Is this area close to the nest boxes? Will it affect Archer and Beauty or the watchers trying to park nearby? My Rochester geography is very limited.

Dot-the 2nd picture in the article shows the nest box building on the far left...as to where exactly the digging is, I'm not clear-
I think it's the other side of the river
. Parking for the watchers is going to be a challenge from what I gather.
edit 12:16 Just looked at the map...I think I'm mistaken...the digging is behind the Times Square building a few blocks when looking at the nest box (east) side.

Parking for everyone will be a challenge. There is still the lot directly under the nest box, and a few more surrounding it, but downtown overall has a major parking problem.

I was puzzling over the article, not knowing much Rochester history. So I did some digging and I found this old map of Rochester on an Erie Canal history site. Looking at the path of the canal right through the middle of downtown it now makes sense-Broad St. was constructed over the Erie Canal-the canal even crossed the Genesee right where the Broad St. bridge is currently. I added the pink arrows along the path of the canal-the far left one is where I believe the demolition is starting.
The red star is where the Times Square building is now-corner of Exchange & Broad. One other interesting note-a lot of the streets have new names...the lower end of State St. was Carrol St. at the time.

Did you see there was a Sulphur Bath down the street from Times Square Building? Also noticed the Burying Ground. Wonder if it is still there?
