Andrew M. Cuomo announces local funding at Museum of Science. Robert Kirkham\/Buffalo News<\/p>\n<p>The state\u2019s new budget for the 2016-17 fiscal year revives an old idea that eventually could reunite a historic East Side neighborhood torn apart by the 1950s construction of the Kensington Expressway.<\/p>\n<p>Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo elicited a chorus of oohs and aahs during his appearance at the Buffalo Museum of Science on Wednesday as he unveiled a $6 million effort to study covering a three-quarter-mile stretch of the Kensington between Best and Ferry streets, transforming it into a tree-lined parkway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was originally the Humboldt Parkway, it was beautiful, and it was part of the Olmsted design,\u201d Cuomo said. \u201cIn the mid-\u201950s, we had a better idea and it turned out not to be a better idea, which was to move vehicles in and out of Buffalo faster by building a highway. This was not just in Buffalo; this was all over the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost places have reversed their mistakes, and that\u2019s what we are going to be doing here,\u201d the governor said to cheers from the audience.<\/p>\n<p>The state Department of Transportation has estimated that the cost could surpass $500 million to fully restore that stretch of the East Side neighborhood. A community group, Restore Our Community Coalition, has been advocating for a study since 2012.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, state transportation planners were considering the idea back in 2009. The area\u2019s transportation planning organization took initial steps then toward a $2 million study of the idea, which was proposed years before that by former State Sen. Antoine M. Thompson when he was the Masten District member of the Common Council.<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo told The Buffalo News editorial board later Wednesday that it is possible for the state to come through with significant funding for the project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese transportation projects \u2013 you bond them, they\u2019re done over time, and they\u2019re doable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo also reiterated plans to spend $30 million on turning the Scajaquada Expressway into an urban boulevard, with $54 million more to support the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority. An additional $4 million will be spent for the next phase of returning cars to Main Street in downtown Buffalo.<\/p>\n<p>An additional $4.5 million also is being invested in Niagara Falls State Park and two other state parks upstate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith these investments, Buffalo will really start to be restoring the very fabric and restoring community,\u201d Cuomo said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"articleBody clearfix\">\n<div class=\"articleP\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:100% !important;margin-top : 10px;margin-bottom : 10px;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 26px !important;margin-right : 0%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 54px !important;margin-left : 0%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 0%;margin-left : 0%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 0%;margin-left : 0%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-3{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 3%;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0%;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cheers greet Cuomo on goal of reviving Humboldt Parkway area Source:\u00a0The Buffalo News Gov.
