It’s been a long time but the Niagara Street re-construction is nearing completion. Phase 5, from Porter Ave to Hampshire Street has fresh asphalt and new curb bump outs. What’s left?
- Transfer of street lights and crossing signals to new poles, removal of old poles
- Finish “trim” work around curbs and at intersections with new asphalt
- Finish pouring concrete at all curb cuts (one is even missing the temporary gravel!)
- Striping! Parking lane stripe, bike “sharrows”, new crosswalk stripes, or permanent “Stop” line stripes still need to happen
- A few trees still need to be planted along the armory
Kudos to the City of Buffalo’s Office of Strategic Planning, Buffalo Sewer Authority, NFTA and all the other partners that made this transformation of our neighborhood happen.
