I could get behind any and all of these proposals to bring Rochester into the 21st Century.
1. Light rail okay, yeah
2. a…a what? a canal in downtown? fill the inner loop with water to make a venice in america? what? why? people…drive there….And has anyone looked at/smelled any water running through or near rochester?
3. reopening a restaurant that was iconic in the 70s will help bring us into this century ok
4. new amtrak and bus terminal. okay. that is probably a good idea.
5. an observation deck on the xerox tower? really?
How about instead of a fucking 100-300 million dollar urban canal we spend 100-300 million dollars on the rochester city school district. maybe instead of focusing on tourists, the people that live in the suburbs, and vast amount of college students we could do some things to actually help the people who actually live in the city. and i dont mean the hipsters in the south wedge.
really? an urban canal?
