6 connect A new system of roads, pedestrian circulation, and transit define the framework for the urban grid and create a flexible layout of open space and parcels that are adaptable to the market and of a walkable scale.
Restore, Connect, Transform, Engage A new road and urban street system will connect RiverBend to its surroundings, to downtown, and make links to the regional economy. A comprehensive green infrastructure plan will restore damaged ecosystems and allow the riverfront to be used and appreciated by the local community. Over three million square feet of new development will transform the vacant site into an active engine of job creation for the region. Finally, the site will again engage the local community, working together with the City and other partners to reposition Buffalo for the future. 7 Connect The master plan for RiverBend envisions a transformation in scale for this former industrial site, from the massive infrastructure of the industrial era to a more human-scaled community that connects to early master planning efforts for the city, to the city’s urban grid, and to the residential neighborhoods to the east. Memories of those historical, industrial icons remain, but the overall experience of the site will be a contemporary and sustainable community, unlike anywhere in or around Buffalo. A new system of roads, pedestrian circulation, and bus transit define the framework for the urban grid and create a flexible layout of parcels that are adaptable to meet the market and at a walkable and human scale.
