East Side Parkways Coalition Hosts Community Conversation

Canisius professor Sue Margulis and UB post-doctoral scholar Ari Hock

Last weekend, Sue Margulis participated in an outreach event hosted by the East Side Parkways Coalition (ESP). ESP is working to shift the focus of the planned Kensington Expressway “capping” to focus more strongly on restoring Humboldt Parkway, prioritizing community health and reconnecting a neighborhood that was bisected when the expressway was built in the 1960s. Sue worked with UB post-doctoral scholar Ari Hock to record the stories of community members sharing their experiences and remembrances about the old Humboldt Parkway, and how it transformed the community and the city of Buffalo.
