The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm warning for our area for Wednesday, March 21st. The storm is expected to bring with it wind gusts and heavy snow, indicating the potential for power outages.
Con Ed customers can report a power outage or service problems and view service restoration information online at www.coned.com as well as on their mobile device or by calling 1-800-75-coned.
Optimum and Verizon offer customers the option of forwarding calls from their home phone to their cell phone and the ability to check voice mail remotely, ensuring that you do not miss important calls or calls from the city with storm information. Go to the Optimum or Verizon website for details on how to do this. You may also register your cell phone number and/or email with our Community Notification System (Code Red), by clicking this link.
The City’s Department of Public Works crews will be working through the storm to clear roads as quickly and completely as possible. In order to enable them to do their job it is important that vehicles not be left parked on the street overnight.
As a courtesy, the City of White Plains is offering free parking to White Plains residents for vehicles registered to addresses within the City of White Plains in the Lexington-Grove East & West parking garages (also known as the Galleria), Hamilton-Main Garage, and Chester-Maple Garage starting at 11:00 AM Wednesday, March 21st through 8:00 AM Thursday, March 22nd. All other garages, lots and on street parking will remain subject to normal enforcement. There will be strict enforcement of the City’s ban on overnight on-street parking as vehicles left on the street impair our ability to clear snow and can create hazardous conditions.
Thank you for your cooperation and stay safe.
