On March 17th 2023, following his successful push to secure $55 million for the redesign of Buffalo’s Kensington Expressway from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act’s Reconnecting Communities Program, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer brought Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to Buffalo to see firsthand how the proposed Kensington Expressway transformation can serve as a national model and meet with community members. With Buffalo among the first in the nation to tap this historic funding from the Reconnecting Communities program, Schumer said that Buttigieg’s visit marked a very significant step forward for the effort to rectify the division, public health damage and inequality created by the original expressway through adjacent communities.
