BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) -- The section of Main Street in Downtown Buffalo has been closed to traffic for decades, though recent talks have suggested reopening that section to bring more people downtown.

One school of thought has been that closing Main Street off to traffic has killed business downtown as less people can get there.
