Anthony neighborhood, the former factory building that was close to the landfill has been reborn as seventy-one affordable and special needs apartments.

It’s kind of amazing we haven’t looked at Charlotte Street already, but better late than never. Also, the RFP from the city is out, so there’s that. You can read the details here . Let’s just say the city is much more open minded about this proposal than the one for Midtown Parcel 5.

After the Erie Canal was rerouted south of downtown Rochester, the Rochester
Industrial & Rapid Transit Railway (the “subway”) was built in
its place as a link between the five different railroads and interurban trolley
lines that served the Rochester area. As the industrial landscape of Rochester
changed, and highways replaced the railroads, the Rochester subway gradually

its route was converted into Interstate 490 — built to connect Rochester
with the New York State Thruway (I-90). Read more about the history of the Rochester Subway.

NY, surrounding communities, and their cultural offerings. Rochester’s
future is written in her past. Let's rediscover it.
