We asked about the zip line, but it wasn't anything that the attendees could talk about or knew about.  The 4 proposed bridges were interesting.  They would allow people to walk over the falls from the east or west sides of the gorge.  3 of the 4 had cables.  I gave the highest ratings to the one bridge that did not have cables.  Everyone I knew that attended also submitted comments stating that a wildlife/environmental study be conducted before anything was done.  As far as I could tell, this was just a preliminary meeting to invite folks to comment on what was being proposed.  It did not include Greentopia or the zip line.

Thanks to all that are keeping an eye on this nest site.  So very happy that we still have Rhea Mae and Tiago here.  Rhea Mae is now 9 years old and there are so many young falcons looking for their own territories.  Very scary.   

The City of Rochester's public informational meeting for the High Falls Pedestrian Access Improvement Study has been set for Tuesday, September 1, 2015, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM at the LaLuna Banquet Facility at 60 Brown's Race in the High Falls District.
 
The meeting will be an "open house" format with several stations that display project information and bridge design ideas.  Project consultants, LaBella Engineers and Trowbridge/Wolf/Michaels Landscape Architects, will be on hand along with city staff to answer questions and to solicit public input on the four options being considered for a new pedestrian bridge over the falls as well as other important pedestrian access issues into and through the High Falls District.

Details are posted at the City of Rochester web site.

June, Joyce, Brian, Larry O and I attended this meeting yesterday.  There were 4 proposed new pedestrian bridge concepts on display.  They were asking the public to rate them, least favorable to most favorable.  We were also asked to leave our comments about the project.  The possible zip line was not included at this meeting.

Fire on Buckingham Commons.  This is an old building that was converted into apartments/condos, just south of Kodak Office.

Thankfully Carly, there isn't much traffic at this location.  I've seen other Peregrines do this.  Always makes me a bit nervous.  He is a very handsome lad (or lass).   

Oh, no!  I missed your special day Dale!

Happy belated birthday my friend!   

Hope it was a wonderful day spent doing everything you love to do!

 

Thanks Carly!  Love her!   

Falcon at the nest tray now.  Two dark (shady) to see if juvie or adult.   

Thanks Bobbie!
