So, I went to an event this afternoon hosted by NYSDOT about the new Amtrak Exchange Street station renderings. To put it simply, they are building on place of the current station, the new depot will be much improved, a single side high-level platform with a new plaza to help get people from there to Erie Canal Harbor Station of the Metro Rail. I've got some more interesting news. The signage will be brown instead of Amtrak blue. I'm a little surprised by this and hoping it's a render's error. The depot will have a ticket window, Taste NY display, pictures of the older Exchange Street station before 190 was built, and what I believe is a photo of the Erie East Buffalo station. Strangely there is not a single picture of Buffalo Central Terminal in it. Also, unlike Rochester, which was rebuilt, the station will be accessible when trains are not arriving.
So that's the renderings. The back of the piece they gave us noted construction in the Fall of 2018 and completion by 2020.

I didn't get into teaching for the promotions or the pension plans or so I could get to the golf course by 3:45. I did it because I wanted to help you kids. I'd forgotten that, till today. -- Principal Peter Prickly.
