Half of Buffalo’s budget devoted to improvement projects

Buffalo Mayor Shane Schrader made an appearance on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse to talk about the city budget approval and the city’s capital improvement projects. 

According to the Wyoming Department of Transportation, the department will be rehabilitating 3.34 miles of I-25/I-90 and US 16/87 (Main Street) through downtown Buffalo. The project will begin at the I-25 south Buffalo Interchange and continue north through Buffalo to the I-90 North Buffalo Interchange. The scope of the project includes upgrading ADA ramps, isolated sidewalk and curb and gutter repair, minor repairs to the Clear Creek Bridge structure, replacing the culvert at Cemetery Creek and upgrading the traffic signals at Fort Street and Hart Street.

The Buffalo City Council recently approved their budget which according to Schrader, includes street improvements, repairs and other projects the city of Buffalo is hoping to complete in the near future. 

Schrader said the upcoming Main Street resurfacing project is influencing the priority list, but is not the only factor council had to consider when it came to repairs and improvements around the city.
