~ The City of Rochester has been honored with three Project of the Year Awards by the Genesee Valley Branch of the American Public Works Association. The awards were presented at the 40th Annual Awards Banquet on Thursday, January 30, 2025.
In the Structures category, the City was recognized for its outstanding work on two projects - the Austin Steward Plaza and Sister Cities Bridge. The Austin Steward Plaza, formerly known as Major Charles Carroll Plaza, was renamed in 2024 to honor one of Rochester's first prominent Black business owners. The redesigned plaza offers stunning views of the Genesee River and serves as a central pedestrian hub along the Genesee Riverway Trail. The Sister Cities Bridge is a pedestrian bridge that connects the Austin Steward Plaza and Genesee Crossroads Park Downtown. The renovations included creating a fully ADA accessible link across the river, as well as installing new lighting, flagpoles, railings, and structural upgrades.

The City also received recognition in Transportation Projects for its improvements on South Avenue and Elmwood Avenue. These projects involved reconstructing two city streets and adding a new cycle track along Elmwood Avenue.
In addition to these awards, the City was also honored in the Historic Restoration/Preservation Projects category for its work on the Aqueduct District Street improvements project. This project included reconstructing streets in the area and converting Aqueduct Street to a one-way southbound roadway and Bank Place to a one-way westbound roadway. Other improvements included new sidewalks, curbs, hydrants, and lighting.
These projects were all part of Rochester's ROC the Riverway program, which aims to transform more than two dozen projects along the Genesee River. To learn more about this program and its impact on Rochester's community and infrastructure, visit ROC The Riverway website.
