BUFFALO, NY-- Linking Buffalo's Inner and Outer Harbor is the goal of the Buffalo Harbor Bridge Project.  Environmental and engineering studies, comments from 60 public meeting as well as state and federal input resulted in two possible crossing alternatives. 

Citizens are getting the opportunity to walk through the proposed bridge locations with the Project Manager.  On Tuesday, July 12th at 6pm, interested citizens were taken on a tour and given an explanation of the Erie Street location.

On Wednesday, July 13th at 6:00pm, the second location, the Central Wharf, will be toured.  That's located at the foot of Main Street behind HSBC Arena.

A Buffalo Public School employee and her husband have been chosen by NASA's Johnson Space Center among 30 @NASA Twitter followers to test their skills at space shuttle ascent, rendezvous or landing aboard the same simulator astronauts use to train for their missions.

On Tuesday, July 19, during space shuttle Atlantis' STS-135 mission to the International Space Station, City Honors School’s International Baccalaureate Diploma Program Coordinator Elissa M. Banas, Esq. will get a behind-the-scenes tour at Johnson Space Center in Houston, and a hands-on opportunity aboard the space shuttle simulator to take control in a training scenario.

Ms. Banas is the type of person who constantly encourages students to dream and live large.  And on the basis of one little Tweet, not only is Banas going to live out a dream, but true to form, her next thought was, “I'll have some great information to share with our science students.”
