris Avenue. Rides are free the first year, then could cost up to $5, and a public hearing on the enabling law is expected in November.
Bus stop sidewalk accessibility
A Park View Court resident says the sidewalk in front of his house is narrow, uneven and in disrepair, forcing a disabled neighbor to cross the street to find a usable path; his ADA funding records request was denied.
