Buffalo's Cobblestone District air quality reflects the historic South Buffalo waterfront entertainment district, with vehicle traffic on the surrounding Ohio Street corridor and the concentrated event venue traffic contributing local sources. The Buffalo River provides limited ventilation, while the neighbourhood's walkable historic character and Lake Erie's regional lake winds provide background ventilation and the Cobblestone District generally maintains moderate Buffalo readings throughout most of the year.
