BUFFALO, N.Y. — Some residents from the Humboldt Parkway neighborhood continued their push against the Kensington Expressway project.
Demonstrators with signs reading "no toxic tunnel" gathered Saturday morning along East Ferry, protesting the state's plan to convert a below-grade section of the 33 into a tunnel. Some people believe that would be bad for the environment and cause health problems for those living on Buffalo's East Side.
"Putting in a three-quarter mile fake park atop three feet of soil, sitting atop a three-quarter mile toxic tunnel, that's not a solution for getting people healthy," Sherry Sherrill, director of the East Side Collaborative Partnership, told 2 On Your Side during Saturday's event.
"The only sane, logical, and reasonable, rational, and decent solution is to remove the expressway."
This was just one of several rallies which have been held in opposition to the project.
