FROM THE MAYOR November 3, 2010 0040 TO: THE COMMON COUNCIL Date: 10.29 -2010 FROM: THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: 2011 Capital Budget Recommendations & 2011 -2015 Capital Improvements Program Recommendations In accordance with §20 -24 of the City Charter, attached please find my recommended 2011 City of Buffalo Capital Budget and 2011 -2015 Capital Improvements Program. Based upon the City of Buffalo Comptroller's recommended debt limits, the 2011 Capital Budget consists of $22.4 million in funding for City of Buffalo projects and $4.9 million for Buffalo Public Schools projects. In recommending individual expenditures, my administration has thoroughly reviewed the recommendations of the Citizens Planning Council (CPC). My administration is greatly appreciative of the difficult task performed by the CPC in evaluating more than $78 million in requests. As evidenced by the attached budget, I have adhered closely to the recommendations of the CPC. My recommended Capital Budget contains a wide variety of capital improvement projects with more than $2.89 million in funding for City Parks including the Olmsted Parks and historic Broderick Park. This funding is necessary given the County of Erie's decision to return management of the parks to the City of Buffalo. The remainder of the City's $22.4 million in capital funding is highlighted by: w Citywide Infrastructure — Repair /Replacement $5,146,561 * Buffalo Public Schools $4,900,000 r Emergency Demolitions $2,6$6,022 ® City -wide Tree Removal & Planting $1,605,000 ® Buffalo Fire Department Fire Apparatus $1,465,900 ® Buffalo Police Department Prisoner Lock -up $1,405,000 ® Cultural Institutions $1,235,420 ® City -wide Community Centers (HVAC, Mechanical, Electrical, Roof Repairs) $561,750 Building Needs Assessment $535,000 Broadway Market $347,750 ® Downtown Ball Park (Coca -Cola Field) Improvements $1$5,320 DEPARTMENT HEAD NAME: Byron W.

( Item No. xxx, C.C.P. xx/xx/xx) The residents of the Marine Drive Apartments have made numerous requests to reduce the speed limit of Marine Drive between Erie and Commercial Streets to fifteen (15) miles per hour. Section 1643 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law (V &T) states that "no such speed limit applicable on or along designated highways within such city or village shall be established at less than twenty -five miles per hour," with exceptions for highways passing schools or within city parks. This section of Marine Drive does not meet the requirements of the V &T to allow for a fifteen mile per hour limit, as it is neither adjacent to a school nor within a park. Marine Drive is, however, adjacent to the Buffalo Naval and Servicemen's Park and has seen an increase in pedestrian activity. In response to these requests, and in compliance with the V &T, the Traffic Engineering Division recommends that Marine Drive be posted with a twenty -five (25) mile per hour speed limit. The Traffic Ordinances of the City of Buffalo (Chapter 479) need to be properly updated to reflect this change, therefore, I request Your Honorable Body's approval of the following amendments to the Traffic Ordinances of the City of Buffalo, Chapter 479: 1) That Subsection 3a of Section 14 of Article 1, Chapter 479 of the Code of the City of Buffalo be amended to read as follows: Section 14.

( Item No. xxx, C.C.P xxlxx/xx Mr. Richard Stanton, of the Knoer Group, has requested permission to encroach City right of way at 468 Delaware Avenue. The property owners are seeking permission to construct a three story building at this site that would include approximately 3 steps within City right of way. The steps would not be within the main public sidewalk or impede pedestrian traffic.

That the applicant supply the Department of Public Works, Parks and Streets with a certificate of insurance, in an amount deemed sufficient by the Corporation Counsel, which will indemnify and save harmless the City of Buffalo against any and all loss or damage arising out of the construction, maintenance, use or removal of said steps within City right of way.

We have received official verification and confirmation from the County, State and Federal Governments as to these awards. We have been notified by the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, that based on Chapter 313, Laws of 2010, (the federal Medicaid Assistance Program (FMAP) Contingency Allocation Plan) the Governor and the Legislature authorized 1.1% local assistance reductions against all unspent General Fund & Special Revenue local assistance funds based on projected cash disbursements for the remainder of SFY 2010 -11. There will be a reduction against all awards with a cash balance moving forward on our DCJS grants in order to balance the difference of what the state actually received for the FMAP. Accordingly, appropriations will be reduced as the Mate is invoking the Executory Clause in Appendix A of our contract which prohibits contracting beyond the funds appropriated. Therefore, as of September 16 "' (we were notified October 20 all vouchers processed during SFY 2010-11, for affected contracts, will be reduced to accommodate the reduction to the state appropriation, by the 1.1% We also had a recent visit from one of our State Grant Program Representatives, who advised us that it is 1.1% now, but that we must keep on top of our reimbursement requests. Also, we do not know how these grants will be affected after the gubernatorial election and we want to try and at least safeguard our current situation. Therefore, in order to keep within the practices of our grant processing, especially in this time of critical need for funds, we are asking permission from your Honorable Body and Buffalo's Fiscal Stability Authority for the Mayor to enter into the contracts listed below. In addition, we are also requesting, as is our standard practice, that your Honorable Body authorize the Comptroller to provide for an interfund cash loan for all non-perso expenses until such reimbursements are secured by the funding source (County, State, "Feds "). We have listed the amounts under each identified grant and each loan would then be repaid as the reimbursements are sent to the City under the individual grant programs. As you also know, the grant process often involves delayed information, budgets, and contracts at these government levels, often times beyond the City's control, and therefore creates a pressing situation for the processing of the required paperwork. Some of these grants involve personnel expenses, equipment, etc. and it is imperative that we spend out the funding prior to the end of the grants fiscal year, and in most cases, because of the lengthy processing, we are constantly faced with time constraints, and now this latest tactic by the State, therefore �v_onlcnl�reciate our approval at the November Y mectine due to this critical matter. lu #2- Page 2 (Rev. 1193) Page # 2 TEXT CONTMATION: YPE SINGLE SPACE BELO NYS MOTOR VEIHCLE THEFT/INSURANCE FRAUD PREVENTION GRANT We are asking for authorization for the Mayor to enter into a renewal agreement between the City of Buffalo and the Department of Criminal Justice Services under the State's Motor Vehicle Theft and Insurance Fraud Prevention Program for the period 01 -01-11 through 12- 31 -11. The grant award will be a maximum of awarded $116,700 and the expenditures under this grant project will cover reimbursement for a Detective's position as it relates to the incidence of automobile thefts and correlated crimes (including overtime, if applicable), training expenses, and an equipment expense (air card service). We are requesting an interfund cash loan for all non - personnel expenditures (training/equipment expenditures pertinent to this initiative) until such reimbursement is secured from the State. The loan would then be repaid as the reimbursements are sent to the City from the State under this grant project. There is no City Match involved with this grant. OPERATION IMPACT VH - The Buffalo Police Department is respectfully asking for authorization for the City to accept funds, totaling $649,426, from the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services as part of Operation Impact Year 7 covering the grant period of 7/1110 through 6/30111. Operation Impact is part of a comprehensive strategy in New York State to reduce violent crime involving gangs, guns and drugs through integrated anti -crime teams. Buff'alo's strategy includes coordination with federal (ATF, FBI, DEA, US Marshal) state (NYS Police) and local law enforcement (Buffalo Police, Erie Co. Sheriff Dept, Central Police Services, NFTA, Housing) as well as Probation, Parole, the US Attorney's Office, and the District Attorney's Office. Again this year, awards were competitive throughout N`iI State, and also, the State will reimburse the City of Buffalo directly for the $649,426; there is no match associated with this grant. The funding award will be utilized for reimbursing a Violent Felony Task Force Detective's Salary/Fringes; 1 Report Technician Salaries/Fringes; the Salary /Fringes of (2) Crime Analysts, including one assigned to the Violent IMPACT Felony Task Force; Overtime for TacticallStrategic/Planning Operations and Directed Patrol in City neighborhoods; Domestic Violence orders of protection /sex offender registration; community service projects (St Brigid/Columba, Police Explorers, OMEGA Youth Menforing, Emslie YMCA) to work with young people fostering positive activities that deal with the myriad of problems they face with an emphasis on self-love, self - knowledge, self-development and responsible citizenship; Equipment that includes Display Signage and Accompanying Hardware for MRU, Narcotics and Detective Division, Live Finger Print Scan Machine, Color Printers /Cartridges for District Station Houses/M1tU/Housing Units, Computer for Gang Liaison Officer; also, training and staff development funding; utility services for the air cards within patrol vehicles for tracs system. OPERATION PROTECT KIDS CIGARETTE GRANT ® We anticipate the annual renewal of this grant as awarded to the County of Erie under the New York State Department of Health's Youth Tobacco Enforcement and Prevention Grant; this initiative will run through September 30, 2011. Under this renewal agreement, the County will reimburse the City of Buffalo a minimum of $45.00 for every completed compliance check of merchants who sell tobacco products. Using underage operatives as decoys, compliance checks have been conducted to see if active enforcement of New York State Public Health Laws reduces the availability of tobacco products to #2- ]Page 3 (Rev. I /93) page k3 ` t. TEXT CONTINUATION. (TYPE SINGLE �I'AC _BEL_ children. Another focus of this project has been to educate local business owners with licenses to sell tobacco products as to the law, and how this law must be enforced. Merchants who have been found violating this law and allowed the operative to purchase tobacco products, are to be subjected to penalties imposed by the Health Department, which may include fines. The City of Buffalo will receive 50 of any fines levied in order to continue the efforts to reduce tobacco sales to minors. 2010 BUl1LE'1' Pli; ®(F VEST' IMBURSEMENT - Through its Department of ]Police, the City is entitled to receive up to 50% reimbursement of $61,896.44, for the authorized purchase of bullet proof vests that comply with the requirements of the ®#Vice of Justice Programs' National Institute of Justice. Reimbursement is handled online and the City will receive a direct payment once proper reimbursement steps are electronically initiated. URBAN AREA SECURITY INITIATIVE (A— S YEAR 8/2010 FUNDING As you are aware, the City of Buffalo, County of Erie, and Niagara County have been awarded grant funds for an h year (2010 funds) under the Urban Area Security Initiative(UASI) from the US Department of Homeland Security for urban area security and homeland preparedness, totaling $5,544,750. Because of its high rating last year, we again did well, and the Feds did not cut our award as is what happened to others across the County, they kept ours the same (they were either going to remain the same or be cut for UASI Tier 11 cities). The City of Buffalo's share of funding is a total of $1,942,880; the County's share is $1,627,939; Niagara County's share is $846,981, and New York State receives 20 %, or $1,108,950. This year, 26.6% of the funds must be designated for law enforcement, which has been met by the City through our I' responder communications efforts. Buffalo's share of these grant dollars will continue to fund (2) positions for the City's overall homeland security coordination and fiscal compliance, interoperable communications equipment for both Police /Fire to complete the radio system upgrade as well as funds to enhance the mobile data of first, citizen preparedness activities and training, security equipment upgrades (urban /search rescue team equipment, fireboat equipment ), overtime funds for critical infrastructure protective operations, critical infrastructure reinforcement within City facilities as well as crisis management, perimeter control (`Shot zone ") training and fit testing (masks) for I'r responders, training/exercise funds supporting national priorities as well as joint multi-discipline efforts, including HAZMat, and staff development and instructional funding to attend mandatory homeland security training. Again, we are asking for permission for the City to accept this award, and also, authorization for an interfund cash loan covering all non- personnel expenditures should the need arise. The loan would then be repaid as the reimbursement is sent from the State under this special initiative. This particular grant application process has been very long and bureaucratic with the State and the processing of this grant information has been difficult due to the complexity of the different entities involved, the fact that the City now has four (4) UASI grants running simultaneously, the way the Federal government has set-up this process. #2- Pale 4 (Rev. 1/93) page #A �A (,_ TEXT CONTINUATION: (TYPE SINGLE SPACE BELOW) 2010 COPS TECHNOLOGY GRANTS_($6Q0.0000 - Due to the diligent efforts of City management working closely with our State and Federal leaders in asking for 2010 federal car-marked appropriations, the City of Buffalo Police Department has been the fortunate recipient another COPS Technology Grant. Buffalo's version of the New Fork State Traffic and Criminal Software System (TraCS) for in -car reporting includes automated traffic summonses and accident reports, crime reports, electronic mug shots, and electronic streaming video from our city -wide wireless camera system, which rely on commercial air cards. Commercial air cards, in a metropolitan area such as Buffalo, often have weak or no connectivity in some areas. The installation of W1 -FI will consistently and efficiently get TRACS data to and from police vehicles, and also, bolsters the opportunity for free internet access to low income residents. With the installation of W141, and the purchase of additional mobile computer terminals (MCT), this technology will complement the BPD's in -car reporting capacity, and also, ensure reliable and consistent connectivity for getting the data to and from police vehicles as part of the TraCS process. BUFFED ZONE PROTECTION INITIATIVE ($152105 — As part of the US Department of Homeland Security's many initiatives, the City of Buffalo, through its Police and Fire Departments are part of the 2009 Buffer Zone Initiative as designed by the State's Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services. The Police Department has the potential for a total funding award of $152,105 to be utilized to purchase equipment to enhance protective security measures and infrastructure protection for the (2) Police Districts that protect the Peace Bridge ( "B" District) and the International Railroad Bridge (I'D District). These key assets and critical infrastructures have been identified by New York State in working with the Federal Department of Homeland Security as meeting the federal definition of "Critical Infrastructures," through the Weapons and Mass Destruction Buffer Zone Protection flan. The funding can be utilized for authorized equipment purchases only. The grant period will cover between twenty-four and thirty -six months and there is no City match involved with this grant initiative. The premise behind this particular initiative is to support outside perimeter protection of identified critical infrastructures/key assets by developing effective protective measures that make it more difficult for terrorists to conduct surveillance or launch attacks within the immediate vicinity of high priority potential targets. We are requesting an interfund cash loan for all non - personnel expenditures (equipment expenditures pertinent to this initiative) should the need arise until such reimbursement is secured from the State. The loan would then be repaid as the reimbursements are sent to the City from the State under this grant project. POLICE REIMBURSEMENTS - .Also, for your information, the Buffalo Police Department will be securing reimbursement from the DEA for overtime worked by 3 dedicated Detectives assigned there, along with another assigned to the Upstate Diversionary Task Force (approximately $68,809) working on major drug cases, along with reimbursement from the FBI for any overtime worked by the Detectives assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Safe Streets Task Force, and the Cyber Task Force, which to date, will not exceed an additional $86,011. We will also secure reimbursement from the US Marshal's Office for their "rolling thunder" search warrant executions; amount varies annually In addition, this year, we will c o ntinue to have Detectives assigned to the US Marshal's Violent Felony Warrant Squad and will be reimbursed up to a maximum of $32,000 for overtime expenditures; along with reimbursements coming from our Department's participation at US Customs (approximately $15,000); Regional Crime Forensics Lab (maximum of $17,202); High Intensity Drug Traffic Areas (maximum of 17,202); New Fork State P "Spider" Operations and Immigration/Border Patrol Operations, including #2- Page 5 (Rev. 1193) page # 5 TEXT CONTINUATION; (TYPE SINGLE SPACE BELt�4�V Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Operations with both the DEA and FBI (amount varies annually); and Police Lifesaver Patrols (approximately $5,000). In addition, Buffalo Police will be reimbursed under New York Mate's Division of Criminal Justice discretionary member items (usually around $10,000). Again, we are asking for permission for the Mayor to accept all of this funding, and in addition, and where applicable, authorization for an inter-fund cash loan covering all non - personnel expenditures should the need arise. We try to secure all the required grant information in a timely manner, however, the reality is this is not always possible, especially, in this instance since we have just been notified about the "state of the Mate's" fiscal situation, and as a result, we find ourselves in a position of having to follow courses of action, such as this request, extremely quickly in order to follow up on processing grants under our own governmental procedures. We need your immediate approval due to the various timetables, and also, we hope to present this to the Control Board at their next meeting, which we cannot do until we secure your approval. If you have any questions or require further clarification of the above, please contact Captain Mark Makowski at 851 -5643 or Grant Coordinator Maureen Oakley at 716 851 -4475.

