EIS for Improved Station Access and Additional Commuter Parking at the North White Plains Station

MTA Metro-North Railroad and Westchester County are engaging in the preparation of a preliminary planning study and an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and other relevant regulations to analyze alternatives and evaluate potential benefits and impacts for improved station access and to increase parking availability at MTA Metro-North Railroad’s North White Plains Station. The EIS will document potential impacts of the reasonable alternatives for improved station access and parking at Metro-North’s North White Plains Station. The Federal Transit Administration will act as federal lead agency. Currently, Metro-North Railroad and Westchester County both own parking facilities on the western side of the North White Plains Station. Parking on the east side of the station is owned by both Metro-North and the White Plains Parking Authority. Current parking capacity is approximately 1,200 spaces.

Project elements to be evaluated may include improvements to existing surface parking facilities, construction of a multi-level parking structure, development of remote park and ride lots, improved station facilities (i.e., ticket office, waiting areas, rest rooms, concessions and customer services), an intermodal area, pedestrian and bicycle connections, vehicular access, and reclamation of some property of the Bronx River Parkway Reservation that is currently used for parking.
