When the Kensington Expressway was built in the 1960s, it didn't just bring a highway to Buffalo's East Side — it destroyed Humboldt Parkway, one of Frederick Law Olmsted's crown jewels, and displaced an entire community. Decades later, East Side residents are still fighting to get it back.In this episode of The Public Good, host Dejia James of Partnership for the Public Good (PPG) sits down with Indy Walton, Eddie Quartain, and Mama Barr of the East Side Parkways Coalition — the grassroots group that successfully sued the Department of Transportation to restart the planning process for the 33. Together, they break down what full restoration of Humboldt Parkway would mean for the neighborhood, what's really happening inside those community "listening" sessions, and why accountability from elected officials is long overdue.🎙️ The Public Good Podcast, brought to you by Partnership for the Public Good, centers conversations with leaders and changemakers working toward a more just, equitable Buffalo.▶️ Subscribe for more conversations shaping the future of Western New York.