BROWN MAYOR OLIVIA A. LICA'TA ADTMINISIRTIVE DIRECTOR � w Gerald A. Chwalinski City Clerk Room 1308 City Fall Buffalo, NY 14202 Dear Mr. Chwalinski: KARLA L. THOMAS COMMISSIONER w o Ali I r, t In response to your correspondence of October 6, 2010, be advised as follows: Acting time is viewed as temporary employment and is to be used for the purpose of filling a position when duties need to be performed while the incumbent is not working and off with pay. i.e. on vacation or sick time. Since acting time is considered to be temporary, based on Section 64(2) of NYS Civil Service law, temporary appointments for a period not exceeding three months may be made without regard to an existing eligible list, thus resulting in a limit of 90 days. Acting time is not, however, to be used to fill a permanent vacancy or to fill a position that is left vacant during an individual's leave of absence more than three months. Section 100 of NYS Civil Service law charges the local municipal commission with certifying every payroll to verify the accuracy of employment for all city employees. Since the assignment of acting time is not approved by Civil Service, the validity of payroll certification is affected by the continuing acting time beyond the 90 day limit, rendering out- with State law and our local rules. Section 100 of NYS Civil Service law also authorizes sanctions against departments that continue to violate the law by withholding payroll (paychecks) for certification for the entire department, or for the specific employees in question. Section 101 of NYS Civil Service law also authorizes sanctions against any appointing authority who continues to employ such individuals after due notice from Civil Service. L I 65 NIAGARA SQUARE / 1001 CITY HAL / BUFFALO, NY 14202 -3310 / (716) 851 -5900 / FAX: (716) 851 -5401 ' October 18, 2010 While we understand that departments at times need to reorganize and may not necessarily want to immediately fill a position upon being vacated, when it is a permanently budgeted position, Civil Service laws and our local Rules are clear on the premise on how to fill these positions, especially when an eligible list is in place for that specific title. We are also aware of the difficulties that departments face to fill these vacancies, however, State law and our local rules must still be adhered to. Civil Service law requires each Municipal Civil Service officer to establish and maintain Eligible Lists, through the administration of competitive and promotional exams. The proper preparation and maintenance of eligible fists are critical elements of the competitive selection process and the administration of eligible lists is performed within the scope of these laws. When filling a vacancy from an eligible list, the role of Civil Service is to assure that the individuals being considered for selection are eligible to be certified for appointment (i.e. submit sufficient proof of residence; submit proof of required education or special licenses or certificates; review of police record check; drug test and medical exam, as required). Upon receipt of a request from the Appointing Authority (the hiring department), Civil Service will canvass the eligible list to determine which candidates are interested in the appointment. The results of the canvass and subsequent list of eligibles are seat to the Appointing Authority from which a selection s can be made. Civil Service is not involved in the actual selection of the individuals to be hired; contact with candidates is during the qualifying process and interviews are conducted by the Appointing authority. Our main role is to oversee the process to assure that the appointment is made within the scope of the law. An eligible list is deemed to be Incomplete when there are less than three eligibles on the list for appointment. In the absence of an eligible list, the appointment of a Provisional incumbent is in accordance with the respective contractual bargaining agreements. Individuals nominated for provisional appointment must meet required qualifications and successfully complete the qualifying process (as previously stated in this correspondence). October 18, 2010 I trust this will answer your inquiry. Sincerely, 4 '�' 4 Karla L.

