By: Cindyk. Looks like not much has changed in the past 6 months, except the snow is traded for weeds, and the grafitti marks the real sign of what’s coming to this vacant lot on Seneca Street in South Buffalo ….

To continue on the infrastructure frustration, in random order, Seneca Street from Southside Parkway to Mineral Springs:

Editted as per Chili Willie’s commenting….
These are a new batch of pictures taken from Cazenovia Street to Mineral Springs and back. Posted in random order.
By: Cindyk. The other day the green street light poles were (re)painted in black on Cazenovia Street in South Buffalo,
And then I was reminded of the same green street light poles on North Legion Drive that were (re)painted 2 years ago: (pic taken day of post)
I don’t know if the City of Buffalo realizes this….. but THE RUST ALWAYS SHOWS THROUGH THE BLACK PAINT!!!!
Updated post to add Cazenovia Street pictures from last year to go along with my comment left:
The fact that these street lights are the oldest in the city, there are only so many times they can make them look new again. They are all rusted to some extent, and they all need to be replaced, not just covered up.
The rust is chipped away, metal plates are welded on to cover the rust, and then they are painted with primer. Eventually (re)painted black to cover up the “quick fix” work, so that anyone would think they are new, when all they are are quick fixes…. in two years though, the street light poles on Cazenovia will then show the same condition as those on North Legion. 
Today I took a few pictures of the casino in Cazenovia Park.
Cazenovia Street from South Legion to Abbott Rd.
By: Cindyk. I got my copy of the South Buffalo News in the mail today, in it is an article expressing how Congressman Higgins is applauding $3 million in waterfront money.
From his list of legislation issues, you can see where waterfront is its own link.
Congressman Higgins is on the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, which you can click here to read about this committee.
From a few simple pictures though, you can see the infrastructure frustration that is becoming of our area. (the problems don’t end with these pictures, there are many more streets that look like these, and worse)
The question has to be asked: Is our Congressman ignoring the infrastructure that has been neglected for too long?
This picture is not an April Fool’s joke. It is real and it’s a problem when talking about the infrastructure in the City of Buffalo. (Seneca Street at Yale Place)
Reporting this, or any pot hole lets the City of Buffalo know it’s out there, but there’s only so much a 48-hour pot hole patrol can guarantee. For every one reported, there are thousands of others all over Buffalo that aren’t. While quick fixes like filling in pot holes are temporary, the infrastructure frustration has yet to be addressed city-wide.
