FY 2024-28 Capital Improvement Program
dESCRIPTION
The Parks and Open Space category contains projects that preserve and enhance some of Rochester’s most treasured public spaces. These spaces throughout the community are complimented by an abundance of natural resources, which include miles of coastline along our waterways and an urban forest that is integrated throughout the city landscape. Parks and Open Space projects will preserve historic cemetery resources, maintain the public markets, improve the trail system, expand the urban forest, increase public access to the waterfront, and enhance parks, playgrounds, and recreational opportunities throughout the city.
