The Greater Buffalo-Niagara Regional Transportation Council (GBNRTC) – part of the Scajaquada Corridor Coalition (SCC) – is pleased to host a presentation and discussion about the preferred scenario for the Scajaquada Corridor and I-198 on Tuesday, January 17, at 6pm.

For anyone that feels that the Scajaquada Corridor and I-198 are lynchpin projects that need to be critically addressed, this is an opportunity to learn about the immense possibilities that lay before us. Members and supporters of the Scajaquada Corridor Coalition believe that we are facing “… a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to remove our urban highway system” that has divided our city in two. This project presents endless opportunities to reconnect our city, restore Delaware Park and adjoining parkways, revitalize Scajaquada Creek, and revitalize key historic neighborhoods.
We’ve seen plenty of critical projects slip through our hands in the past, at the behest of transportation departments that don’t have Buffalo’s best interests in mind. It’s time for the citizens of Buffalo to demand what’s best for this city, instead of being served up the same slop that we’ve seen time and time again over the years. It’s time to make Buffalo great once more. This project can help to accomplish that mission.
