Olmsted Parkway -- This proposal is inspired by Olmsted’s vision of connecting his earlier parks to the north. This vision replaces the elevated expressway portion of the Buffalo Skyway with an Olmsted Parkway, Olmsted Park, and real estate development on land previously occupied or made less usable by the Skyway. The Olmsted Parkway would replace the Buffalo Skyway –and in some segments also Fuhrmann Boulevard—from Ridge Road north to the Buffalo River. A new Buffalo River lift bridge would be constructed to connect the new parkway on the Outer Harbor with Main Street. (Download to expand.)
