Buffalo Mayor Ryan Proposes $94 Million Capital Budget for Infrastructure Repairs
Buffalo Mayor Sean Ryan has proposed a $94 million capital budget for 2027, aimed at repairing and rebuilding the city's infrastructure. The budget allocates $59.1 million in bonding and an additional $34.9 million in emergency bonding. Key areas targeted for improvement include roads, bridges, and roofs across the city. Specifically, $22.5 million is designated for citywide engineering improvements, $9 million for roof work at eight facilities, and $2.2 million for the West Ferry Lift Bridge. This proposal comes as part of an ongoing effort to address the city's infrastructure needs, with the Union Road bridge over Cazenovia Creek in West Seneca recently reopening after months of construction and a pause to protect a threatened fish species.
