DOT Leader Declines to Weigh in on Grand Island Tolls

By Eileen Buckley

Buffalo, NY – The leader of the State Department of Transportation appeared in Buffalo Wednesday.

WBFO News asked DOT Commissioner Astrid Glynn if she would weigh in on the proposed legislation that could soon appear before the State Legislature. The idea is to move the stretch of the 190 to the DOT so it would free up funds and allow for an end to the Grand Island Tolls. But Glynn says she is not ready to take a stance on this issue.
