Are the renderings still the same as the last time we saw it?

Don't one of the Chafoulias developers basically own that entire piece of broadway? If so, it wouldn't surprise me if they extended the Galleria/University Square into the old Michael's space.

Fixing 494/35 will solve that specific area. A few years ago, an auxiliary lane was added WB between 494 and highway 100. One problem is, the bottleneck is now between France/100. 494/35 sometimes has backups, but not generally (at least in my current experiences). Then, there is a bottleneck (wors...

Hopefully that open house today brings forth some new information on what's going to be happening downtown.

A recent post from Rochester's PostBulletin claims that demolition might start soon for the 23 story Broadway At Center Tower in downtown Rochester! It's about time too, as the building was announced ages ago. http://www.postbulletin.com/news/local/answer-man-mayo-has-no-plans-yet-for-old-lourdes/ar...

Apparently there's going to be an open house this Thursday taking place within the historic Conley-Maass Building regarding its renovation and the Discovery Square portion of the Destination Medical Center plan.

But this is Rochester so let's stick to Rochester stuff okay? yeah, I'll remember that the next time I poke fun at a place I used to live and where some...

Honestly I kinda like it. It's much brighter. I was thinking the exact same thing. One thing I've noticed about this is that on every Facebook post or StarTribune article posted, people are less concerned about the switch from pavers to poured concrete than they are about the fact that buses and ta...
