2023 Snow Roll – Snow Removal Ride

Agents for Advocacy, founded in 2022 by Mark Talley to support the victims of the Tops massacre, has now shifted its focus to supporting Buffalo’s blizzard victims.

Lorna Peterson launched a Change.org petition, calling for the City to implement a municipal sidewalk snow removal program (sign petition).

Fillmore District Council Member Mitch Nowakowski recently called for Mayor Brown to hire a full time Emergency Manager, “whose sole role is to address all of these problems (related to the recent blizzard) and ensure we are prepared for future emergencies.”

As more and more people come forward, to rally around comprehensive and strategic snow removal and recovery guidelines, it is clear that the time has come for implementing significant and sweeping changes. After all, if residents living in cities such as Rochester and Syracuse can benefit from municipal snow removal programs, then so can Buffalo.

Slow Roll Buffalo’s mission is to provide inclusive community experiences that connect people, places, and causes by bicycle.

It’s going to take a lot more people to call for these significant changes, which is why Slow Roll Buffalo is hosting a Snow Removal Ride on Saturday, January 28. Along with a community ride, the event intends to raise awareness for the need for better snow removal and recovery efforts.

The inaugural Snow Roll – Snow Removal Ride is being held at Imperial Pizza in South Buffalo. The ride will include three different three-mile loops for folks new to winter riding, with two pitstops back to Imperial Pizza to warm up during the ten mile roundtrip ride.

Agents for Advocacy will be hosting a donation drive on that day.

Also, be sure to check out the upcoming event Slow Read: City of My Heart, featuring community activist Mark Goldman and his relatively new book that discusses his time in Buffalo (1967-2020).

The event takes place on Saturday, January 14 (1pm) at Community Beer Works – 520 7th Street.
