Rochester‘s Main Street Improvement Project is one of those uniquely successful ventures that clearly adds up to more than the sum of iis parts. A large "part" was a massive public works project to modernize the street and utility infrastructure in support of $400 million spent in private downtown development. SmithgroupJJR served as the lead in a multi-disciplinary team of urban designers, traffic planners, public space planners and engineers to create a transit enhancement program that would make downtown more convenient for bus riders, motorists and pedestrians alike.
The transit and pedestrian improvements for Rochester‘s Main Street grew from the need to better balance the use of the street by people, buses and cars |JK provided the urban design expertise to sort out conflicts occurring on the street and design streetscape improvements to create distinct settings for shopping, strolling, bus waiting, special events, public transit and private vehicles. This responds to merchant and business concerns, transit authority needs, and long range development potentials of the downtown.
Funded by the Urban Mass Transit Administration (UMTA), the State of New York, and the City of Rochester, this project became a landmark in the history of transit funding. The JJR team persuaded UMTA to abandon its policy of funding for "bus only‘ streets in urban centers. With this decision, it could acheive a truly mixed-use street with continued urban vitality.
