Doing so would hurt the Buffalo economy and move what crime they're trying to stop to an earlier time thus including more people that could be hurt.

Please do not change the bar times to 2am because it will cause buffalo to lose a lot of tourists. Many people come to buffalo because they can enjoy the nightlife till 4am. A lot of other businesses would also lose money because of this. Please reconsider leaving the 4am bar closing so that tourist and the western new York residents can have a place to enjoy our amazing nightlife. Thank you.

Please do not close bars from 4am to 2am, business decisions should be left in the hands of business owners, not the government.

I think staying open past 4 is a good thing for Buffalo. It maintained the character of the city.

Keeping the bars open till 4 will create even more reason for people from all over the state and other close city's to come visit, Party and spend money here in Buffalo...

Closing earlier means more drunks on the road when people are still getting out of work, causing more accidents.

This would be unfair to people that work late and bad for small buisnesses that rely on weekends to make money. Just saying not fair to everyone here

There is no logical reason- neither safety or economic related- to make this change. None.

If people are going to be irresponsible and drink and drive they will do it. Regerdless of the time tou close the bar. How about you make people more responsible for there actions and have stiffer penalties for DWI'S. I know a guy who has 7 dwi's and will be able to drive again in 5 years. That is crazy when will his license be revoked? When he kills someone. I bet a closing time won't stop him from drinking and driving.

The work force in buffalo needs the time to relax. Leave us alone and let us do what we want. If your reason to change it to 2 am is to cut down on drunk driving, good luck with that. And I'm for what ever reason proud to have them open til 4 am. They shouldn't have any time restrictions. done.

I work on Chippewa and all over Buffalo and closing the bars early would put a huge dent in income for everyone that bartends and serves for a living. It isn't fair that we should lose out because some people don't know how to be responsible at ANY age. penalise THEM Not Us!