Healthy City on the Great Lakes At our monthly meeting held on October 4th, the Bicycle - Pedestrian Advisory Board unanimously passed the report: Healthy City on the Great fakes (see enclosed). The report and the recommendations established within are meant to amend the city's comprehensive plan to improve the health and quality of life for Buffalo's residents. It is respectfully presented to the full council for consideration to officially adopt as an addendum to the comprehensive plan. The report was developed through a grant received by the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC) from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to develop a Healthy Communities Addendum to The Queers City on the. 21 Century: Buffalo's Comprehensive Plan, the principal policy document guiding decisions relative to land use and the built environment. Healthy City orr the Great Lakes documents the current walking and bicycling trends, as well as the conditions of the built environment that facilitates or limits our ability to be physically active as a part of our daily routine (active living) in the City of Buffalo. The report includes an analysis of demographic trends, GIS -based analysis of the built environment, documentation of pedestrian safety trends, and a review of existing plans, projects, and codes that supports active living. These current conditions create the basis for and justification of a set of recommendations and strategies that are anticipated to serve as an addendum to the city's comprehensive plan. Your consideration in the adoption of this report and its recommendations is most appreciated. YOU, Justin S. Booth Chair City of Buffalo Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Board Enc.

It would be easier for people to obtain this level. of physical activity by incorporating it into their daily routines, such as walking or bicycling to work, or within their leisure time in and around their neighborhoods. Many cities — including Buffalo — are exploring environmental and systemic solutions through policy, planning, and design of cities --to make such active living possible. This report documents the current walking and bicycling trends, as well as the conditions of the built environment that facilitates or limits active living in the City of Buffalo. The report includes an analysis of demographic trends, GIS- based analysis of the built environment, documentation of pedestrian safety trends, and a review of existing plans, projects, and codes, These current conditions form the basis of the active living policies proposed in the addendum. The findings suggest that Buffalo has many opportunities as well as challenges in the area of active living. City residents have. the potential to lead an active lifestyle, Data on the number of pedestrians in the city suggests there is already a culture of walking albeit on a small scale; this culture will likely reach a critical mass with significant environmental and systemic improvements. Traffic volumes on many of Buffalo's streets are low enough that lane width could be narrowed, or lanes could be removed altogether to make room for wider sidewalks, medians, or bike lanes. The notion of improving the built environment to make active living conducive is within the guidelines of existing plans, although no comprehensive 'active living' plan exists within the city. Key barriers to active living are safety concerns from crime and unmet infrastructure needs relating to deteriorating facilities, critical gaps within the multi -modal system and the lack of strategic system upgrades. The modification of Buffalo's plans and regulatory ordinances to support active living, combined with comprehensive efforts to educate officials, residents and community members, can make Buffalo a truly walkable and bikeabie city for its residents. 4 tc` According to the US Department of Health and Duman Services, adults should engage in moderate exercise, such as walking, a minimum of 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, or participate in vigorous exercise, such as jogging, running, or rollerblading, for a minimum of 20 minutes a day, 4 days a week. It would be easier for people to obtain this level of physical activity by incorporating it into their daily lives such as by walking or bicycling to work, or bicycling or walking within their leisure time in and around their neighborhoods. Many cities — including Buffalo — are exploring environmental and systemic solutions m through policy, planning, and design of cities — to make such active living easy and fun. This report documents the current walking and bicycling trends, as well as the conditions of the built environment that facilitates or limits active living in the City of Buffalo. The report includes an analysis of demographic trends, GIS -based analysis of the built environment, documentation of pedestrian safety trends, and a review of existing plans, projects, and codes. These current conditions form the basis of the active living policies proposed in the addendum. Back round The City of Buffalo is home to 263,366 residents, accounting for 28.9% of Erie County's population. Recent data from the American Community Survey suggests that the youngest age quartile (less than 25 years old) forms the largest proportion of residents, while the oldest age quartile (75+ years old) has the fewest residents (see Figure 1). Research suggests that among an adult population, the younger the residents, the more likely they are to walk or bike. In Buffalo, there is an opportunity to create an active living culture among the younger residents. $ Brian E. Saelens, 2003; L H. E. James N. Roemmich, Samina Raja, Li Yin, 2007; Kelly R.

Gender -based considerations are important to take into account because women and men may exhibit disparate active living behaviors and preferences. For example, males are reported more likely to walk or bike than females. This may be because of greater safety- related concerns among women. te ;n- Although the majority of Buffalo's population is Caucasian (54.78 %), a significant proportion of the population is African American (38.25 %) (see Figure 2). The proportion of African - Americans in Buffalo is higher than that in Erie County or New York State. Buffalo has a moderate percentage of Hispanic residents (8.19 %) as well. African Americans and Hispanics are more likely than any other race to walk or bike, specifically for walking or bicycling to work. H EV11'e 2 . 3. =x_ A3 Y o F b y Race R.

Slightly more than a quarter have completed college level education, The educational attainment in the city is lower than that of the surrounding county and New York State. (see Figure 3). Research suggests the higher a person's educational attainment, the more likely they are to walk or bike for leisure. Brian E. Saelens, 2003; Kevin J. Krizek, 2006; M. A. A. Lawrence b.

This level of physical activity may be obtained through daily routines, such as walking and bicycling to work. Current walking /bicycling trends among Buffalonians are described below. iwa "ti3 3 g Asa d i'Sl�` xa =esz Results from a recent web -based survey suggest that Buffalo residents do not meet minimum recommended physical activity levels. Only 28% of survey respondents reported walking more than 30 minutes a day, and only 19% jag /run /roller blade more than 20 minutes a day. The majority of respondents walk between 10 to 20 minutes a day. Residents report engaging in these activities for exercise and personal enjoyment. Bicycling appears to be more common among the survey respondents. About 85% of respondents report having access to a bicycle. Seventy -three percent of these individuals ride it either daily or weekly. Most respondents ride their bicycle between 1 -5 miles daily on the city streets. They usually ride for personal enjoyment; very few use bicycles for commuting or for sport and competition. Res ! O a libas -abo ° x sd w g alit Conti I,�'4 i - ts € the 'it Residents express concerns about walking and bicycling infrastructure in the city, with greater concern about limited bicycling infrastructure than that for walking. Over half of the survey respondents agreed that conditions in the city are "friendly" for pedestrian travel (see Figure 5). Whose who disagree cite poor condition of sidewalks and lack of motorist education as major problems. Residents' view of bicycling infrastructure is bleak. More than half of the respondents disagreed or strongly disagreed that the city was friendly toward bicycle travel. Respondents pointed to a lack of designated bike lanes as one condition that made bicycling unsafe in the city (see Figure 5). Many riders reported that automobiles tend to drive too close, forcing bicyclists off the road. Ninety -three percent of respondents reported that they would be more likely to ride in a separate lane for bicyclists if one were made available. Additionally, 87% of respondents would bike more if secure bicycle parking was made available at their destinations. Most respondents would like to be able to reach parks and recreation trails, and the downtown, by walking or cycling. 11 U, D. o. H. a. H. Services, 2008 Adtive P132 latio W€ S SE' Mirroring active transportation trends in Erie County and New York State, a small percentage (8:58%) of Buffalo residents walk to work. The majority (66.76 %) drive to work alone. Travel mode choice in Buffalo is more similar to the State than the County (see Figure 6). The Greater Buffalo - Niagara Region Transportation Council (GBNRT'C) monitors pedestrian activity by counting the number of pedestrians along select arterials throughout the City. *t Figure 7 shows the pedestrian counts in these locations. As shown, pedestrian activity is not evenly distributed throughout The data presented in Figure 7 was collected throughout the summer of 2008 and 2009. The GBNRTC chose to focus on the Downtown area, Clinton St, Main St, Elmwood Ave, and Niagara St. There was also a focus on the area surrounding the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC). 9 the City; however, all intersections surveyed had at least some pedestrians. Pedestrian traffic is heavy around Downtown, the BNMC, and along Elmwood Ave from Bryant St. to Forest Ave. People's willingness to make use of available walking infrastructure depends on their ability to walk. Unfortunately, over.1 in 10 Buffalo residents (5+ years old) have an ambulatory disability, i.e., difficulty walking. This rate is higher than both Erie County's and New York State's rates.. 10 Oat, Soarca: Creator $C7fT81•0 Nfiagara keg�r:r�al TrRnsporiatinn COLI 11 The built environment greatly affects a person's choice and ability to have an active lifestyle. Zoning and land use determine what, if any, destinations are within walking or bicycling distance of one's home. Sidewalks, bike lanes, and public transportation either support or hinder an active lifestyle depending on their location and condition. Street trees support active living by making for a visually appealing walking environment, and also add to the environmental quality and vitality of neighborhoods. ;A Us-- Walkable communities offer a mix of land uses that support active living behavior. Such communities have land dedicated to park land, a dense built environment, and a mix of land uses. Indeed Buffalo has many of these features (see Figure 8). Home to the fabled Olmsted Parkway system, Buffalo has a total of 1465 acres of park land, which amounts to about 242.4 square feet of park land per city resident. People are also more likely to bike and walk in places with denser built environments. One way to measure a neighborhood's density is through net residential density, or the number of housing units per acre of residential land. The City of Buffalo has a relatively high residential density of 20.09 housing units per acre (By way of comparison, the city of Atlanta, GA has an average net residential density of only 8.61 housing units per acre). Neighborhoods that contain a mix of uses encourage people to walk or bike, A mix of land uses is important because it places a variety of land uses such as retail, offices and homes, within walking and bicycling reach of residents, workers, and visitors. Walkable communities increase the convenience of active modes of travel, thereby expanding transportation options for all users. According to a recent land use map of Buffalo, most residential neighborhoods are within a reasonable walking distance (1/4 mile) of multiple commercial parcels (see Figure 8). Researchers commonly measure the mix of land uses using an entropy score where.the number zero (0) represent complete separation of land uses (i.e. only one land use predominates), while a score of one (1) represents an even distribution of land across a variety of land uses (e.g. residential, commercial, parks,.etc.). The City of Buffalo scores a 0.66 suggesting that land use is relatively diverse. The historic park system, the relatively high residential density and mixed -land use are built environment assets that can support active living among Buffalonians. §� See Anne Vernez Moudon, 2006; Boarnet, 2006; Brian E.

