History

Established in 2006, the board has diligently worked over the years to address concerns with our street design so that all projects, including street construction, re-construction, or maintenance projects, are reviewed and recommendations are developed to ensure it accommodates the needs all roadway users including pedestrians, bicyclists, and people with disabilities.

In 2008, the City of Buffalo passed New York State’s first complete streets policy reaffirming the board’s role in the city’s process and mandating that all street projects include bicycle and pedestrian facilities unless it exceeds 20% of the total project cost.
