Brooks Village Development Project
I attended a meeting tonight at St. Monica Church about the Brooks Village Development Project. This project, which has been in the works for a couple of years, will make Genesee Street, from Brooks to Cottage a more pedestrian friendly area, more like a village than a main drag. There will be renovations to the streets and crosswalks, and fancy streetlights will be added to increase safety. The streets will be redesigned in such a way as to reduce traffic, as well.
Some residents of the area were concerned about the traffic ramifications, and I had a few questions of my own regarding accessibility. Afterwards, I spoke with Paul Way, Manager of the Street Design Project for the City of Rochester. He will send me all of the announcements for upcoming projects, and we will work together to address some concerns regarding truncated domes in curb cuts. I will keep you abreast.
