BUFFALO, N.Y. — A public meeting and workshop has been scheduled to get input on the north section of the old Memorial Auditorium site.
The meeting will take place on June 18. Officials will be on hand to discuss the design for street and parking facilities.
The state is providing $10 million in funding to help transform that section by creating walkable areas, parking and underground infrastructure.
“We are looking to reintroduce elements of the historic street pattern that once traversed the Erie Canal at what we now call the North Aud Block,” said Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation Chairman Robert Gioia in a released statement. “We welcome the public’s input as we begin the planning and design stage of this important project.”
The public meeting and workshop will be held at the Pavilion at Canalside on Tuesday, June 18, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. There will be a short presentation at 6 p.m.
