Do you work downtown? The City of Rochester wants downtown workers to take their "commuting" survey . 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 and forward it to your co-workers. Plans for downtown are being made. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO HAVE YOUR SAY.
