Tuesday Headlines: Big Buffalo Huncho Edition
Buffalo is the third-poorest city in the country, and GObike Buffalo‘s new executive director, Kevin Heffernan, thinks its car dependency is a big reason why. In a wide-ranging conversation with Streetsblog Empire State, Heffernan — who’s led the group since taking over as interim director in December — lays out why one in three East Side households doesn’t own a car, why Mayor Sean Ryan’s administration, fresh off its push to remake the Niagara Square roundabout, has been the most engaged City Hall the org has worked with since 2010, and why GObike is finally breaking ground this fall on its long-delayed East Side Trails project. He also gets into the messy state of e-bike politics in Albany, where he says lawmakers keep conflating dangerous e-motos with the pedal-assist bikes that are “the greatest thing that’s happened to cycling in so long,” plus how GObike is trying to stay out of the social-media crossfire between police and cyclists.
