There is growing support from Council President Franczyk and other local politicians to have the Central Terminal become the terminus for high speed rail in Buffalo.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the WKBW news piece<\/a> that aired last night.<\/p>\n

Here is the story text from WKBW\u2019s website:<\/p>\n

The Buffalo Central Terminal was built in 1929 for high speed rail, away from downtown Buffalo. Now that piece of Buffalo\u2019s past presently has the strong possibility for the future as the hub for high speed rail once again. Mark Lewandowski is a terminal board member and says this is a dream come true. \u201cIt\u2019s a wish that we all had in the current vision of our board is to always consider rail as part of this project,\u201d said Lewandowski.<\/p>\n

Just a week ago Governor Paterson was touting a plan to use billions of federal stimulus dollars to connect New York City to Albany to Buffalo. Now some on Buffalo\u2019s common council want to make sure the final stop is at a refurbished central terminal. \u201cIt could be used as an engine of restimulation for entire (area). It\u2019s good for the City of Buffalo. It\u2019s good for the East Side. It\u2019s good for the neighborhood. This could be a spin-off affect.There could be restaurants open and people servicing the new hub thats there,\u201d said Franczyk.<\/p>\n

If it happens, it would be a rebirth of history for Lewandowski and those who have worked for more than 11 years to protect and preserve a part of buffalo\u2019s history. \u201cThe goal was, it\u2019s not about Central Terminal. It\u2019s about the community surrounding the Central Terminal be it the Broadway Market, St. Stans, Corpus Christy and all the residents that still live here that still believe in the area. How Central Terminal goes so goes the neighborhood,\u201d said Lewandowski.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