Specifically, vacant parcels are scattered throughout the City with a majority located on the East Side (see Figure.$). The presence of vacant parcels makes for an aesthetically displeasing active living environment. The land use in the City of Buffalo is a byproduct of its zoning.code. Commercial districts are zoned along major streets such as Hertel Ave., Genesee St., Sycamore. St., and Broadway St. Industrial districts tend to be in South Buffalo and along the Niagara River. The downtown has its own zoning district known as the Downtown Opportunity district. Main Street is lined with transit station zoning districts. The remainder of the City is largely zoned residential (see Figure 9). . 13 t of Y? - I ff In 14 § I c $ N - w — e 8 Z.3 3 G)_± ¥ w % J $ 1,10 t.0 Sidewalks, curb ramps, and crosswalks are critical in a person's ability to walk and hike.

The City of Buffalo has a limited network of bicycle lanes and multi -use networks. This network is shown in Figure 12. in 2008, the Greater Buffalo Niagara Regional Transportation Council (GBNRTC) designated certain roadways as part of a Regional Bikeway Network (see Figure 12). The GBNRTC assessed the degree to which these roadways offered a comfortable riding experience to bicyclists by assigning Bicycle Level of Service (BLOS) ratings for its Bicycle Route Guide. This rating system identifies whether a road is "suitable for riding," "caution is advised," or "extreme caution advised/ experienced cyclists only." «,F Unfortunately, the majority of road segments in the City of Buffalo which are included in the Bicycle Route Guide are rated as "caution is advised ". Multi -use trails are also included in this guide, several of which exist throughout the City of Buffalo including Riverwalk, Outer Harbor/Tifft Street, the Scajaquada Path, and the South Park Path (see Figure 12). These trails provide scenic paved pathways for cyclists, walkers, and other users, and are separated .from automobile traffic. Most of these trails link the City with the Greater Buffalo Niagara Region. These trails are described briefly below: tf v,er } oill_ - This multi -use trail runs along the Niagara River from North Tonawanda's Gratwick Riverside Parkto Buffalo's Naval Park.

South Park is home to the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. § § §§ '$$ GBNRTC, 2008 County, 2009; GBNRTC, 2008 Buckham, 2007 § § §§ GBNRTC, 2008 19 Bicycle theft is recognized as a significant barrier to.active transportation. The availability of safe, convenient and easily accessible bicycle parking is frequently overlooked and not provided at end of trip destinations. The City of Buffalo has adopted a bicycle parking ordinance (Chapter 307, Parking and Parking lots ARTICLE 1, Bicycle Parking) that states the following: Bicycle parking facilities shall be provided for any new building, addition, parking lot or enlargement of an existing building, or any change in the occupancy of any new building that results in the need for additional auto parking facilities. In addition Green Options Buffalo and the city have partnered in the development of the commercial district bicycle parking program. This has allowed businesses located within commercial districts to reserve a bicycle rack. In 2009 this joint program installed 170 bicycle racks in commercial districts throughout the city. IN Ua?a �ocrrc : C:r a ;'r �1tltPalo Niagara Regional Tr3nsporta ion Council 21 The availability of public transportation increases the possibilities for. active living. People must walk or bicycle from their point of origin to the bus or metro stop. They then must walk or bicycle to their destination once dropped off at a convenient stop. Providing convenient access to multi modes of travel encourages time spent living actively.. At present NFTA Metro operates one MetroRail route, 38 local bus routes, 17 express bus routes, 10 school day only routes, and 9 Metrolink routes. (see Figure 13). According to the NFTA, about 83% of the average weekday passenger activity occurs within the City of Buffalo. The current typical weekday ridership is approximately 90,000 (21,000 rail and 69,000 bus).Of the Metro routes that operate primarily in the City, they are divided into 3 groups in terms of typical frequencies. First are the primary routes with highest ridership including, routes 3,4,5,6,12,13,19,20,23,24,25. These operate approximately 10 -15 minute headways during peak hours and 30 -45 minutes off -peak. The second group is more support routes, including routes 1,2;7,8,11,14,15,16,26,32 which operate approximately every 20 -30 minutes during peak hours and 45 -60 minutes off -peak and at night. Two routes, 18 & 22 operate about every 45 -60 minutes throughout the day. On weekends the primary routes operate every 30 -45 minutes and the secondary about every 60 minutes. Metro rail operates approximately every 10 minutes through the day and 15 -20 minutes at night and on weekends. These forms of public transportation connect the City to the Greater Buffalo - Niagara Region. As of September 1, 2010 fares range from $0.75 to $1.75 per ride depending on the passenger's age or eligibility for reduced fare (see Table 1). $4.t70 $64.00 Child (5 -11 yrs.) Senior Citizen (65 and older) $0.75 $2.00 $32.00 Disabled & Medicare Recipients Only a few of the buses in the NFTA fleet are equipped with bike racks. Currently, racks are available on 91 out of 324 buses or 28 %. The N FTA will be receiving another 85 new buses over the next 12 months and at that point 5410 of the fleet will be equipped with racks. The current NFTA policy is that all new buses purchased will be equipped with bike racks. Despite progress, a considerable barrier to utilizing the system exists when in conjunction with a bicycle. Currently, the same buses are not used on the same routes at all times. A person may be able to put their bicycle on the bus on one leg of the journey but may not be able to use the bus on the way back. The metro rail allows two bicycles per train car. The bicycles are required to be placed in the area for disabled individuals (assuming the area is not under use by such an individual). 22 There are currently 165 bus shelters in the City of Buffalo. Currently, NFTA has a goal of installing 20 new bus shelters per year using Federal Transit Administration. Enhancement funds. New shelter locations are determined based on need and relevance. The number of daily passenger boardings at a stop is the primary determination, however, other factors are considered in the site selection such as adjacent land uses and facilities, exposure to the elements, frequency of service, i.e. long waiting times, and equitable distribution of shelter throughout Metro's service area in accordance with FTA's Environmental Justice requirements. 23 FiotHm 13- N"'VIA Ptiblic Tranmporia. flon Rc, , ,-AE-S; - mW MOPS Z' ., L eta ata sou(C2: lqhaglia Yfolltiar 24 St s = mot T£ g ees - Street trees offer many benefits for active living. They create an aesthetically pleasing outdoor environment, enhance the quality of life, and most importantly create a more enjoyable walking experience. Trees are known to reduce ambient temperature 5 -15 degrees. Frees absorb up to 60% of most precipitation reducing potential flooding. Trees also benefit property owners of adjacent Domes: researchers report a $15- 25,000 increase in home and business value on tree lined streets Businesses located on tree lined streets report 20% higher income streams when compared to businesses on streets with no trees Researchers also report that trees along thoroughfares reduce traffic speeds by 3 -15 miles per hour (mph). In other words, trees work as a calming device that makes the road /sidewalk network more conducive to walking and bicycling. It is therefore not surprising that studies report a 5 -20% reduction of crashes on streets with trees. City of Buffalo has a sizable tree canopy but the potential for increasing this is significant, f=igure 14 is a map of the City of Buffalo's street trees. Current trees are shown in green, unacceptable trees (need to be cut down) in yellow, and available planting locations in red. Where are approximately 57,000 existing trees, 5,500 unacceptable trees, and 47,000 available planting locations throughout the City. " The map suggests the west side of Buffalo already has many existing trees while the east side has the . potential to plant many more. Also, it should be noted that the complete absence of locations.to plant trees within and along Business Districts such as Downtown, Grant Street, Niagara Street, Genesee Street, Broadway and others needs to be addressed. a$ ..$$ Burden, 2006 25 Figure 14; Strei-t 1 1'ree Cover, Bufff', NY ..;.g M Al it PQ e xr _. 3 i >s z �� � ��,� ' 'll ! ;c oal PQ ow n �.?y�+_. i dad f wo wo ow n g 26 Safety trends affect the likelihood a person will choose to walk or bike.

People can also feel unsafe in areas with high traffic volumes or along designated streets for truck routes. Lastly, areas can be deemed unsafe due to the high number of bicycle and pedestrian crashes with motor vehicles. Crime hinders active living. if a person does not feel safe, they are less likely to walk or bicycle. " "' Females are especially affected by high crime levefs. As seen in Figure 15 crimes are located throughout the city; however, there are areas of higher concentration. The Uniform Crime Reporting Program defines two types of crimes, violent and property (FBI, 2009). Murder, homicide, assault, rape, and robbery are considered violent crimes. Murder and homicide accounted for only 0.4% of all crimes in Buffalo during the period of analysis. Assault, rape, and robbery accounted for an additional 20.1% making a total of 20.5% of crimes in Buffalo considered violent. The majority (79.5 %) of crimes were property related (burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft). Figure 16 and Figure 17 focus on violent crimes and murder /homicide respectively, Looking at all violent crimes suggests there are concentrations of high crime rates running from Downtown northwest toward Colonial Circle and along Bailey Ave and Genesee St. Focusing solely on murder suggests high concentrations of these crimes near Martin Luther King Park and the surrounding neighborhood. £ a fi� Y'4T a51_x ;J. A vet age £3.aXZ: _ = i, Li13 , k a-fd.3c Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) is an important transportation performance indicator and a factor for implementing a Road Diet. The term Road Diet can be defined as a reduction of lanes along a roadway segment which will accommodate the same amount of vehicles while providing additional right of way width for the accommodation of pedestrian, bicycle and transit infrastructure. Road segments with an AADT less than or equal to 12- 18,000 make excellent candidates for "Road Diets "; additionally, this application has been utilized on roads with up to 25,000 AADT (Lagerwey, 1999). The AADT on many road segments in the City of Buffalo is less than 18,000 vehicles. The exceptions are the 1 -190, Route 33, Route 198, Route 5/ Skyway, the Peace Bridge, the Elm/Oak corridor, and portions of Delaware Ave., Elmwood Ave., Kenmore Ave., Bailey Ave., Fuhrmann Blvd., Broadway St., Clinton St., Niagara Falls Blvd., Eggert Rd., and Parkside Ave. which have a higher traffic volume as seen in Figure 18. Due to the lower traffic volumes on many of the streets in the City of Buffalo, the City is presented with an opportunity to re- imagine the street network design using the techniques of road diets. The implementation of this infrastructure enhancement will allow for the efficient and safe travel of vehicles while at the same time increasing the access, connectivity and safety of the downtown streets for other transportation modes including bicycles and pedestrians.

