From Rumor to Conception
At the August 1, 2016 Meeting of the Rochester Planning Commission, conceptual discussions were held regarding the redevelopment of the Rochester Elevator site at 303 E. University Drive. The redevelopment proposal includes 42 condominium units and the relocation of the Elevator building.

The topic will be discussed further at the Rochester City Council Meeting on Monday, August 8, 2016, 7:00 pm at the Rochester Municipal Building. It should be noted that the City of Rochester does not own the property at 303 E. University or the Elevator building.
Rochester Media had a chance to talk with the folks at the Rochester Elevator a couple weeks ago. We were informed that the last time a deal was in the works, it fell through. And, while a sale of the property is sure to happen, nothing should happen until after winter according to the staff of the elevator.
Read the Community Edge report, Condos to Replace Rochester Elevator Location, from March.

That is a stupid idea. Why add more traffic and congestion to a street and corner that are a danger to cars and people now.
Any other thing to take away Rochester’s dwindling charm and get on the Money driven “development” bandwagon. What is being developed for those of us that live here now?
I do NOT think this is a excellent idea. A realestate friend of mine had access to my phone and put in this comment.
I was born and raised in Rochester and hate to see “old” Rochester taken away from us.
