Hot issues: Noise, parking (scanning, ticketing, etc.) , pedestrian safety, child safety (bus stops, crosswalks, playgrounds etc.), urban renewal projects and redevelopment (East Post Road corridor), entertainment district/ cabarets, open-containers (alcohol)

Our goals will be to have a voice in our awesome city and neighborhood; creating a neighborhood crime watch, creating fun activities and events [co-sponsored by neighborhood restaurants and companies], improving our sidewalks; improving our parks; creating lecture series with downtown colleges; creating more arts and art events downtown; noise issues; addressing the county in skirting Megan's Law, housing s-x offenders [in any secure site] THEN dropping them off unsupervised in our neighborhood (within blocks of downtown schools and daycare centers); and having a parking czar to help all of us implement the best parking strategies.

The White Plains Downtown Residents Association is committed to making our neighborhood even more vibrant, more safe, and more enjoyable while celebrating our diversity, our common interests, and our incredible potential to become the best residents association in New York State
