Amherst Street Bridge Update

I received this update from the City regarding the Amherst Street Bridge guardrail that needs to be replaced. I'm not sure when this will be finished, since there is no resolution date listed as there was on the street sign update. See the red backslashes that I highlighted below. Thank you to our neighbor Jenna for pushing for this!!

Surveillance Camera Update

The City of Buffalo had installed a surveillance camera at the corner of Amherst St and Fairfield St. in the summer. When the Main Street construction was going on, the camera was taken down for a number of months. Last week the camera was just reinstalled. I have a map of where the camera is above. I will post a picture of this camera soon. For more information about the Surveillance Camera program click here.

City of Buffalo Vacant Housing Listing

One of the daily blogs I read is Fix Buffalo, a blog written by David Torke. David is a pioneer in the Midtown section of the City. Midtown is a section of the City that is north of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, bordered by E. Ferry, Jefferson Ave, E. North and Main St. Recently he added a link to the City of Buffalo vacant properties that the Buffalo News publishes. Although, there are no "official" vacant houses on Greenfield St from this website, there are two properties that are possibly vacant, 60 and 88. Please be aware of these properties and report any problems to the 311 Call and Resolution hotline or their website. If you see any criminal activity, please call the Buffalo Police. The link is on the main page.