These vehicles will often take the path of least resistance; however, most of the routes are along vital commercial corridors posing a threat to active living. Also, the majority of downtown (highly pedestrian area) and southwest Buffalo are identified for unrestricted truck access (see Figure 19). Consolidation of this unrestricted area to specific routes and limited time frames of use for all truck routes would serve to enhance the quality of life in Buffalo. Safety from motor vehicles while riding a bike on the street or walking across an intersection is vital for active living. Between September 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009 the City experienced 8,698 motor vehicle accidents. Of these 8,698 crashes, 5.810 (or 502 crashes) involved bicyclists or pedestrians. This equates to 191 bicycle /pedestrian crashes per 100,000 residents. Breaking it down further, 186 crashes involved bicyclists and 316 crashes involved pedestrians. Most accidents involving bicyclists or pedestrians occurred in the summer months of June, July, and August (see Table 2). This was true for each mode individually and combined. The least accidents involving bicyclists or pedestrians occurred in the winter months of December, January, and February.

There are many local and regional plans for the City of Buffalo and key subareas of the city which have language relating to active living. Several scheduled Transportation Improvement Projects address pedestrian and bicyclist infrastructure needs. The city has many regulatory codes and ordinances which influence active living. IF 'Ax "; x z There are several existing plans throughout the region which already address bicycle and pedestrian transportation. Any future plans (such as the Healthy Communities Initiative) should be consistent with currently adopted plans. "The 2008 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan is Buffalo - Niagara's vision to make bicycling and walking an integral part of daily life in the region. The plan recommends projects, programs and policies for the next ten years to encourage use of these practical, non - polluting and affordable modes of transportation. This plan is significantly different from past master plans and has drawn heavily upon several national award-winning programs, then tailored to meet the needs of Western New York." (GBNRTC, November 2008) a . I , _,; 1 `€ fir: x; i : EZ P' t=si r x This award winning plan's vision is "to build a city that is a prosperous, green regional center providing livable communities for all its citizens ... The success of this plan will ultimately be measured by the health and vitality of the Buffalo's neighborhoods." (Buffalo, 2004) One important aspect of livable communities is the possibility to engage in an active lifestyle. This in turn will improve the health and vitality of these neighborhoods. 17 e c ze s, i=_' f4ky Eii b - fa o te xu 8e,gi,s o_ crtio _ Plapi Jor _ ' 0` "The Queen City Hub envisions Downtown as a place where citizens of the city and the surrounding region live, work and play ... This vision for Downtown starts with the basics. It is a place that is clean, safe, pedestrian friendly, and beautiful. It is accessible, appealing, and "green." It is a place where important economic sectors are encouraged to grow and thrive in "strategic investment areas." Yet, it forms a coherent whole, knit together by its own emerging residential districts, and connected with adjacent neighborhoods and the waterfront by celebratory gateways, Ellicott's "great streets," and Olmsted's park and parkway system. The Downtown of this vision is a place of life, twenty -four hours a day, seven days a week, twelve months a year. In short, it is a place where residents and visitors alike live their lives well." (Buffalo, 2003) This program specifically states as a policy standard (Standard 9.1(D)(7)): "Improve public access from downtown Buffalo and the inner harbor area to the Outer Harbor for both pedestrian, bicycles and motorized vehicles." Another policy standard is to "Provide secure bicycle parking and safe bicycle lanes 38 in new development projects and connect these facilities with the public.pathway network along the waterfront." (Standard 13.1(A) (5)) (Buffalo, 2007) .. ay : A major principle of this plan (Principle 2.2.1(2)) is to "Promote safe, secure, diverse, and equitable use of the park system" by providing "for pedestrian and bike safety and accessibility." The plan continues by suggesting projects for each of the Olmsted Parks to "improve access and circulation within the parks for vehicles and pedestrians." (Conservancy, 2007) One of the primary responsibilities of the Greater Buffalo - Niagara Regional Transportation Council is the development of a long -range transportation plan for the two county region. The approved 2030 Long - Range Transportation Plan (LRP) is a blueprint for developing multi -modal access within the regional transportation system and seeks to meet the transportation demands of existing and future development. It serves as a guide to the development of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which consists of all federally funded roadway, transit, and major transportation projects scheduled within the region during the first five years of the LRP.

The Board should make suggestions and plans for traveling of bicyclist and pedestrians. The Board should also promote implementation of City of Buffalo. The Board should provide a plan for snow season especially for bicyclists, pedestrians and persons with disabilities. The report to Buffalo Common 41 Councils is supposed to be submitted quarterly concerning transportation projects affecting pedestrians, bicyclist and persons with disabilities. - n 307 d M :- W, o f [Added 5 -31 -2005, effective 6 -10 -2005] Bicycle parking facilities shall be provided for any new building, addition, parking lot or enlargement of an existing building, or any change in the occupancy of any new building that results in the need for additional auto parking facilities. For proposed nonresidential uses ... having off- street parking requirements of 20 spaces or more, a number of off - street bicycle parking spaces shall be provided equal to 5% of the automobile parking space requirement. ...the required automobile parking spaces may be reduced art the ratio of one auto space for each six bicycle spaces provided, except that under.no circumstances may the required number be reduced by more than 5 %. [Amended 10- 141997, effective 10- 30- 13971 It shall be the duty of every owner or occupant of any premises abutting any public street to remove, before 9 :00am, all snow and ice which may have fallen upon the sidewalk abutting said premises. ...in which a handicapped access cut has been installed to remove, before 9 :00am, all snow and ice which may have fallen upon the handicapped access cut. Every operator shall keep the sidewalk area free from dirt, snow and keep sidewalks and driveways open to pedestrians in safe conditions. The owners are responsible for the part of sidewalk fronting the public way and keep it in safe conditions.

Recommendation $.1: Apply audience specific techniques to develop targeted and custom messages as well as promotional activities and events that create positive associations with healthy behaviors and improved safety. Co Residents in Buffalo are not meeting the minimum daily required level of physical activity. Some walk and bicycle frequently, but walking and bicycling is not widespread in the city's culture. Several physical barriers exist to walking /bicycling in the city of Buffalo. Bicycle lanes are limited, and the roadways are rated as `caution is advised' for bicyclists. Despite the compact built form, land use is punctuated with extensive number of vacant parcels, making for an undesirable walking environment especially among the poorer neighborhoods in the city. Another major physical harrier is the large number of truck routes and immense area of unrestricted access in Downtown and South Buffalo. Residents also face major safety barriers such as high crash and crime rates. Yet there is great potential to promote active living among residents. Thanks to its historic architectural and planning legacy, the city of Buffalo possesses core physical assets that could potentially support an active lifestyle. The city is home to an extensive park system, a dense built environment, and a diverse land use — all of which are key ingredients for a walkable community. The city also has an existing network of sidewalks. Public transportation via bus is widely available, affordable, and connects the entire Buffalo - Niagara Region. The city is relatively green with a large number of street trees but there is potential to double the tree canopy. The east side in particular has the potential to plant many more trees. Existing ordinances — such as the complete streets ordinance — offer some policy support for active living. However, many of these ordinances are new, and therefore it is too early to tell whether these 45 are being implemented and or enforced. The City's comprehensive -plan makes references to promotion of walking and bicycling — but the direct goal of promoting active living does not currently exist in the city's comprehensive plan. As such, the plan offers no comprehensive and clear guidelines on how to plan, design, and redevelop Buffalo to promote active living among:Buffaionians. There are several policy and planning opportunities available to promote active living. For example, many streets in Buffalo have low enough volumes that .car lanes could be reduced in width or removed altogether to create room for wider.sidewalks, medians, or bike lanes. Implementation of innovative .policies and plans can foster a culture of walking and bicycling in the city of Buffalo. 46 References Anne Vernez Moudon, C. L., Allen D.

