Genesee Riverway Trail North Feasibility Study
The City of Rochester is developing an in-depth feasibility study that examines the 8.5-mile northern portion of the GRT that extends from downtown Rochester to Lake Ontario, with the goal of creating a seamless trail on both sides of the river that is accessible to all ages and abilities.
The planning process includes information gathering, mapping and data analysis, community-based research, and significant public and stakeholder engagement. To sign up for updates about input opportunities, please sign up here.
Community Engagement
Community engagement and community input is an important part of the planning process. We will be gathering community input in a few different ways:
- Public meetings
- Interviews with community members and stakeholders within the project area
- Pop-up outreach events
- Partnering with a Project Advisory Committee
Upcoming Events

Activities include LIVE music, free food, games, and tours of Lower Falls to learn about its role in the Underground Railroad, local vendors, and interactive information tables from a variety of organizations. Join the event and also learn about the City’s Genesee Riverway Trail efforts.
