ROC Sabres Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Another one that doesn't live in Buffalo trashing the city.... :thumbdown: Here are some other interesting fact about Buffalo. Buffalo Historic Highlights And just for the record, I was born and raised in Dunkirk, NY til I finally went to college so I'm sure I've caught enough guff about where I'm from to tease about buffalo.

darksabre Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Really? Do you have any linkage to back that up? I don't really doubt you, but I'd be interested in reading more about that if it's indeed true. Don't forget, it's not just the cost of tearing it down...you'd have to also add the cost of replacing it, correct? It's hard to believe that all of that would be cheaper than maintaining an existing road. https://www.nysdot.gov/portal/page/portal/n...2008/2008-11-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdexchange Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 https://www.nysdot.gov/portal/page/portal/n...2008/2008-11-20 Thanks for the linkage. Interesting stuff, but unless I missed it somewhere, it doesn't say anything at all about how much it would cost to demolish it and build another highway, so it doesn't really answer my question. It does say that it would cost $26m in today's dollars to maintain and preserve the bridge for another 20 years, or $62m to refurbish it to last another 50 years. Rico7 said "the cost of keeping it far outweighs the cost of tearing it down", but the opposite would appear to be true. There is no possible way that it would cost less than $26m (or even $62m) to tear it down and replace it, so it appears you have made my point for me (unless I'm missing something). Thanks!

ExiledInIllinois Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 https://www.nysdot.gov/portal/page/portal/n...2008/2008-11-20 In 2006, approximately 45 commercial vessel crossings took place utilizing the two channels, the Buffalo River and the Buffalo Ship Canal, under the Skyway. There were more than 50 crossings made by the Fire Tug ?Cotter?, and numerous passages were made by high-mast sailboats from marinas on the Buffalo River located immediately north of the Skyway. I didn't think it was that many. Anyway, if they built a new span, they would have to build it high enough to accomadate the high profile vessels... And IMO, there is no way they are building a draw/lift span. Same thing with the Peace Bridge span over the Black Rock section... I can see why those current specs have to stay, if they didn't you would totally kill ANY chance of waterborne commerce from every utilizing BFLO's waterfront.

Ohiofan Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hey Labatt I really enjoy the pictures, although they kinda make me sad...

I look at them and can hear the echoes of those long ago crowds. I can almost feel the roar. Some powerful memories, for sure! I don't get that kind of feeling at all. To me, that building died years ago. To me, it's a pretty entertaining process. Instead of just looking like a crappy abandoned building, it finally has some character again.

Foligno's Nose Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Plus, it's an awesome view of the lake and the naval park when you're up there driving (well, in the outbound lane anyway). If you're a passenger! Please pay attention to the road when driving there. The expensive paint jobs and repairs are negatves. I believe Higgins web site has some info regarding the pros/ cons of it's existence. I think it should come down. There should be an alternative route coming through the brownfields/ Woodlawn and such into the southtowns/ Rt. 179/ thruway area. Not to get off on a tangent...but GREAT pics. Keep em' coming. Does anyone know how to get linked to that Aud 360 degree cam...or is that dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
