Creek Bend Overlook offers a place to reflect

Scajaquada ceased to be a "creek" long ago; it is only a sewage overflow, today. Looking over polluted "water" toward a high-speed expressway is neither peaceful nor pleasant , at least for myself.

Does anyone else know that the OTHER side of the creek was once "Scajaquada Parkway", a tree-lined drive which extended Delaware Park to Grant Street? Let's restore that, after finding a way to make the creek less filthy.

Something is being done though, and that should be greatly appreciated. As for the "Scajaquada Parkway", I did not know that, but if you're talking about the road that's basically Buff State property, I don't know if that'll ever be done, because you know Buff State reaches out to its surrounding community so well. As for keeping the Creek clean, only rain water should be going down the sewer openings along Amherst st. and whatever other streets that are connected to that same pipeline. Keep it free of gatorade bottles, cigarettes, and cigarette cartons. Yes there are litter bugs, but if you see something, you're meant to do something. Eventually they'll learn, when something happens in their life.

We could also look into maybe putting some sort of aquatic life in there that eats up the algae or sewage, and have it in a certain area so they don't get free into the Niagara river or anyhwhere else. Or ask the Mayor what he's going to be using in Hoyt Lake to keep the odors from smelling up that part of Delaware Park. But in his press conference, I don't even think he was so sure what he was putting in there, it just sounded good, hopefully it'll smell better too.
