BB; you have a lovely historic home. Are you saying that in order to ‘improve’ the west side, you have to sacrifice a home that you have cared for and invested in – so should other responsible homeowners who love their home, neighborhood and don’t want to leave? I’m confused by your logic. Please explain….

I would never give you people a hint. It may be right next door to you. I have a right to my opinion about the Plaza. I not doing it to cashout. I have lived in the Westside all my life and I want to see it improved and cleaned-up.

It would be nice if you could give us a hint as to where you would be moving. Just in case you decided that you didn’t like your new home. I would hate to see another neighborhood demolished so you can cash-out on “the lotto”.

I do cut my grass and plant flowers and that is not any of your business. That will stop when the house is torn down and that is really none of your business. I do not intend to move to the suburbs, so don’t hold your breath.

Ms. Battista,

Are you the same person who continues to shout out obscenities and harasses your neighbors as you drive by their homes just because they are willing to fight for the right to stay in their own home and live in a community they love?
Maybe you forgot that Buffalo is the City of Good Neighbors!

Oh…..you say your moving to the suburbs-we’ll miss you!

Dear Ms. Battista – it has been 1 year, 9 months and 9 days since Ron Rienas announced plans to expand the truck plaza.

If I were you, I’d mow your lawn, plant some flowers, sit back and enjoy your wonderful historic house. A sold out tour will be passing by your home several times this summer. In fact, they would love to see your house since you seem so determined to destroy it one way or another.

The PBA has known all along that this particular plan would not fly on the historic level, but in their arrogance has pursued it to the detriment of this area, especially the area closest to the current plaza. Some of these homeowners understandably want to sell out and leave, but many of us see a way to prevent further harm to the entire neighborhood by opposing this particular plan and ensuring a plan that works for all of us. When agreement is finally reached on the best plan for the Niagara region, the uncertainty we all live with will finally pass and we can get on with the healing.

The Buffalo News didn’t print any articles because this finding is not significant and the Peace Bridge Authority was well aware of this decision. Why don’t this special groups face the fact that the plaza is going to happen. Who would be interested in touring a deteriorated neighbhood?????

Thank you Geoff and Artvoice for staying on top of this story. I hope it is obvious that Artvoice and not the Buffalo News is willing to risk printing the facts behind the politically charged proposed truck plaza expansion.

Stay tuned. There will be more ground breaking news in the very near future!
