Roaming the River: Exploring Rochester's Changing Riverfront

  • Rundell Memorial Building 115 South Avenue Rochester, NY, 14604 United States (map)

Event Description: Join Genesee River Alliance and City of Rochester officials for a ROC the Riverway project update and guided walk on March 28.

We’ll begin at the Rundel Memorial Building (115 South Avenue) with a look at the Rundel Library North Terrace, a completed riverfront improvement that enhances public access and views along the Genesee River. From there, we’ll walk north along the river to learn about several completed and pending ROC the Riverway projects, including the Sister Cities Bridge improvements, Genesee Crossroads Park plans, the Aqueduct Reimagined and Riverfront Promenades project, which is currently in the design phase. The entire walk will be approximately 1.5 miles long, ending right back at the Rundel Memorial Building.

The tour will be led by Jeff Mroczek, Senior Landscape Architect and David Riley, Principal Transportation Specialist, with the City of Rochester, who will share insights about how these projects are transforming downtown’s riverfront and strengthening connections between neighborhoods and the Genesee River.

All ages and abilities are welcome on this guided, family-friendly walk.

The walk starts at 10 and will end at approximately 11:30 am. Register for the event using the button below. Please be advised, there are a limited number of spots and the walk could fill up quickly.
