As was demonstrated in early 20th century Buffalo, well-
established landscape infrastructure will attract development,
increase property values, and offer incentives for young
professionals to live and work in Buffalo.

The waterfront is a valuable resource that should be carefully

designed as a resilient landscape system that completes the current
Olmsted green system. This rejuvenated waterfront will set the
CITY foundation for Buffalo's future growth.

03 / FEASIBILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
Urban Redevelopment Toolkit / Pilot Projects Feasibility
Our Urban Redevelopment Toolkits allows for flexible implementation of the corridor vision that responds to changing site dynamics and economics conditions.
Successful funding for complex projects like these must come from a variety of sources and will depend on multiple rounds of funding to support ongoing planning and
URBAN (VACANT LOT) INITIATIVES development over the long term. It would be impossible to project every public investment grant that the precinct is eligible for or will be eligible for going forward,
particularly at such an early phase of design. Instead, we have given an initial indication of potential funding sources to be explored as design continues to move forward.
Repurpose the underutilized lots for urban activations and development.

Our proposal is reasonable because it advocates for a phased approach in which efficient, big “bang for your buck” interventions are used to minimize traffic disruption
and allow for a gradual cultural shift around the changing character and use of the Skyway
