Work to begin on Niagara Falls Boulevard lighting to improve safety

Work is scheduled to start Tuesday to light up a busy – and too often dangerous – stretch of Niagara Falls Boulevard in Amhert with the aim of improving safety for pedestrians and drivers alike. The Town of Amherst is embarking on a $2.2 million project on the east side of Niagara Falls Boulevard that includes installing 104 streetlights between the I-290 ramps and Creekside Drive, said Amherst Supervisor Brian J. Kulpa. Work will continue into December.