M Appendix gg3 �. 3 M ' ri.� t�sas.�£s" _.f -and �,P _. �.,,^., Source Data was obtained from multiple sources. Demographic data was obtained from the Census Bureau's 2008 American Community Survey found on the American Factfinder website(Bureau, 2009). It was then compared to both county level (Erie) and state level (New York State) data retrieved from the same source. Percentages were computed to allow for easy comparison between geographic levels. A written survey of Buffalo residents was conducted at the Elmwood Arts Festival as well as being available online at survey monkey from August 19 to December 29, 2009. The survey focused on individual's perceptions and behaviors pertaining to walking and bicycling. Current (August 2009) land use and zoning data was obtained from the City of Buffalo's Office of Strategic Planning. Analysis was conducted on this data to determine net residential density and land use mix. Net residential density was computed by dividing the total number of housing units (obtained from the 2008 American Community survey) with the total acres of land in residential use. The New York State Office of heal Property Services has created the "Property Type Classification and Ownership Codes" which was used to determine parcel land use (N. Y. S. O. o. R. P. Services, 2003). Residential land was defined as all parcels falling within the 200's property class code. Land use mix was computed by comparing residential, commercial, and office acreage using the formula found below. Again, residential land was defined as all parcels failing within the 200's property class code. Commercial land was defined as all parcels falling within the 400's property class code, excluding the 460's. Office land was aeTinea as ail parcels caning wanin ine 4bu property class coae. Land use mix = ( -1) *[(acreage of commercial/ total acreage of commercial, residential, and office) In (acreage of commercial /total acreage of commercial, residential, and office) + (acreage of office total acreage of commercial, residential, and office) In (acreage of office /total acreage of commercial, residential, and office) + (acreage of residential / total acreage of commercial, residential, and office) In (acreage of residential / total acreage of commercial, residential, and office)) / In (3) (T. L. S. Lawrence D. Frank, .lames F. Sallis, James Chapman, Brian E. Saelens, 2005) Location and condition of sidewalks, curb ramps, and crosswalks along New York State routes was obtained from the NYS Department of Transportation. This data is a preliminary, conditional assessment of sidewalk and curb ramp conditions based. on 2003 -2005 aerial mapping and photolog interpretation. All data should be field verified. NYSDOT will amend data as new information becomes available. Data for pedestrian infrastructure along local streets is not available. Pedestrian counts along major arterials were obtained from the Greater Buffalo Niagara Region Transportation Council (GBNRTC). The counts were originally collected throughout the summer of 2008 49 and 2009. Each location was monitored for around six hours during key interest times of the day (not necessarily the same times for each site). Bicycle lane and multi -use path data were also collected from the GBNRTC. In 2008 the GBNRTC assigned bicycle "suitable" to "caution is advised" to "extreme caution J experienced riders only" for user- ability of the Bicycle Route Guide. Bicycle lanes are noted as being Signed Bicycle Routes and are not rated through bicycle level of service data (BLOS). BLOS is only used to rate on -road highway segments which are part of the identified On- Street Bicycle.Network and where bicycle lanes are not provided. The BLOS Model evaluates bicycling suitability in shared roadway environments taking into account roadway width, traffic volume, pavement surface. condition, motor vehicle speed and type, width of paving between outside lane and edge of pavement, presence of on- street parking, and stormwater grate frequency. Current public transportation data was collected from the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority. It includes both express and regular bus routes as well as bus stops. Street tree data was obtained from the City of Buffalo's Urban Forester. This data was originally collected by a consultant group, Wendel Duchscherer. This data is up to date taking into account the vast amount of trees lost during the October Storm several years ago. Crime data.for the time period of July 2008 to July 2009 was collected from the Erie County Crime Analysis Center located at the Buffalo Police Department. This data included location and type of crime. A kernel density was performed on the data to highlight areas of high crime. Traffic volumes for major roads were collected from the GBNRTC. The traffic volume data is part of an ongoing database; therefore some of the data goes as far back as 2000. Truck routes and unrestricted truck access areas were obtained from the City of Buffalo Department of Public Works. Bicycle and pedestrian crashes with motor vehicles between the dates of September 1, 2008 and August 31, 2 009 were obtained through the Buffalo Police Department. All police accident report MV -104A farms were examined. Any crashes involving pedestrians or bicyclists were then entered by hand into a database. A kernel density was performed on the data to highlight areas of high accident incidence. Scheduled Transportation Improvement Projects were collected from the NYS DOT. Select local laws were collected from the City of Buffalo's Code (Buffalo, 2008). Lastly, descriptions of existing plans were obtained from either the plan itself or official webpages. The Healthy Communities in Buffalo Survey was designed with a series of multiple choice and open ended questions to determine individual's perceptions and behaviors pertaining to walking and bicycling. 260 people responded to the survey, of which 198 reported a residence zip code within the City of Buffalo, Most other respondents live within the surrounding suburbs. N Aid. C Recommendation 2.1 With whom would the Coordinator position be "shared "? Wouldn't it simply be a DPW position? Recommendation 2.3 Ten miles doesn't seem like very mach, and since the biggest problem with pedestrian facilities is curb ramps and crosswalks, would the City get credit if it did all the cross -walks along a 10 -mile stretch of Main Street? Or a 5 -mile stretch, if they could count each side as five miles? As an aside, at that Pedestrian Safety by Design workshop a couple of weeks ago there were a couple of people from NYSDOT who are in the process of evaluating all of their pedestrian facilities for upgrade. I believe 2.013 or 2016 is the date all facilities have to be compliant with ADA (or more properly PROWAG (Public Rights -of -Way Accessibility Guidelines ) to avoid significant Federal subsidy losses. Recommendation 2.4 That number honestly seems a little high as an annual figure if extended over several years. The saturation point would be hit pretty quickly I think. NEW Recommendation 2.5 I=nsure that in all roadway facility upgrades, including lane marking contracts, all appropriate bicycle and pedestrian facilities as included as a matter of course. Recommendation 4.3 That doesn't seem very realistic for a light -rail system. Wouldn't a concentration on improving bus connectivity to the existing, or slightly expanded rail line be more managable? Maybe the goal should be expressed in terms of a maximum travel time between home and light -rail (including bus headways)? W. Morgan Smith Manager, Public Space Buffalo Place Foundation Assistant Secretary Market Arcade Film & Arts Centre, Inc. Member City of Buffalo Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Board 52 I am in totally support of the neighborhood school concept! - Assunta R. Ventresca, M.S.N., R.N. Director of Health Related Services Buffalo Public School District I would suggest that Recommendation 4.2 be changed to read; Increase the number of bus stops with shelters that are safe, comfortable, accessible and convenient for all users. It is not practical to require shelters at all stops for a variety of reasons including funding to purchase and maintain, site restrictions, objections from property owners, low usage(many of our stops have single -digit hoardings per day), etc. If it is possible to make changes to the report, you are probably aware that Metro changed it's fare structure on September 1 and eliminated zones and zone charges. If this can be reflected in the report, I would change the last sentence of the 2nd paragraph on page 22 to read, Fare range from $0.75 to $1.75 per ride depending on the passengers age or eligibility for reduced fare (see Table 1). Table 1 ~would be changed to remove reference to zones as follows: Boarding Fare Clay Pass Monthly Pass Adult $1.75 $4.00 $64.00 Child, $.75 $2.00 $32.00 Seniors, etc. Delete note describing zone fare payments, etc. - Robert Gower Manager, Planning Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFT'A) In the recommendation item 1.2 is not connected back to the report — item 3.2 could be more specific in terms of the "how" rather than the outcome, item 4.3 could also be more specific Le. expand light rail to the airport- Recommendations could also include; complete funded rails to trail project (north buffalo) and identify addition rails to trails opportunities especially (As a priority) those that would connect to waterfront. 53 Philip Haberstro Executive Director The Wellness Institute of Greater Buffalo & WNY Strategy 2: An item should be added to recommend an educational campaign to promote safety for pedestrians and cyclists. It is most important that this be targeted at automobile drivers, but cyclists need this too. I am not sure if this should be Recommendation 2.5 or if it it should go into Strategy 7 as Rec. 7.3. Strategy 3 needs to ensure that schools have bike parking. Racks at the schools are essential. As possibly a separate recommendation, the support of school personnel needs to be. ensured too. Strategy 4, Recommendation 4.2. Please add the word CLEAN. In my neighborhood and near my former workplace, there were bus shelters that were FILLED with garbage.

Plan, for the Former Buffalo China Site in Buffalo, Erie County. Current and historical use of the Site has been for the manufacture of China tableware. A small portion of the Site purchased in the 1980s, including the Harrison Street Warehouse, was historically owned by a mirror manufacturing operation located north of the Site. Historical Site operations have resulted in contaminated soils and groundwater with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and metals. The Remedial Action Work Plan is available at the locations identified in this fact sheet and on the DEC website, htt ' ravrr.,cl� c..�ot;cltet�i�rl iE7�5,itr�i1 Comments on the plan will be accepted for 45 days, from October 25 — December 14, 2010, and may be submitted to the NYSDEC project manager listed on the opposite page. Work at the site will be performed under New York State's Brownfield. Cleanup Program (BCP). The BCP provides existing or potential property owners financial incentives to promote the voluntary cleanup, redevelopment, and revival of brownfield sites. Brownfields typically are former industrial sites that have been environmentally compromised making redevelopment of the site more difficult. Buffalo China, Inc. entered the BCP in May 2007. The property was sold to Niagara Ceramics Corporation, which continues to manufacture china at the Site. Are People Exposed to Contamination at the Site? VOC and metals- impacted subsurface soil /fill is present at the site. Currently, access is restricted to the Site because it is an active industrial property and is fenced. However, VOC impacted groundwater has migrated off and VOC vapors are affecting one adjacent property, based on sub - slab monitoring. The proposed cleanup plan will address areas of known contamination, 'Tat Does the Draft Remedial Action Work Plan Involve? Elements of the Remedial Action Work Plan include: • Excavating contaminated soils and disposing them at an authorized disposal facility; • Installing a vapor mitigation system to minimize exposure to vapor contamination at an adjacent property; • Injecting chemical oxidants into the ground to clean up groundwater; Brownfield Cleanup Program October 20.10 Project No. C915209 Placing an environmental casement on the property to restrict future use of the site to industrial purposes; and Completing routine site inspections and maintenance. , Next Steps NYSDEC will consider public comments before it approves and finalizes the Remedial Action Work Plan. The approved plan will be available for public review at the locations listed below and on the NYSDEC website. After it is approved, Buffalo China will proceed with the environmental cleanup work at the site. The environmental cleanup work is expected to begin in the spring of 201.1. The excavation will be completed in the spring, and groundwater injections will occur` periodically over an 18 -month period, followed by monitoring. NYSDEC will keep the public informed about significant project milestones at the Former Buffalo China Site through fact sheets similar to this one. Site B# kgrouo_d_ The Former Buffalo China Site has historically been the location of china manufacturing. A small portion of the Site purchased in the 1980s was used as a warehouse by the Standard Mirror Company. The Site, which is currently owned and operated by Niagara Ceramics Corp., comprises approximately 8 acres and is bordered on the north by Conrail railroad tracks, on the east by the adjoining former Buffalo China Warehouse and other commercial/industrial facilities, and on the south and west by residential properties. The nearest body of water is the Buffalo River, located approximately 1 /4 mile south and east of the Site. Environmental investigations have identified that the Site's soil and groundwater have been impacted by VOCs and lead, and the VOC contamination in the groundwater has migrated off Site. The DEC has determined that this contamination poses a significant threat to public health and the environment. Who Should Il Call If t Have Questions . About the Site?

