Public comments are now being taken for one of the more controversial transportation projects in the region. The Greater Buffalo-Niagara Regional Transportation Council (GBNRTC), the Metropolitan Planning Organization for Erie and Niagara Counties, is proposing to add the Main-Humboldt-Kensington intersection project to the 2017-2021 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

GBNRTC writes, “The identified intersection is in need of improvements that promote safety and improve operating conditions.This project will improve the intersection to provide vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians with safer conditions. Work will include:

  • Improving geometric and operating deficiencies that contribute to accidents at the identified intersection
  • Using effective reduction measures to improve safety and operating conditions

“Total project cost will be $1.275M using matched federal HSIP funds transferred from PINs 5760.76 and 5760.77.  Fiscal constraint is maintained. The project will have a let date of 8/18.”

“Public comments will be received through October 10, 2017.”
