UConn James Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Higgins said the cost of tunneling under the Niagara Thruway — some $20 million more than simply rebuilding the elevated ramp — should come from $25 million in federal aid he helped secure for community enhancements to the Peace Bridge neighborhood. Woo hoo! A cool $20M (and you know it's going to be 10 times that) for a view. Thanks for spending our money wisely, NY --- as ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hopefully they can hire the same contractors that buried I-95 in Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 How about building the freakin Bridge before we spend another 10 years "studying" a Tunnel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Woo hoo! A cool $20M (and you know it's going to be 10 times that) for a view. Thanks for spending our money wisely, NY --- as ever! The "look" of the project is not a small issue. Over the life of the tunnel $20M is chump change. On this one, I agree with the preservationists.

a player to be named later Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Tunnel is a good idea in my opinion... Just get it done already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 As I read it, this is not propsing a tunnel under the river, just under the 190. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this one, I agree with the preservationists. Agreed. If all it takes to get the damn thing built is a $20MM tunnel, then just do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMannn Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 As I read it, this is not propsing a tunnel under the river, just under the 190. Right. It is not to Canada, just under the 190. And while this short section MAYBE helps the view, you still cannot get within probably 1,000' of the river Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
