Happy to report that construction is steaming ahead despite the Covid crisis. General contractor, CATCO, submitted the required safety plan and we’re seeing remarkable progress. They are working on the southern section (Busti to Albany) of Phase 3 and then will jump to Forest Avenue and work south while water line issues are getting resolved in the middle section.

Lots of curbing getting installed this past week for the buffer lane and sidewalk.

CATCO is working mightily to complete this section of the project (Busti Ave to Forest Ave) by the end of 2020. Kudos to CATCO, Watts Engineering, Buffalo Sewer Authority and City of Buffalo for keeping this ambitious project going.

No word, yet, on status of Phase 4a which goes north of Niagara Street but we’ll update when we find out!
