BUFFALO, NY - Over the past few months, Buffalo's waterfront has made some great improvements. Soon, one more addition can be added to the list.

The Black Rock Canal Park will soon be under construction according to the Black Rock Canal Park Steering Committee.

The announcement was made during the 2nd Annual Ride Along the Waterfront event Saturday morning. The committee has selected a company to start construction on Phase 1 of the new waterfront park.

We need your input! The Buffalo Harbor Bridge project involves environmental and engineering studies to establish a new multimodal link across the Buffalo River/City Ship Canal. Comments received from over 60 public and stakeholder meetings, along with state and federal agency input and the project purpose and need, resulted in narrowing the field of possible crossing alternatives to two locations: the foot of Main Street and the an extension of Erie Street to Fuhrmann Blvd. The “null” or “do-nothing” alterative is also being considered.

Come celebrate Pirate Fest at Evangola State Park, located on the shores of Lake Erie.
