3. 1.
The best way to experience Downtown New
Rochelle is by meeting our residents, shopping
in our stores, and viewing our waterfront.
The best way to do this is on foot, so signage
and safe, convenient walking downtown is
the highest priority for our transportation
system.
2.
Downtown New Rochelle has the benefit of an
incredibly busy train station. Capitalizing
on this strength can only make the area
stronger.
3.
Many people drive to Downtown New Rochelle
and the city has made significant investment
in its parking system. That’s a great match!
Let’s allow people to Park Once so we are not
overwhelmed by traffic.
4.
Downtown New Rochelle, the surrounding
neighborhoods, parks, and waterfront are all
within a 5-minute bike ride. Making it safe
and easy to cycle is imperative for a
sustainable future.
