100 NWP Spots Up For Grabs

The MTA has acquired a new parking lot at North White Plains, and is offering spots to the 150 souls stuck on the waiting list.

The new spots are at 525 North Broadway and 50 Haarlem Ave, just north of the Hertz franchise. They become available in March.

MTA boss Peter Cannito said the railroad was making train access a priority, whether it’s bus and ferry routes to stations or station parking. “This acquisition is the latest, but not the last, example of this effort,” he said. “We also support new developments in our terroritory where people can walk to our stations.” 

Annual permits will go for $860, plus tax–hardly an issue for wealthy Armonkians.

Hertz So Good

Rented a car from Hertz over the holiday, picking up outside Boston and dropping off in North White Plains. I’d seen the Hertz building a million times from the Metro-North–you could throw your iPod with the downloaded monthly pass at it from the train–but it didn’t dawn on me that that’s where I was returning the car until I pulled in to the parking lot.

With our car still in Boston with the Missus, I was rendered rideless upon dropping off the rental. But within three minutes of dropping it off, I made my way across the street to the North White Plains station (”North White,” to locals), and was on the northbound Harlem Line train. Eight minutes later, I was off in Hawthorne for the short-ish walk home.

Good to know that anyone living on the Harlem line can use Metro-North to get to a rental car.
