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.

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.
