The skyway: to go, or not to go?

I was shocked that they found a state employee on a weekend!

THEY DON'T GET PAID BY HOURS and will be off on Monday and Tuesday; or better, will get paid double for working on weekends.

Enclosed walking bridge?? That is a tall, TALL slope to climb on foot. You'd be walking a very long way from no-place to no-place-else, besides.

the view from Skyway is breathtaking. Unfortunately, it's closed tonight.

..as were parts of the Thruway, Expressways and streets including Ridge Road and others.

I hope that everyone is safe and sound today. I'm feeling good because I got to work. and home again, both Saturday and Sunday.

Skyway is still closed. Time to tear it down.

You want to foot the bill? And...pay for a new way across the river?

Please try to come up with a decent solution to any of these problems presented on this board, huh?

An at grade portion of route 5 was closed all morning. We should elevate the whole thing.

It saves time and money to Southtowns commuter to get to Buffalo. Have you seen the traffic? Did you count cars every morning?
Demolishing Skyway is like shutting down Truway from Amherst to downtown Buffalo. What would northtown residents say who work in Buffalo say?

Already did that months ago. It will cost more not to tear it down.

Maybe we shouldn't live so damn far from work?

And what about the 190 and 290? plus the 198 there are a lot of options for the northtowns getting into the city.

[Jim Ostrowski]

I believe the city has been gravely damaged by expressways. I would get rid of the Skyway, 33 and 198, keep the 190 for now (make Genesee into an arterial for the Airport--would help revive that depressed area by bringing new traffic for restaurants and shops). That whole neighborhood near Canisius could be revived by re-creating the Humboldt Parkway.

[zanna vaida]

and I would relocate the Erie County, State and federal buildings to Sountowns. How this proposal sound to you, Mr. Ostrowski, the north buffalo resident?
