I (and many others) just received this e-mail from Senator Maziarz's office...
Dear Friend,
You may have heard that the NYS Department of Transportation was thinking of closing the rail crossings at Orchard Street in Middleport and Prospect Street in Gasport to vehicular traffic.
I'm very pleased to report to you that this is not going to happen.
Last year many local residents spoke out against these closings because they would have disrupted traffic patterns and made it more difficult for first responders and law enforcement officials to respond to emergencies.
Fortunately, the bureaucracy at the DOT has seen it our way and relented. We successfully convinced them that keeping these crossings open was in the public's best interest.
Sincerely,
George Maziarz
Senator, 62nd District
P.S. I hope this good news finds you well this holiday season. Please accept my best wishes for a healthy and happy 2009!
