White Plains Station 2 May Be Demolished

[x635 4,066]

According to a article in today's Journal News, White Plains Station 2 (which houses Engine 66 and TL-6, the Parking Garage Unit, and some special operations vehicles, as well as White Plains/Transcare EMS and some City traffic shop facilty, may be razed and relocated to accomadate a huge Capelli office/residential/retail project adjacent to the White Plains Train Station.

I wonder where they would move White Plains FD Station 2 to? It's a pretty big facilty, and I can't envision another appropriate spot in the vicinity....all of them are being developed or are going to be developed. Unless they put it out on Central Ave or Route 119.

Here's a concept. Why not build a fire station INTO one of these giant new developments that they are dropping all over White Plains. It would be make a huge PR bit for the building (although admittedly a possible negative one as well due to noise but that can be abated) and would fill one of those "community initiatives" that the municipalities like to throw in to large developments like that.

Chris..no offense being we're friends...but f@(k....that. Having people up my @ss 24/7? No thanks. Unless I can go up and hang in their workplace.

Well of course the damn thing would be private and closed off from the rest of the world - if nothing but for security and all that. But hell I'm with you: if it's whatever o'clock and I'm taking a snooze, you best be dying if you're knocking on the door. Directions? Take a right and drive till you hit water.

Perhaps Station II goes away and the apparatus is relocated to the old Station VII on Robertson Ave. Always thought that it was a long way from Ferris Ave. to the shopping center(s) on Central Ave.

BTW - WPFD Station II is on the site of the old Westchester Street Transportation bus garage.
