Rochester Active Transportation Connections: Linking with 2nd Street SW
The City of Rochester is working to expand safe and convenient walking, bicycling and rolling (e.g., other mobility devices like scooters and wheelchairs) connections to and from the 2nd Street SW Corridor and the planned Link Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). We hope to learn from you through this process.
Register for the upcoming Active Transportation Summit on Saturday, August 10th.
Three phases
Insight – The process of discovery
- Creating partnerships, public engagement, and special events to support this effort.
- Engaging people to identify active travel barriers and opportunities for improvement along priority routes within a mile of the 2nd Street SW Corridor.
Ideate – Turning key insight into actions
- Exploring the active transportation infrastructure toolbox for techniques that can alleviate the barriers identified within the study area.
Iterate – Putting the plan together
- Installing a demonstration project to test new concepts.
- Finalizing high-quality and public-supported street concepts that enable the City of Rochester to move forward with complete streets infrastructure projects supporting the 2nd Street SW Corridor.

We need your help
We need your help identifying how we can make walking, bicycling and rolling more comfortable, accessible and equitable transportation options in Rochester. We welcome your input and look forward to our active transportation future.
Rochester Active Transportation Map
Focus on the three priority corridors (shown in purple) that connect to the 2nd Street SW Link BRT Corridor. The proposed Link BRT route is shown in orange and the proposed transit stops are shown by orange circles. Use the “plus sign icon” to the left to add pins on the map and consider these questions while placing your pins:
- What walking or biking challenges might you face along each of the three priority corridors (shown in purple)?
- Which of the three corridors would you choose to improve first and why?
Existing infrastructure is shown on the map to help you answer the questions above—priority corridors in purple and the BRT route and stops in orange .
You can also share any information you think will be helpful on our questions tool as we continue developing the plan.
