A metro system for a Buffalo whose history went perfect. In 2020 Buffalo would have over 1.2 Million people as opposed to 250,000. The city limits now include the towns of Lackawana, Tonowanda, Cheektowaga, Williamsville, and the city of Tonawanda. The Smith-Roosevelt Canal (c. 1930), named for the two governor's who oversaw it's construction, supplanted the Welland Canal and cemented Buffalo as the major shipping port of the Great Lakes.
