Reshaping Rochester

After the Inner Loop: What Next

March 9th @ 5:30pm

Join us as Norman examines the system of thinking and planning that conceived of flawed projects such as the Inner Loop and the acres of parking that gobbled up much of downtown. He will look at how other cities have had success in overcoming auto centric thinking and have gradually evolved into cities for people rather than for cars. The success of these communities provides a roadmap that can guide and inspire Rochester as it plans for the future it desires!
