Greetings RRA Neighbors,
Below is information pertaining to tomorrow nights One White Plains Comprehensive Plan Public Workshop.
It is important that RRA members participate in workshops like these to ensure that our vision for our city and neighborhood are incorporated into the overall city plan. Below the flyer is our RRA Vision Plan which has been communicated to the city on multiple occasions, to include public workshops like this one. Please consider participating in this event and future events to ensure the safety and character of our beautiful neighborhood.
RRA Vision Statement for Comprehensive Plan
-
Our vision for the Rosedale Residential Association (RRA) to maintain and improve upon the character of our low-density neighborhood so that we can continue to flourish as one of White Plains’ premier residential communities. In our endeavor, we would like to address Upper and Lower Rosedale’s needs while supporting the visions of our fellow adjacent neighborhoods and the city overall.
-
We envision a neighborhood that is friendly to all residents and visitors. We would like to see welcome signs on the book ends of Rosedale to receive residents, guests, and people who are just passing through our neighborhood.
-
We envision a neighborhood that has a playground for all of our RRA residents that have children. We are one of the only neighborhoods in WP that does not have its own playground.
-
We envision a neighborhood that is safe for pedestrians and encourages walking and riding bikes. A neighborhood that ensures the safety of its residents and neighboring associations, especially those that are in high traffic areas near schools and places of business. We would need an assessment on narrow streets to determine if new traffic signs or speed limits are necessary, as well as areas that may require new sidewalks to be built.
-
We envision a neighborhood that has 24 hr. a day, 7 days a week fire over-watch that is fully manned to protect the South End communities and the city as a whole.
-
We envision improved road maintenance and storm drain modernization (grates) because our neighborhood is a de facto bypass to traffic from the Hutchinson River Parkway, and is in close proximity to Mamaroneck Avenue, the main thoroughfare for White Plains
-
We envision all utility power lines and cable lines being buried underground to avoid widespread power outages that are likely to increase as a result of climate change weather patterns.
-
We envision a neighborhood that is a part of the planning and decision-making for all existing and new development of any residential or office buildings that are a part of, or adjacent to our neighborhood.
