Niagara Street from the Scajaquada (Forest Ave) all the way to downtown is one of the best BUYs in the city of Buffalo for a business.

of course if you wanted Niagara Street to come back faster then get rid of the downtown access ramp to the Niagara Expressway by HEALTHNOW and Adams Mark letting people get to downtown via the Virginia access ramp.

of course if you wanted Niagara Street to come back faster then restore the street grid to the waterfront

of course if you wanted Niagara Street to come back faster then build the 2nd and 3d condo tower between Niagara Street and the Niagara River and allow developers the air rights to build over the rails and the Niagara Expressway.

With growth at HealthNow, Riches and Contract Pharmaceuticals as well as numerous warehouses just waiting to be converted to mixed use residential, retail, office.... the future of Niagara Street is one of the brightest in the city of Buffalo.

Whats shocking is that developers do not place a premium on waterfront development otherwise we would see more office buildings and residential towers along both sides of Niagara Street.

Of course...the Peace Bridge Plaza has the potential to kill Niagara Street!

I love that they chose this location for their new home...hopefully they will champion the cause of removing the 190 and the reconnection of this historic neighborhood to the water and the erie canal. Niagara street should be one of our greatest streets and could easily function as an at grade highway and the Peace bridge should become cars/pedestrians only.

of course of course of course....build highrieses without demand....blah blah blah
