The Buffalo Urban Development Corporation (BUDC) is requesting proposals from experienced design, planning, and engineering firms for the temporary redesign of the intersection at Commercial Street and Marine Drive, and the surrounding area. BUDC seeks a firm, or team, that is positioned to undertake the design, planning and implementation phases necessary to complete this project. This intersection is a major gateway to Buffalo’s Canalside District. Currently, the intersection poses significant safety challenges that need to be addressed promptly and effectively. As several key construction projects are underway in the immediate vicinity, BUDC envisions improvements to this intersection through temporary low-cost interventions that incorporate public art (asphalt and/or concrete murals) and improved walkability, wayfinding and traffic calming. BUDC envisions that collectively, these types of interventions will culminate in an improved sense of place. BUDC intends for this project to help residents and visitors navigate Buffalo’s waterfront more safely and to enhance the waterfront’s sense of place as several major construction projects take place in the vicinity. Buffalo’s“ Canalside” welcomes over 2million visitors annually.
