As part of its Comprehensive Plan, Rochester 2034, the City studied which major streets have the best potential for "transit supportive development" in Rochester. Transit supportive development encourages a mix of complementary activities and destinations (e.g., housing, work, shopping, services, and entertainment) along major streets and centers. Transit supportive development helps create compact, vibrant communities where it’s easier for people to walk, bike, and use public transit to get around.
