The announcement is confusing, though, because the park is shown as co-existing with the development in many images, and Mark IV has already gone through the lawsuit process once (and won the right) to build. It&#8217;s unclear how a park will happen without Mark IV handing the land back over.<\/p>\n<p><H3>You Could Go with This&#8230;<\/H3>You may recall a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochestersubway.com\/topics\/2014\/11\/filling-in-midtown-parcel-5\/\" target=\"_new\">recent post<\/a> here about Parcel 5 over at Midtown.