October 7, 2010 Adam Ferry, Esq. The Honorable Byron W. Brown Chair Buffalo City Hall Room 201 Justin Azzarella Buffalo, NY 14202 Dominic Boniifacio RE: 2011 Capital Budget Recommendation and 2011 Bond Sale Arthur Robinson, Jr. Recommendation Sean Carrington The projects recommended by the CPC for the 2011 bond sale Dear Mayor Brown: Teresa Glan©wska in detail below. The Citizens Planning Council (CPC) in accordance with Marsha Jackson Section 20 -23 of the Charter of the City of Buffalo (Chatter) hereby submits-to you our recommended capital budget for the 2091 calendar Gerald Kelly year. Attached to this letter are the spreadsheets outlining the 2011 recommended capital budget and the related 2011 recommended bond Maureen Krause sale. Additionally, based upon the information provided by City staff, the CPC has prepared a recommendation with respect to the four -year Russell Maxwell capital improvement program as required by the Charter. Kawanza McCall The Office of Strategic Planning (OSP) has been successful in complying with Charter benchmarks, while diligently pursuing verifiable Orlando Perez data to support the budget requests. The OSP notified all relevant patties of the capital budget process and all were invited to participate, Samuel Radford submit comments, and appear before the CPC. We thank all who appeared before the CPC to enable it to determine a workable 2011 Arthur Robinson, Jr. capital budget. Tillman Ward The projects recommended by the CPC for the 2011 bond sale and 2011 capital budget were based upon a variety of factors explained in detail below. The more than $78 million in requests, considering the sales cap of $22.4 million for the City and $4.8 million for the Board of The Honorable Brown October 1 i P ag e of f Education (BOE), presented a challenging budgeting task. In order to address-so -- many requests with such limited funding, the CPC used its previously established priorities for funding. The classifications considered for ordering projects included those having an impact upon health and safety, annual. commitments, the availability of stets and federal and other matching funds, and priority projects, The BOE submitted a request for funding totaling $4.9 million, failing under the availability of state and federal matching funds category. Most of the fending that has been requested is for reconstruction and improvements at various school buildings that are included in the current Joint Schools Construction Board (JSCB) program. These projects will receive a Now York State 94.3% match. The Buffalo Fire Department (BFD) and Buffalo Police Department (BPD) made presentations to the CPC. CPC and OSP staff members have worked closely with. both departments to determine their most pressing needs and priorities. Additional funding for BFD's request for the purchase of fire vehicles /apparatus and upgrades to its facilities, and the BPD's request for building improvements to its headquarters and police district buildings are recommended, due to their impact on health and .safety, The BPD's City Court Look -up request is recommended because as of October 2011, Erie County will no longer provide prisoner processing services (fingerprinting, mug - shots, holding, et cetera) for the City of Buffalo, making it the City's responsibility. The CPC discussed the issue of demolitions in the City of Buffalo at length and has decided to recommend funding in the amount of 2,686,022. The request falls under the health and safety category and is considered to be an annual requirement. A number of cultural organizations appeared before the CPC with many worthy requests for building renovations. There was much discussion about priorities and outside funding opportunities. The CPC decided that all of the requests were worthy of attention, but due to budget constraints, most of them could not be recommended for funding. The CPC recommends that requests from the Buffalo Arts Commission, Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society, Buffalo Museum of Science, Kleinhans Music. Nall, Shea's Performing arts Center and the Buffalo Zoological Society are funded for reasons of health and safety, prevention of costlier damage, code compliance and liability avoidance. Olmsted Parks improvements will be funded through the Citywide Parks Improvements allocation. The projects recommended for funding as noted above were arrived at through a consensus of the CPC, with little to no dissent and an ultimate agreement of all members present. This is also true of the BPD and BFD projects described above and the DPW allocations described below. There was one exception to the consensus process as will be noted below, The Honora Byr B rown Oc 2 Pa - of The Department of Public Works (DPW) had by far the largest requests in volume and Est. As previously noted, the importance of health and safety, and the availability of matching funds, were two top criteria for funding recommendations for the 2011 Capital Budget. CPC, 08 P, and DPW have worked together to identify the greatest needs and priorities of t he DPW. DPW projects are accompanied by a mending match from state and federal funds and are therefore' recommended for funding. These projects are primarily in the area of streets reconstruction. DPWs.annual commitments included citywide infrastructure improvements, City awned building repair, citywide parks, bridge repairs, and streets vehicles. The CPC recognizes the importance of these annual commitments and recommends that they be funded in the 2019 Capital Budget. Once all of the health and Safety, Annual Commitments, and Matching Funds projects have been accounted for, there is little flexibility of funding for Priority Projects. Although many of the requests have merit, only certain items have been recommended for funding. The CPC recommends that these projects be funded in the amounts outlined in the attached budget. The CPC approved the Capital Budget as presented, but agreed by a divided marrow majority of the bare quorum present for the final session to fund the Neviliy Court project, recommending an allocation of $250,000 to fund the budget request DCCM11800 South District ® Nevilly Court Construction - Phase 2 (this was the only item in the entire CPC process that did not have a consensus of the CPC to recommend its funding as the final vote was 5 in favor to 3 against, with 7 members being a quorum). This item was recommended to be funded by reductions from among the following DPW, Division of Parks budget items; PRKS11001 Citywide Parks Improvements, PRKS11002 Broderick Park Phase 1, 11, PRK811003, Citywide Tree Removal & Planting, and PRKS11004, Park Vehicles and Equipment. These reductions will be determined by City staff`. The CPC was unable to agree to or recommend where specific reductions were to be made due to the division among the members on whether and how this particular project should be funded. The CPC realizes that the needs are far greater than the available budget can fund. While we respect the Comptroller's disciplined approach for managing capital debt, the limited amount made available to the City to maintain its infrastructure, buildings, parks, and other amenities is woefully insufficient. The CPC is deeply concerned over the number of projects needing to be done, how this lack of funding will impact the quality of life and safety of our citizens, and decreasing capital debt projections. The CPC recommends that the Comptroller increase the City's capital spending level beginning in 2012. j f t 3 �� J The Honorable Byron W. Brown October 7, 2010 Page 4 of 4 The CPC is a dedicated gaup of volunteers selected by the Mayor, Common Council, and the BCE delivering perspectives from many areas of expertise.

POLONCARZ COMPTROLLER October 7, 2010 District Council Member David A. Franczyk � f`illmore District 65 Niagara Square, Rm. 1315 Buffalo, New York 14202 Dear District Council Member Franoyk, As you may know, on October 1, 2010, the Erie County executive released his proposed budget for the 2011 fiscal year. Normally your office would not be directly impacted by the proposed Erie County budget. However, the proposed cuts to my office are so severe, that if enacted, these cuts will negatively impact your ability to perform your duties to your constituents. Under the county executive's proposal my office will be cut by 36% percent, fifteen (15) employees, while other departments are barely touched, new jobs controlled by the county executive are created, and raises are given to high -level management under the county executive's control. In particular as it relates to your ability to serve your taxpayers, his proposal would cut the entire property tax collection division of my department, including Nancy Grant, our supervising accountant for real property tax collection, and John Przybyla, our junior tax accountant, which many of you deal personally with on many occasions. The county executive also cut all the cashiers that accept payment on behalf of the county and other entities, including residents of the City of Buffalo. As I am sure you are aware, these employees play an important role not only for the county, but they assist the various cities, towns, villages and school districts in the proper preparation, collection and distribution of their property taxes. As was seen in 2009, a small error elsewhere in the county government caused a serious problem with the correct computation and subsequent collection of taxes, Serious issues can arise without proper oversight in place. By cutting the key personnel in my office who monitor and ensure that Erie County's property taxes are properly set, collected and then distributed out to the county's municipalities, the county executive is in effect guaranteeing that not only the county will be unable to collect taxes, but all town and city governments who rely on these individuals to assist them in their tax collection duties are unable as well. That is utterly irresponsible. t ERIE COUNTY OVI"IGE 13UILDING m 06 FRANKLIN STREET, SUFrAI_9, NEW YORK 14202 TELEPHONE: (716) 055 -8400 s VAk (716) 858.850 a INTERNE. avers orie.gov Poloncarz Letter to Local Leaders on Budget Cut Impact October 7, 2010 � Page 2 of 3 Unfortunately the county executive did not stop with those proposed layoffs. He gutted my audit division, taking a strong but still- undersized audit department of seven people and reducing it to two: the audit deputy and one senior accounting analyst. The members of my audit staff have helped numerous towns in past years on a variety of issues. If this division is reduced to two it will be unable to assist local officials as we have in the past. I am proud of the millions of dollars of waste, fraud and abuse of tax dollars my audit division has uncovered. In fact, my audit division is an award winning team of skilled professionals, having been honored by the Association of Local Government Auditors for its exemplary work, the first time a New York State municipality had been honored with such an award. He also cut from my department my only associate deputy comptroller, who is in effect my chief of staff and liaison with local governments, and my secretary, who is in fact my legislative liaison. Incredibly, the county executive also cut the accountant who monitors the county's health insurance payments to ensure the county is not paying health insurance for dead people or overpaying for active and retiree health insurance. Finally, he proposes cutting almost the entire revenue recovery unit of my office, which brings in millions of dollars for the county. He cut the employee who monitors and collects all hotel tax payments for the county. A rational executive in the private sector would never cut such an employee or an office like my department's tax collection function if he was truly concerned about guaranteeing the county's and this region's future revenues. In effect he is trying to undo the charter changes of 2006 and last year's election. In times of fiscal distress, the voters of Erie County have always placed their trust in the office of the independent comptroller. After a crisis they have always provided more power to the comptroller's office. Why is that? Because the taxpayers understand that government always works better with a strong financial oversight function in place. I believe the county executive is trying to end the oversight of him and others by this office. He is trying to kill the independent taxpayer watchdog. He is trying to eliminate the checks and balances required by Erie County's Charter. Unfortunately, these cuts will hurt your municipality as well. The county executive has been saying that he has had no choice but to address a deficit. My office is reviewing the proposed budget and will be issuing a report on our findings. But let me make this clear. the cuts to my office could have been avoided and will negatively impact all county residents and your ability to provide high quality and efficient services to your constituents. I will do everything in my power to ensure that the integrity of the comptroller's office is protected for the present and generations to come. The people of the county have spoken many times over that they want a strong watchdog guarding their tax dollars. In our democratic society one man cannot subvert the will of the people, and I will do all to ensure the will of the people is protected and a strong independent comptroller remains for the good of the people of Erie County and to assist your office as you carry out your important duties. Po#oncarz Letter to Local Leaders on Budget Cut Impact October 7, 2010 Page 3 of 3 In turn, I ask you to contact the county executive and members of the Erie County Legislature to tell therm that you do not agree with these draconian cuts, especially as they will impact your entity's ability to properly serve your constituents. I have taken the liberty of including a list of the legislators and county executive with their corresponding phone numbers and e-mail addresses. I hope you would call or e-mail each to express your displeasure with this proposed budget and ask that they restore the cuts made to my office, cuts which if enacted unfortunately will have a detrimental impact to your community as well. As always, if you have any questions or comments please contact me at your earliest convenience. Sincerely yours, at, r 4 Mark C. Poloncarz, Esq.'

