Buffalo Council Accepts Sidewalk Study

The Buffalo City Council approved and accepted the ADA Sidewalk Study for the Main Street Planning Project during their meeting this week.

Mayor Shane Schrader explained that the purpose of the report is to inventory and address current pedestrian facilities within the City of Buffalo and to prioritize future construction of pedestrian travel-ways within the city limits, as well as connect existing city properties and sidewalk/pedestrian networks.

According to the report, the city allocated $90,000 for the study to identify long and short-term solutions to pedestrian infrastructure to improvee safety and accessibility throughout the city.

The study has been conducted in preparation for the WYDOT/City of Buffalo Main Street Reconstruction project in 2024, and to be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant with future projects.

The study was compiled by Nelson Engineering of Buffalo.
