This Walk and Roll Summit is a fun, interactive way to assess the pedestrian experience in downtown Rochester. Walking and rolling together, we will identify potential improvements to sidewalks, crosswalks, lighting, and traffic flow, while checking the pedestrian-friendliness and walkability of our downtown. Join us and influence a positive change, connect with your neighbors, enjoy fresh air & exercise, and raise awareness.
After a brief kick-off, volunteers will break into small groups. For the next hour or so, each group will walk and roll along a pre-determined route, observing and evaluating is walkability and rollability. A team leader will guide the observations using a set of worksheets. These worksheets will also document each team’s evaluations and comments along with appropriate photos.
After completing their route, participants will share their observations with local planning staff from Destination Medical Center, Rochester Downtown Alliance, and the City of Rochester.
