From the Buffalo News:<\/p>\n
The city will seek an estimated $40 million in federal stimulus money to reconfigure or remove two sections of the Robert Moses Parkway.<\/p>\n
Mayor Paul A. Dyster said Tuesday he believes the money could help break a \u201clogjam\u201d over the highway by moving ahead with a project on two sections city officials believe are less controversial than points north of Findlay Drive.<\/p>\n
The application will include a proposal to combine the section of the Robert Moses Parkway between Main Street and Findlay Drive with Whirlpool Street. The reconfigured scenic boulevard would run roughly where Whirlpool Street now is located, Dyster said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is something that would be a major benefit,\u201d he said. \u201cWe keep getting focused on the Robert Moses aspect of this. What we\u2019re talking about really there is the expansion of the park at the falls down to the site of the Underground Railroad crossing where we\u2019re putting in our train station.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
