  Let me guess, this study you reference was performed by the Westboro Baptist Church? You're pathetic....
• Commented on Construction Watch: 600 Block Re-Traffic
  The signage on the subway tunnel looks to be a great fit for that block. It's beyond me why the owners of Main Place Mall can't reimage themselves to account for all the Canadian traffic coming across the border. Change...
• Commented on Grisanti and Ryan announce legislation to dissolve the Public Bridge Authority
  Of course our local politicians would love to bring it under the NFTA, the water board has no more positions to fill with their friends & family....
• Commented on Construction Watch: Delaware/Virginia
  I believe 4 of them are for sale by one owner (last check asking price was well north of 1 million). The restaurant has a shared basement between two of the buildings with a service bar on one side and...
• Commented on UB Unveils Med School Design (More Images)
  Yeah, uproot the people who have been there forever and have stayed when many others wouldn't even think about coming into the neighborhood. Now that sizable development is happening we should just kick them out? There are plenty of empty...
• Commented on When do we think big picture urban design?
  Don't forget a good chunk of the 190 along the Niagara section was closed a number of years ago for resurfacing and traffic was diverted to Niagara street. It exactly wasn't the end of the world. If the city actually...
• Commented on Construction Watch: Steel Rising at Delaware and Virginia
  Curious if anyone knows what the deal is with the last row house on the right. I recall the previous restaurant owners being awful neighbors back when Chumley's was still in business. How has the city allowed that temporary chain...

  No mention here that HarborCenter also received approval today for $37 million in tax breaks for the next 10 years? Tsk tsk....
• Commented on Citizens for Regional Transit to Mourn Loss of Theater Station
  There are way to many stations above ground to begin with! Go to any other city and there is no such thing as a light rail station every 500 feet. This group clearly has their priorities all wrong....
• Commented on On the Market: 1502 Niagara Street
  RumRunner beat me to it, the smell in this area during the summer can be absolutely awful, especially during the summer after a heavy rain storm. I'm not sure how the rowers can handle the stench without passing out....
• Commented on What might Allen Street look like some day?
  Sure since that worked out so well for Main Street....
• Commented on MLK splash pad nearing completion
  What a ridiculous comment. Walked down Main Street in Williamsville and Broadway in Buffalo around 2am any night during the summer and get back to us how you feel....
• Commented on Cities: Rather Than Patronizing Young People, Give Them What They Ask For
  Not true.... in 09-10 New York City residents and businesses paid about $4.1 billion more to Albany in taxes and fees than the state returned in spending for education, health care, transit and other services. For the nearby suburban counties...
• Commented on Tappo Promises to Bring New Life to Ellicott Street
  These are the folks you need to talk to regarding historical tax credits and such. I'm sure they have some contacts in the banking/financing industry as well - http://www.clintonbrowncompany.com/...

• Commented on Senator Kennedy Calls for Senate Hearing on Future of Skyway
  What replacement bridge are you referring too? Taking traffic through Ohio street already goes over an existing bridge. The new bridge connecting the inner/outer harbor will most likely be built whether the skyway is torn down or not. Any additional...
• Commented on Senator Kennedy Calls for Senate Hearing on Future of Skyway
  You're not considering the $ to MAINTAIN the Skyway. A NYS DOT study back in 2008 showed that the cost to maintain the Skyway for the next 50 years would be north of $100 million (although that number magically seems...

• Commented on The 500 Block of Main Street needs your help!
  I'd suggest if Allpro goes through with their plans to erect a fence the 500 block association should petition the city to enforce the parking lot boundaries. As it stands today the lot is paved right into Brunk Alley (the...

• Commented on Higgins Pushes for Skyway Removal
  Yeah since it completely makes sense to be taking your eyes off the road (especially on windy days) to check out the view while driving over an elevated highway. Hey let's build elevated highways all along the waterway so the...
• Commented on Higgins Pushes for Skyway Removal
  It has been proven many times over that removing highway infrastructure DOES NOT create all sorts of mayhem and traffic delays. Plenty of other cities have removed highways that cut through cities and/or run along waterfronts and the results have...

• Commented on A Main Street Message: Artists Draw People
  Yeah I often wonder how festivals like Taste of Buffalo and Allentown Art Festival get by with all those cars on the street! Stop pretending this happened because cars don't currently exist. The building owners want the street scape upgraded...
