WPCNR BUMPER TO BUMPER. July 20, 2006: Note to Motorists: Harrison Police continue to ignore the non-functioning traffic signals at the Bryant Avenue crossing over I-287. Motorists are forced in crossing over I-287 North and South bound to "see and avoid" motorists coming eastbound on the eastbound Westchester Avenue service road, and additionally to "see and avoid" Westbound traffic (often traveling at 40 miles per hour) as they turn to take I-684 northbound or proceed on Westchester Avenue west bound. WPCNR reported this dangerous situation three hours ago to Harrison Police, who have chosen not to station an officer there. The White Plains Department of Public Safety, to their credit, manned most intersections in White Plains where traffic lights were not working on Wednesday.

Harrison Police manned the Westchester Avenue site Wednesday morning when the eastbound Westchester Avenue route was closed due to a fallen tree. Since that was cleared yesterday, Harrison Police have ignored the non-working traffic light hazard. Motorists exiting White Plains via Bryant Avenue, crossing I-287 should use extreme caution in turning onto Westchester Avenue westbound when diverting to I-684 from Westchester Avenue eastbound, and from Bryant Avenue.
