Petition update - Dangerous E. River crossing

We have added an update to the petition because per our request, the town engineer has informed us of a change  to their proposal and added an unloading area on the water side of E River. This will create it's own set of problems including people doing u-turns or backing up in the unloading area to make it into the parking lot across E River. Also less room for a gradual slope for handicap access and force the launch farther into the river. It would be the only floating kayak launch on Grand Island that is exposed to direct waves from boats on the Niagara River.

 Please visit the change.org petition site to read the update.

We Thank you very  much for your supprt. Our voices are making a difference.

There is a Greenway Trail Commission Grant meeting on November 10, 2026. There is also an Erie County approval needed and town board hearing necessary.

Please help us get more signatures by posting and forwarding the petition and talking with fellow Islanders about how using the 14 acres of town owned waterfront property nearby would serve more of  the public, and will not require crossing E River road.

Thank you again for your Support from the Homeowners  and Neighbors near the proposed site.
