But but but traffic on Old Liverpool Road, they'll sputter.

Never mind that they chose to live way up there and rely on cars to access the city with the knowledge that the county and the state have been playing hot potato with this road (with an eye toward shutting it down or reducing lanes) for decades. This lane reduction almost happened five years ago, and I expect it to go through this time. Lipstick on a pig, but probably a functional improvement.

My pipe dream:

1) Reduce lanes through the village;
2) Remove the OLP north of the railroad bridge and create parkland;
3) Enhance Old Liverpool Road with curbs, cycle track, and dedicated bus lane;
4) Enhance OLP south of railroad bridge as a two-lane Park Street extension with a terminus at Old Liverpool Road near former LeMoyne Manor; and
5) Sell residential building lots on the east side of this new Park Street extension, facing the park and the lake, and extend East Shore Recreation Trail along west (lake) side of street.

This would create a continuous stretch of complementary parkland and development between the Regional Market neighborhood and the village of Liverpool, finally embracing the lakefront in a pleasant, people-centric way.
