Higgins said the cost of tunneling under the Niagara Thruway — some $20 million more than simply rebuilding the elevated ramp — should come from $25 million in federal aid he helped secure for community enhancements to the Peace Bridge neighborhood.

 

Woo hoo! A cool $20M (and you know it's going to be 10 times that) for a view.

 

Thanks for spending our money wisely, NY --- as ever!

The "look" of the project is not a small issue. Over the life of the tunnel $20M is chump change. On this one, I agree with the preservationists.

Agreed. If all it takes to get the damn thing built is a $20MM tunnel, then just do it.

As I read it, this is not propsing a tunnel under the river, just under the 190.

 

Right. It is not to Canada, just under the 190. And while this short section MAYBE helps the view, you still cannot get within probably 1,000' of the river
