Old Michigan Avenue Bridge (South Michigan ave. lift bridge), taken down in the early 1960's. This bridge connected the Outer and Inner harbors of Buffalo for many years, a replacement bridge at this same spot would be more practical than the two lane bridge being proposed currently by our elected officals and non-profit waterfront commision! Let's tell our leaders how we feel!!
