BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Restrictions on driving in every area of Erie County have been lifted.
Poloncarz announced on Tuesday morning that New York State and military police officers are being brought to the area to aid in traffic control and issuing citations. A driving advisory is still in place in areas where the ban has been lifted.
The driving ban in Buffalo City, announced by Poloncarz in a press conference on Wednesday, will remain in effect until at least 9 a.M. On Thursday as cleanup crews continue to work after the deadly blizzard that occurred just before midnight.
Starting at 7 a.M., The Town of Tonawanda and Village of Kenmore had previously announced their intention to lift their driving bans, while Orchard Park and West Seneca downgraded their driving bans to advisories on Monday.
