Next in the Wear to Where<\/a> series, we look to the Irondequoit Bay Outlet Bridge. For years this span of 180 feet has been less of a unifier than a divider in this community, but Senator Chuck Schumer has an idea (or rather wants someone to come up with an idea) that could change that permanently…<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>
\nThis past week, Senator Chuck Schumer called for $70,000 in federal funds to study ways that both boats and cars can get though the narrow Irondequoit Bay outlet. Since the current bridge opened in 1998 it has been an imperfect solution to a vexing problem for all involved. From November to April, the bridge is open and the beach communities of Irondiquoit and Webster are connected. But from April to November, the bridge is moved aside and boats flow between these two towns. <\/p>\n

\"Schumer<\/a>
\n\u201cRight now, this situation is a lose-lose,\u201d said Schumer. “The boaters are unhappy half the year. The motorists and the businesses are unhappy half the year.”<\/p>\n

\"Senator<\/a>
\nIndeed, in many ways it is a classic urban planning problem that pits the needs of residents, businesses and visitors against one another. Senator Schumer has called for a federal study, but it may be a good place to begin a larger discussion within our community about our priorities.<\/p>\n
