Remember the Erie Canal song?

I’ve never seen the Erie Canal. Can they turn it in to a trucks only highway?

You asked if the Erie Canal can be turned into a “highway”.

It would be much cheaper and quicker if Obama, using his power as America’s most powerful “word-smith”, simply re-defined “The New York Thruway” as “The Erie Canal”.

Then the former “Erie Canal” could be abandoned.

Low bridge, everybody down! I remember the song from grade school.

Then the former REAL “Erie Canal” (all three of them) could be abandoned.

I have taken rides on the canal, fascinating history all up and down “From Albany to Buffalo”.

Ummm.....its water. Kind of hard to drive on it.

But seriously, it looks like a river with the occasional lock. I90 is right next to it most of the way to Buffalo.
