A proposed $90 million project to build a bowling alley at Voelker's apartments in Buffalo is facing criticism from local residents. The project would include 275 residential units and 8,237 square feet of commercial space, and would be located along Elmwood, a vibrant and eclectic neighborhood in Buffalo.
The project has been met with criticism from local residents, who are concerned about the impact of the development on the neighborhood's character and charm.

The City of Buffalo has a long history of preserving its historic neighborhoods, and the Elmwood neighborhood is no exception. The neighborhood is known for its unique shops and restaurants, and residents are concerned that the proposed development would alter the neighborhood's character and drive out long-time businesses.
The proposed development would also have significant implications for Hertel Ave small business owners, who may see an increase in foot traffic and customers. However, the development may also lead to increased competition and rising rents, which could push out long-time businesses.
The impact of the proposed development will be felt by Buffalo residents, particularly those who live and work in the Elmwood neighborhood. The development would bring new residential units and commercial space to the area, but it would also alter the neighborhood's character and charm.
Looking ahead, the Buffalo Common Council will likely play a key role in determining the fate of the proposed development. The council will need to weigh the benefits of the development, including increased tax revenue and economic growth, against the concerns of local residents and the potential impact on the neighborhood's character. The Buffalo Planning Board will also review the proposal and provide recommendations to the council.
