Public Space Management:

Horticulture: The presence of trees and plantings
are critical to the public’s enjoyment of Downtown.
Although Downtown Buffalo did not lose many trees
during the “October Surprise” snow storm of 2006,
the crew was kept busy for several weeks pruning
damaged trees and removing downed limbs
throughout the district and adjacent areas.

Rotary Rink/Fountain Plaza:
The Operations Department supplies personnel to
maintain the ice and clean the public portions of the
Rotary Rink atrium. Additionally, Operations
personnel sets-up chairs and tables for birthday
parties and other special events held at Rotary Rink. Buffalo Place also maintains the fountain and reflecting pool during the summer months, skimming, draining and refilling each on a regular basis.
