I disagree with them (see book, Face). But don&#8217;t worry, they disagree with me, so if you want a (not a) park at Midtown, someone is fighting hard for it for you. I will be writing at length about it in the next few weeks, so there&#8217;s not much to say here. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n<h3>Bikesharer<\/h3>\n<p>And finally, the city requested proposals for a bike share in Rochester, and lo, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rochestercitynewspaper.com\/rochester\/four-companies-vie-for-rochester-bike-share-contract\/Content?oid=2860260\" target=\"_new\">everyone<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"external link\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochestersubway.com\/images\/icon_link.gif\" width=\"15\" height=\"11\" border=\"0\"><\/a> was interested.
