City of Lights: Re-View Our Waterfront -- The concept for Skyway and Route 5 Corridor here is “actually quite simple; remove the barriers separating the City of Buffalo from its waterfront.” Removal of the Skyway (Church Street to Prime Street) along with the access ramps makes 12 acres available for development in downtown and Canalside. The Skyway bridge over the Buffalo River would remain and be re-purposed as “Skyway Park,” an overlook/trail and sculptural element. South of the bridge, the Skyway’s elevated expressway section would be removed, and the land redeveloped for mixed uses. (Download to expand.)
