Hi all, This came in through [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> - is there someone local to Buffalo NY who would want to get in touch with this user and initiate any map updates that may be necessary?
> Dear Open Maps, > > We wanted to inform you of some current and upcoming changes to our local > traffic patterns to hopefully improve the safety and efficiency of travel in > our community. > > 1) As of May, 2015, the speed limit on NYS Route 198 (Scajaquada > Expressway) was permanently lowered to 30 MPH. It is in the process of being > transformed to an urban boulevard. While the final design is not complete, > the following parameters are set: The roadway will maintain the 30 MPH, have > two lanes in each direction and at grade, signalized intersections. > > 2) During the 2009 reconstruction of NYS Route 5 (Main Street), between > Baily Avenue and Humboldt Pkwy the traffic lights were incorrectly timed to > favor side streets instead of the mainline traffic. This has resulted in > congestion and longer travel times along that section of the route. The City > of Buffalo’s Department of Public Works, Parks & Streets is in the process of > correcting this timing issue. The work is scheduled to be completed by this > spring. This improvement should reduce trips along this route by several > minutes. > > 3) During the summer of 2016, Parkside Avenue between Amherst Street and > NYS Route 198 (Scajaquada Expressway) will be under construction. The City of > Buffalo’s Department of Public Works, Parks & Streets will be installing > signs at the outskirts of this travel corridor to help traffic reroute in a > manner that avoids residential streets. The project will transform the 4 lane > avenue to a two lane avenue with a central turning lane and is scheduled to > be complete by the winter of 2016. > > > Sincerely, > > Dan Cadzow, Parkside Community Association’s Traffic Committee > >
