Dear all knowing, please provide these timely answers to this community: With the now, soon to be Discovery Square #2 , will there continue to be a need for the public-owned and funded Bioscience facility as well as the publicly funded RAEDI? What businesses have come out of RAEDI that have provided jobs that have stayed within this community? Secondly, is the plan to extend 11th Avenue Southwest south to connect with historic Pill Hill as a portion of a traffic routing option still on the table as an option?

There’s a saying about downtown Rochester in the 1970s and early 1980s: if someone set off a loaded cannon on the corner of Fourth Street and First Avenue, the ball would sail through the air a long time before it struck anything.
The lack of activity was a symptom of spiking interest in the “cornfield” communities, which offered bountiful parking spaces and plots exponentially cheaper than what developers could acquire in the city’s center. Retail powerhouses migrated to surrounding malls, leaving the downtown gutted.
“If you were walking down Broadway, it was almost like a ghost town,” said Terry Spaeth, assistant city administrator.
