WPCNR WHITE PLAINS CONFIDENTIAL. Special From a White Plains CitizeNetReporter. December 18, 2006: In an earlier story today, WPCNR broke the glorious news that the Scrooges of the White Plains Department of Parking have declared a Holiday Truce in their never-ending vigilance that White Plains "parkers" do not exceed their time limits at on street parking meters. The city had declared "Free Parking through Christmas" on certain on-street parking meters along Mamaroneck Avenue and East Post Road, using red bags saying "Happy Holidays from the City of White Plains."
The Free Spaces are denoted by Red meter bags, however, a WPCNR "street reporter" says there are other "bagged meters" which say "No Parking" -- such as on Martine Avenue adjacent the City Center.
The sudden jump in traffic in downtown today after 2 P.M. was very noticeable thanks to the CitizeNetReporter's breaking of the "Free Parking Story" . WPCNR advises our worldwide and tri-state readers to be careful to read the "Bagged" meter space they park at to make sure it is indeed "Free Parking!"
