As legislators, coming together and putting our full weight behind these projects will be the key to making this vision a reality. Restoring Olmsted’s vision will reunite neighborhoods and fix historic injustices. With the federal government poised to pass a sweeping infrastructure package in the coming months, and a President who is committed to providing funding to restore communities separated by highways, we must focus our attention on plans to remove the Scajaquada and Kensington Expressways as they currently exist. We are at a critical moment for the future of Buffalo and Western New York. "I thank Congressman Higgins and Senator Kennedy for listening to the concerns of many stakeholders and backing away from the Skyway plan. State Senator Sean Ryan released a statement supporting Higgins and Kennedy, saying: "The congressman and I and our colleagues in government are fighting to make sure that Western New York gets our fair share of resources, and gets a proportionate number of funding dollars for these major transformational projects," Kennedy (D) said. "What is not being taken into account here is making the Thruway corridor more attractive as a commuter option for folks originating out of the Southtowns," Higgins added. Higgins and Kennedy both say the Skyway doesn't meet federal safety standards, and making these changes first will enhance the overall removal project. “That's about 91,000 people that currently, despite leaving near the Outer Harbor, can't access it safely by bicycle or as a pedestrian." "Before you can replace the Skyway with anything, you have to provide a better inland alternative,” Higgins (D) said. They want New York State to improve the Thruway, eliminate tolls in Hamburg, build a new bridge on Louisiana Street crossing the Buffalo River near the 190, and create a new park and bike path at Tift Street connecting Buffalo Harbor State Park to South Buffalo neighborhoods. Brian Higgins and state Senator Tim Kennedy discussed their demands Monday. This comes as Hamburg residents voice their opposition to the removal of the bridge.A congressman and state senator now say bringing down the Skyway won't happen unless the proper foundation is laid.The saga over the future of the Buffalo Skyway continues.
