The policy brief summarizes the history of transportation infrastructure in Buffalo and some of the thinking behind its development. It sheds light on some of the positive and negative impacts of urban expressways in Buffalo and provides suggestions for how our city should think about moving forward, avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, and repair some of the harms caused.

Special thanks to Justin Booth of GObike Buffalo and David Turkon of Ithaca College for sharing their thoughts and insights.
