 Dear Stakeholder,

On behalf of the City of White Plains, I want to thank those who were able to attend our 1st stakeholder meeting on September 24.  Your participation and insights were valuable to the discussions and outcomes.

We are committed to maintaining this dialogue and moving forward in a manner that aligns with ours hared objectives. We will have another stakeholder meeting early next year and look forward to seeing you all.

We greatly appreciate your assistance in outreach regarding this project. The 1st Public Meeting for the White Plains Vision Zero Action Plan is scheduled for Wednesday, October 23rd, 6:00-8:00 PM at the White Plains Public Library Auditorium (100 Martine Avenue). Attached is a social media graphic that you can share within your networks to encourage public participation. This meeting is an opportunity for you and the White Plains community to stay informed, ask questions, and engage with the City about roadway safety issues. The public input survey is also live, and we have attached a survey graphic that has links and QR codes for the survey. We encourage you to take the survey if you have not already, and share it broadly by posting it in your newsletters, bulletin boards, and social media networks. By working together, we can make our roadways a safer place for everyone.

Once again, thank you for your time, input, and continued support.

Best,
