WPCNR MEN WORKING. By the WPCNR Roving Photographer. September 15, 2004: Roadwork by the county on Westchester Avenue began today by refurbishing the potholed, pockmarked stretch of Westchester Avenue, the only Eastbound exit out of the city off the downtown. The stretch of road which has ridden like the Appian Way for six months since it emerged from the winter of 03-04 in hideous shape, was reduced to one lane while crews repaired the North Street exit.

 The only problem with this long overdue repair was it did not permit automobiles bound into the North Street area  to make a right around the work crew onto North Street, and the North Street cut right turn (illegal). slightly farther down Eastbound was not reopened to relieve the congestion. Traffic was backed up westward past the Stop N Shop as of 2:30 P.M. There was also no alternative routing being practiced or monitored. Road work was supposed to stop by 3:30 P.M., which may ease the congestion. The torture is supposed to be completed by September 24.

BRAINDEAD! COUNTY TORTURES WHITE PLAINS East End Exiters 9 A.M. TO 3:30 P.M. : Six months after the Westchester Avenue and North Street exits were pockmarked by potholes over the winter, the County began fixing them today by closing off the North Street Exit and not allowing right turns onto North Street. BRAINDEAD!  As of 2:30 P.M. Wednesday Afternoon. There was only one lane Eastbound out of the city, and Southend Patricians had to motor down to Bryant Avenue to access North Street.
