Improved Access to the Waterfront

The North District is fortunate to have some of the most beautiful waterfronts in Buffalo, which present enormous opportunities for community development and recreation. However, many of these areas are inaccessible or underutilized, and there is a need to improve public access to the waterfront. Therefore, we must prioritize creating new public spaces and amenities that will encourage people to enjoy and take advantage of the waterfronts. It will not only promote healthy living and community engagement but also contribute to the economic growth of the North District.

Ensuring Our Local Businesses Thrive

Furthermore, supporting local businesses and organizations that are working to revitalize the area is a vital step in the development of the North District. By partnering with local entrepreneurs and community groups, we can leverage the unique cultural resources and creative energy of the North District to create new opportunities for residents and visitors alike. We can also support the expansion of local businesses and initiatives that promote sustainable and responsible practices, which will benefit both the environment and the community.

Ensure Inclusivity

In addition, there is a need to ensure that the development of the waterfront is inclusive and considers the diverse needs of the community. For example, providing accessible paths and facilities, supporting multicultural programming, and preserving the historical landmarks will promote equity and ensure that everyone in the North District can benefit from the development of the waterfronts. It will also create a more vibrant and resilient community that embraces its diversity and history.
