reverse commute to White Plains? (New York, Hudson: construction, to live, car)

[adrew]

Can anyone offer some advice/tips on what the drive would be like from the upper west side to White Plains? I just took a new position in White Plains but would like to live on the UWS. Is the Henry Hudson out of the city during rush hour pretty light? Vice versa?

ANY info would be helpful. THANKS.

I know someone who commutes by car from the Upper West Side to the White Plains area. As far as I know, she does not mind the commute. I think she once described it at easy.

I once commuted from Brooklyn to Staten Island, in the direction opposite that of rush hour traffic. I rarely had a problem with traffic. Traffic problems, when they did occur, were usually due to factors other than rush hour congestion, e.g. accidents, construction, etc.

Of course, roads in New York are very frequently congested, generally, and especially during rush hours. Even tertiary streets in Brooklyn can be congested.

I also did a reverse commute...but not to Westchester. Occasionally I have to go to our Ct. offices and I have to confess that the inbound traffic in the late afternoon can be much heavier that you'd otherwise anticipate. I have no idea where all these people are going!
