WPCNR MR. AND MRS. AND MS. WESTCHESTER-ROCKLAND-Connecticut POLL. May 23, 2010: Recently one of the WHITE PLAINS WEEK anchors attended the lastest in planning sessions the Department of Transportation is holding on the Westchester transit corridor in connecteion with the new Tappan Zee Bridge project and establishment of a rapid transit BUS system which would feature frequent, lane dedicated bus service from Rockland County to Tarrytown Elmsford, Greenburgh, White Plains (stopping at the County Center), and then on to a stop on the Miracle Mile of corporation headquarters on Westchester Avenue, and on to Harrison and Port Chester.
What has not been discussed is, if the state puts this into place -- will the public consider using it?
Why don't you -- if you live in Rockland, and Connecticut along the Cross Westchester Expressway (I-287) corridor where the new DOT BRT is supposed to run -- in a timely manner -- tell us if you'll leave your cars and get onto the bus?
The reason we ask is I have not seen any such polls other than assurances that BRT attracts riders. What do you think, Mr. and Mrs. Rockland-Westchester-Connecticut (near I-287)?
