Stop Walgreens on Delaware Ave. in Buffalo, NY
Sign Now
We, the undersigned citizens, voters, and taxpayers of Buffalo, NY, oppose the destruction of an intact, authentically urban commercial block at Gates Circle to build a Walgreen's pharmacy.
We are satisfied that the neighborhood is adequately served by an existing drugstore one block away.
We argue that the rich architectural heritage, appealing pedestrian scale, and existing small businesses of Delaware Avenue will be irreparably damaged by the imposition of a out-of-scale, suburbanesque, big box retail store.
We demand that our elected and appointed officials block this assault on Buffalo's most historic boulevard and that Walgreens instead select one of our many "shovel ready sites."

Why destroy a successful, occupied block? I was sick when I read about this in the paper.

Gates Circle is a unique architectural site in the city: a Walgreens at that location will damage the beauty and history of Buffalo

look around gates circle, nearly everything built there in the last fifty years looks blighted and seedy, it is only the older achetecture that makes this area vibrant and satisfying to visit and live in. walgreens will look just as bad in a short period

As a neighbor, we have already destroyed enough of that fabric. Keep in mind this bounds a major cirlce within the original city plan.

Why is this blatant destruction of intact, fully occupied buildings even being considered for a Walgreens site? This will only further degrade the location when accompanied with two ugly service stations. The existing collection of building architectural