Indeed, as the Buffalo News reported on 101/21/10, "Library use is higher than it has been in the past six years, with nearly four million visits and nearly 842,000 computer sessions expected before the end of the year;" and, WHEREAS: Many young people do not have computer access at home, and may not be able to afford a "kindle" or other technologies and books that only the library can provide; and, WHEREAS: Council Members in the City of Buffalo, recognizing the profound importance of the community library, have actually stepped up to the plate, and through great effort and cost, reopened neighborhood libraries shuttered by the last round of closings; and, WHEREAS: When cuts were proposed to libraries in 1914 and during the Great Depression in the 1930's, an angry citizenry fought successfully to reverse those budget reductions, providing an inspiration for a similar popular outcry which is needed today; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That the Common Council condemns the ill conceived county budget cuts to the Buffalo and Erie County Library system, bulwark of an informed citizenry in a democratic society; and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: f a- ; That the Erie County Legislature shown true leadership by restoring the $4 million in cuts meted out by the Erie County Executive in its final budget approval.

LOWRT® 0003 4 k RESOLUTION By: Mr. Golombek Re: Protection From Natural Gas Extraction Whereas: The Commercial extraction of natural gas in the urban environment of Buffalo poses a significant threat to the health, safety, and welfare of residents of the City of Buffalo; and Whereas: Widespread environmental and human health impacts have resulted from commercial gas extraction in other areas; and Whereas: Regulating the activity of commercial gas extraction automatically .means allowing commercial gas extraction to occur within the city, thus allowing the deposition of toxins into the air, soil, water with potentially harmful health implications for city residents; and Whereas: Meaningful regulatory limitations and prohibitions concerning natural gas extraction, along with zoning and land use provisions, are barred because they conflict with certain legal powers; and Whereas: Environmental and economic sustainability cannot be achieved if the rights of municipal majorities are routinely overridden by corporate minorities claiming certain legal powers; and Whereas: The Common Council believes that the protection of residents, neighborhoods, and the natural environment constitutes the highest and best use of regulatory powers that the City of Buffalo possesses; and Whereas: Local legislation that embodies the interests of the community is mandated by the doctrine of the consent of the governed, and the right to local, community self- government; Now Therefore Be It Resolved: That this Common Council goes on record in support of a ban on commercial extraction of natural gas within the City of Buffalo; and Be It Further Resolved: That the Law Department create a Bill of Rights for the residents of the City of Buffalo and remove any legal powers from gas extraction corporations that operate or may operate in the City of Buffalo. e.c e� Joseph Golombek, Jr. City of Buffalo, New fork Ordinance No. of 2010 Aar' ORDINANCE TO PROTECT THE (HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE OF RESIDENTS AND NEIGHBORHOODS OF BUFFALO BY BANNING THE COMMERCIAL EXTRACTION OF NATURAL GAS WITHIN THE CITY; ESTABLISHING A BILL OF RIGHTS FOR BUFFALO REsIDENTS; AND REMOVING LEGAL POWERS FROM GAS (EXTRACTION CORPORATIONS WITHIN THE CITY ,Section 1 —Name This Ordinance shall be known and may be cited as "Buffalo's Community Protection from Natural Gas Extraction Ordinance."

LoCuErto RE: City of Buffalo's Tree Removal Plan WHEREAS,:. The October 2006 Snow Storm drastically reduced the number of trees in Buffalo; the storm destroyed' 8,400 mature trees throughout the City and damaged many more; and WHEREAS, The City of Buffalo has its own Forestry Department, consisting of four employees and a supervisor. Although, we have a Forestry Department them i.s.still a need to contract out services because the Forestry Department's current employees are not power line certified arborists and also lack the equipment necessary for the removal of trees over 90 feet; and WHEREAS, The City of Buffalo has $40,000 available for emergency tree removals, to protect City residents from fallen trees. It has been estimated that 3,500 trees need to be removed in the City of Buffalo. The trees in need of removal are not standard tree removals that can be accomplished in -house by our Forestry Department. Although some may believe these removals to be low priority; fallen and deteriorating trees pose an immediate hazardous condition for the residents of the City of Buffalo. By consultant ratings, $40,000 is not an adequate amount for necessary tree removals as we approach the winter season; and WHEREAS, In the 2011 Capital Budget Recommendations for Capital Projects, Mayor Brown has recommended $1,605,000 for city wide tree removal and planting. As the City currently does not have a tree removal contract in place, residents will be forced to wait until July of next year before many of these perilous trees can be removed. The residents of the City of Buffalo should not and cannot wait until July of next year to have these perilous trees removed. There are branches falling on a daily basis in neighborhoods throughout the City, and young children playing and walking by these unsafe trees regularly; and MOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Common Council does hereby request that the City of Buffalo Deputy Commissioner of Public Works and the head of the Forestry Department report to the Common Council on the status of the City of Buffalo's tree removal plan; and NOW, THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED The Deputy Commissioner is hereby directed to furnish a list of all trees that have been identified as being in need of removal by Common Council District; and Ej l I►MM. 3�.:1 I1TaDl �3 ► �. i.

LoCURTO 1 1_n"_'��LQk"�& BONNIE E. RUSSELL ", iJ F. RESOLUTION Sponsor: Bonnie E. Russell Subject: Greater Lase Enforcement Coordination Needed in the University District Whereas: A number of high- profile crimes have occurred in the University District in recent years and these incidents have frequently involved problems between University at Buffalo ( "UB ") students and non - student University District residents; and Whereas: Although many of these crimes have been solved and/or resulted in successful prosecution, the underlying issues which gave rise to these incidents retrains unresolved, which continues to frustrate, alienate, and anger University District residents that care about their community; and Whereas: The University District is one of the City's most diverse in terms of income levels and ethnicity and is home to a large number of UB students, many of whom live in off - campus housing in the University District; and Whereas: The University District is patrolled by a number of different law- enforcement agencies, including the Buffalo Police Department, Erie County Sheriff's Department, the UB Police Department, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority and the New York State Police, each of which has different powers, duties and jurisdictions; and Whereas: As taxpayers of the City of Buffalo, the County of Erie, and the State of New York, University District residents fund the operations of each of these law enforcement agencies, and are entitled to their services; and Whereas: Recognizing that crime is not limited by political boundaries, it is critical for neighboring law enforcement agencies to coordinate their efforts even when the area of their geographic jurisdiction does not overlap, as is the case with the City of Buffalo Police and the Town of Amherst Police, Town of Cheektowaga Police, and Village of Kenmore Police. Now Therefore Be It Resolved: That the Buffalo Common Council supports an increase in coordination between the various law enforcement agencies that operate in and around UB and the University District; and Be It Further Resolved: That this Honorable Body requests that the leadership of the Buffalo Police Department, Erie County Sheriff's Department, the UB Police Department, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, the New York State Police, the Town of Amherst Police, the Town of Cheektowaga Police and the Village of Kenmore Police to convene a meeting to explore ways of ensuring greater communication, planning, and support between their various agencies.

Bonnie E. Russell University District Council Member ADOPT 1st, 2nd, & 3rd RESOLVE, REFER REMAINDER TO THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON POLICE OVERSIGHT 10097 RESOLUTION By: Ms, Russell Re: Support State of the Art Aquarium for Inner Harbor at Memorial Auditorium Site Whereas: The Erie Canal Harbor was originally built in 1825 as the Western Terminus of the Erie Canal and made Buffalo one of the world's greatest business centers for much of the 19` and early 20 century; and Whereas: Buffalo transformed from a small village to a thriving metropolis, becoming one of the largest inland ports in the nation, bustling with people and goods from all over the world; and Whereas: During the latter half of the 20 century, fewer goods were transported through the Great Lakes, leading to the demise of the Erie Canal Harbor as a functional hub of commerce. The canal site was eventually filled in and left largely vacant, except for scattered parking lots; and Whereas: In 1999, plans called for restoring the buried Erie Canal terminus and adjacent 20 plus acres of land into a vibrant mixed -use waterfront destination in the city's former canal district; and Whereas: Today, the inner harbor area remains largely vacant. Other than infrastructure improvements, the area has seen few new buildings or new businesses to the expanse section swath of prime waterfront land; and Whereas: Locating a state of the art Inner Harbor Aquarium at the Memorial Auditorium site that features both fresh and salt water tanks would be a major attraction that would bring hundreds of thousands of visitors per year to the canal side area and spur further economic development on the waterfront; and Whereas: Multi -day visitors would help fill hotels, restaurants, create demand for new retail and finally give Buffalo's waterfront a major destination, while complementing our existing sites and attractions; and Whereas: An Inner Harbor Aquarium focusing on the Great Lakes ecosystem could feature plant and animal life found in and around the lakes; and Whereas: In 1981, the National Aquarium in Baltimore opened and since has been a symbol of urban renewal, an economic anchor for the city and a source of civic pride for the entire State of Maryland; and Whereas: A Great Lakes themed Inner Harbor Aquarium at the Memorial Auditorium site could be the anchor that this area needs to spur a full revitalization of the waterfront and the entire Western New York region; A" y U Now Therefore Be It Resolved: That this Common Council goes on record in support of a Great Lakes themed Inner Harbor Aquarium, featuring both fresh and saltwater tanks and exhibits, at the Memorial Auditorium site; and Be It Further Resolved: That an Inner Harbor Aquarium committee be established to further look into bringing a world -class aquarium to Buffalo's waterfront; and Be It Further Resolved: That copies of this resolution be sent to New York State Senators Schumer and GiIlibrand, to Congressman Brian Higgins, Mayor Byron Brown, to the Commissioner of Strategic Planning, Law Department and to the entire WNY Senate and Assembly delegation for their comments and suggestions. Be It Finally Resolved: That this item be sent to the appropriate committee for further discussion. Bonnie E.
