Schumer said this will help reconstruct some of Rochester’s most dangerous intersections and roadways with pedestrian bump-outs, raised crosswalks, help build a dedicated bicycle “spine network” to link now disconnected bike lanes, add new protected bike lanes and more to give Rochester’s pedestrians and cyclists the safety they deserve.\r\n“A whopping $23 million is on its way to make safer walkable and bikeable streets across Rochester. People in Rochester love to ride their bike to work or downtown, but ask anyone and they will tell you depending on the street you are on it can be a rough ride. Rochester has seen more pedestrian and cyclist injuries and deaths due to crashes than nearly any other midsize city in the state. Rochester families should be able to walk their dogs, people should be able to bike to work and cross the street without having to worry about traffic accidents around every corner,” said Senator Schumer. “Last year, I secured $3.2 million in federal funding for Rochester to develop this road safety plan to keep pedestrians and cyclists safe. Now, I’m proud to announce $23+ million to make that plan a reality. This funding means better crosswalks, new dedicated bike lanes, and safer more modern streets for all those who use them in Rochester. I created historic funding in the Bipartisan Infrastructure & Jobs Law and I’m grateful for Mayor Evans and the City Council’s hard work creating this blueprint and am thrilled to deliver funding to make this vision a reality.”"}}
