DOT: Route 198 Plan Balances Community Needs



Buffalo, NY - As the planning process for the Scajaquada Expressway project winds down, the New York State DOT feels they have done the best they can in turning Route 198 into an urban boulevard.
New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Matthew Driscoll puts it this way: "We really think it represents what people want...which is an urban boulevard at reduced speed in a parking-like setting."

That's his summary of the Rt. 198 - Scajaquada reconstruction project proposal after ten years of planning and more than 50 public meetings like the one Tuesday night at the Buffalo State Campus, according to the DOT.
