Buffalo's Kensington Expressway project halted by temporary restraining order due to environmental concerns, with hearings on October 25.

A state Supreme Court judge in Buffalo has issued a temporary restraining order halting the $1 billion Kensington Expressway project, which aims to construct a tunnel under a highway. The order, requested by the East Side Parkways Coalition amid environmental concerns, remains in effect until a hearing on October 25. Opponents, including the NYCLU, argue the project lacks a thorough environmental review and may harm local communities. Governor Hochul supports the initiative.
