Public Information Meeting


Cars Sharing Main Street Preliminary Engineering Design Tuesday, August 8th, The Market Arcade Film and Arts Center (MAFAC) Lobby

639 Main Street
4 to 8 PM Open House

The City of Buffalo, and project partners NFTA and Buffalo Place, will host the Open House. The Consulting Engineering Team headed by DiDonato Associates, including URS, Foit-Albert Associates and Matthews-Neilson Landscape Architects will present the results of a ten-month design effort to return vehicular traffic to Main Street.

The Open House will introduce a new tool for illustrating the Cars Sharing Main Street project to the public. The University of Buffalo Center for Computational Research, (CCR) has developed a realistic 3D animated model of Main Street. The model will be used at the Open House to provide a real time view of the interaction of Main Street traffic, Metro Rail and pedestrians during the highest traffic volume of the day. Future phases of Cars Sharing Main Street final design will use the model to present detailed landscaping and street amenities for public review and presentation.

In addition to the 3D model, design work to be displayed includes: the Main Street layout of relocated catenary poles, roadway, bike lanes, Metro stations and parking areas; redesigned Metro Station Shelters; and the landscape treatment for the Fountain Plaza and Theatre District blocks.

Open House displays will be staffed by project team members and consultants, who will be available to answer questions throughout the evening and to discuss the design development decisions that were made to identify a realistic, buildable project. Comments will be requested from the public to guide future stages of final design.

For further information on the Open House contact Mr. Daniel Kreuz, City Engineer, at 851-5631 or, dkreuz@city-buffalo.com.
