Schumer today called on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to prioritize a ??project that will build a new, safer, and more durable stone barrier to shield Route 5 against crashing waters from Lake Erie during large storms. Schumer said a new barrier is critical to ensure the safety of drivers trying to access their homes, schools, and local businesses.  Without critical federal funding Schumer said drivers are at direct risk – especially during the winter, when the water freezes almost immediately creating even more dangerous conditions. In addition to the significant safety concerns, Schumer said the economic consequences are palpable: during the winter months, local official are often forced to close the roadway, cutting off vital access to over 40,000 vehicles, and hurting many local businesses who rely on traffic from Route 5.</p>"}}
