Commented on High Speed Rail: We Want It!
Buffalo is a wonderful city and has many benefits with our without HSR. Perhaps another way to look at it is "Does HSR differentiate Buffalo from other regions/cities"? Well, if the only HSR rail line built in the US is...

It costs HUNDREDS of dollars to take Acela from DC to NYC. People are willing to pay this because their jobs require them to commute. Of course there are many jobs in NYC and Washington so an expensive train makes...

Al, "Transportation and job creation have gone hand in hand since the National Road, Erie Canal, the Transcontinental Railroad, and the Eisenhower Interstate." What you say is true, but in the end, Buffalo ended up losing out to locations that...
Commented on High Speed Rail: We Want It!
High Speed Rail sounds exciting, but I don't see how this helps Buffalo. To help Buffalo, we need people to travel to Buffalo, move to Buffalo, base their company in Buffalo. High speed rail seems to allow people in WNY...
Commented on Now and Then: 43 Court Street
The convention center is an eyesore, but if you want people to come downtown, then you need places like the convention center to draw them in. I haven't reviewed how well they are doing, but before we tear down the...

To all those who are frustrated, I get it. That being said, I live in DC now and would love to walk the streets of Buffalo after a snow storm. Buffalo is far from perfect, but it's a wonderful place....

Crisa commented on High Speed Rail: We Want It!
It's interesting that comments online, though thoughtful and insightful about the future of true, continent-wide rapid transit aren't reaching far enough into the future. ~~~~~ It is much easier to see the more distant future on a personal level by having lived a longer time in the past--or at least having paid attention to those who were much older. ~~~~~ My grandmother, who died 40 years ago and who lived into her 80s, was born before the age of that newfangled gadget that was alleged to never take hold--the automobile--conceived in a time of limitless gasoline. ~~~~~ What I am...

Ever flown on an airplane Crisa? You better hope you were going faster than 100mph. Plus, I don't think they have 80 year olds in mind for this project as their target demographic....

I would be all for a ban on all 80+ year olds from the internet in general. All they do is write insanely long and mind numbing comments 12 hours a day on totally unrelated topics....
Exchange commented on High Speed Rail: We Want It!
It looks like this plan will be approved in the near future, and my hope is that we get our ducks in a row and construct a signature, multi-modal station downtown. It would be great if it had three stops in WNY: the Buffalo/Niagara International Airport (so that travelers from the Albany and Syracuse area could take advantage of our airline options and so that out-of-towners could fly into BNIA and get to other destinations in NYS); Downtown Buffalo (with an adjacent secure parking structure, possibly in or near the cobblestone district or Canal Side where land is available for...
