Buffalo River Boat Tip
Of course all of the proper permitting measures were acquired so as to adhere to safety measures. And now there is a functioning walkway that leads to a small public access dock located right next to the Michigan Street bridge. I am told that in a matter of just a few days the dock will be three times the size that it is today. I also heard that this past Monday a thirty-foot boat pulled up and the entire crew walked into The Swannie praising the grassroots effort. These days each and every waterfront public access effort should be rewarded. Some day this stretch of dock will link to a boardwalk that will eventually lead all the way to Festival Park… just as it did many years ago.

Mobility Across the Ages at Buffalo Central Terminal Saturday
Back in the day before international airports and interstate highways, the Central Terminal was Buffalo’s gateway to the world. But in a turn of events scarcely imaginable to the generation that built the Terminal, passenger rail service is now a ghost of its former self—chronically late, infrequent, and boarded from sheds either miles away in Depew, or cowering hidden at the feet of the expressway downtown. Now, in a post-modern era of skyrocketing gas prices, re-urbanizati … - Today, 12:00am

That's awesome. A few weeks ago we put the kayaks in at Ohio Street and had to climb over and around log debris. This will certainly make a nice option. Plus, just a few steps away the Swannie House is a good stop for a post paddle brew.

It is great to see our waterways being used again as they were from the time of the native americans thru the mid 1900's. We must reclaim these traditional recreational places that were available to all in the past. Scajaquada creek needs to be opened from the river to Delaware Park to allow canoes and kayaks.
