BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) is taking a new approach to reimagine the Kensington Expressway, launching a community-focused effort called Queen City Forward.

Unlike previous plans, NYSDOT says this project begins with listening. Residents are being asked how it impacts their daily lives, how they use the expressway and what they'd like to see for its future.

"We had a Kensington Expressway project that was in the works, we hit some snags, and we decided we were going to reset," Ryan Whalen, NYSDOT Public Information Officer, said. "And to reset, we've got to figure out what people want this project to be, and the best way is to go out and ask them."
