Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Buffalo River, NY

The Coast Guard is proposing a change to the operating regulations governing the Michigan Avenue bridge, mile 1.3, Ohio Street bridge, mile 2.1 South Park Avenue bridge, mile 5.3, and the Conrail railroad bridges at miles 4.02 and 4.39 across the Buffalo River, all at Buffalo, NY. The proposed rule would not require drawtenders to be in constant attendance at their bridges during periods of time when there is little or no significant navigation on the river. Additionally, the City of Buffalo would be allowed to use a roving drawtender to operate the Ohio Street and Michigan Avenue bridges. This action would relieve the bridge owners of the burden of having drawtenders in constant attendance at their bridges and should still provide for the reasonable needs of navigation.
