RTS Transit Center Design Checklist… TAKE ONE!

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

On Thursday, February 10, 2011, RGRTA will be hosting its Second Public Design Review Workshop inviting members of the community to review and react to design options for the RTS Transit Center external link. This public review will take place at the Radisson Inn Riverside external link and the doors will be open to everyone from 6:00-7:30 pm.

Ideas and comments on the initial designs were taken by RGRTA at the RTS Transit Center Public Design Review Workshop external link (September 15, 2010) and the Rochester City Council Public Forums (April 27, and May 5th, 2010).

The volunteers at Reconnect Rochester have compiled this handy checklist for YOU (the public) to use as a guide to assess how well public comments were received and integrated into the newly proposed designs. Print it, share it, and use as a starting point to form your own opinions and ask the important questions…

This is a compilation of some of the public input collected by RGRTA on the design of the Mortimer Street RTS Transit Center. Use this handy checklist to form your analysis of the final Transit Center designs.

Follow Reconnect Rochester on Facebook external link for updates on the RTS Transit Center and other local transportation projects and public meetings.

Your Chance to Voice Your Support for a Streetcar Loop

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

The City of Rochester is conducting an online survey for the downtown workforce to provide information on their commuting habits, preferences, and opinions. TAKE THE SURVEY. PLEASE.Do you work downtown? The City of Rochester wants downtown workers to take their “commuting” survey external link. But this survey is about way more than just parking. The City is considering the possibility of a “circulator” system (i.e. Shuttle Buses or Trolley/Streetcars) to move people around downtown.

Although the survey only mentions RTS Buses and Shuttle Buses as options for mass transit commuters, there is a comment box on the very last page. This is your opportunity to voice support for a downtown streetcar circulator. We want the City to give strong consideration to the impact that a streetcar line could have on economic development in Rochester. A shuttle bus is a nice idea but will have the same effect. So be sure to leave a comment in that final box!

Read Rochester’s Case for a Streetcar Line, then PLEASE take the survey external link and forward it to your co-workers. Plans for downtown are being made. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO HAVE YOUR SAY.

PLEASE PLEASE take the survey! external link
