Two state leaders are pushing to change the design of the Peace Bridge to help prevent drivers in Buffalo from accidentally heading to Canada.
Assemblyman Jon Rivera and Sen. April Baskin sent a letter to the Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority saying, in part, that a ramp carrying traffic from Porter Avenue to the plaza mistakenly directs up to 20 drivers per day over the Peace Bridge.
“As many as 20 drivers every day are unintentionally forced across an international border simply because of a confusing roadway design. In the current political climate, that mistake can carry serious, even life-altering consequences. No one should fear detention or interrogation because they trusted their GPS or made a wrong turn. This is a fixable problem, and it needs to be fixed now,” Rivera said…
