Inner Loop East - Support

Rochester Expresses its Enthusiastic Support

The idea of filling in the Inner Loop Expressway had been discussed in the community as early as 1990. As the facility has deteriorated over the years, support from surrounding neighborhoods, business owners, developers, and real estate firms grew substantially. Transforming the sunken Inner Loop from a barrier to a beautiful, high-quality street benefits the entire community. 

Support from the Community

The following are letters to United States Secretary of Transportation, Ray LaHood, in support of the City's Inner Loop East project. These letters were penned by local neighborhood associations, business associations, elected officials, property developers, and more. They illustrate the deep and varied community support that stood behind filling in the Inner Loop East. This project was completed in 2017.  For information on the Inner Loop North Transformation Project, please visit www.innerloopnorth.com
