In general, the soils underneath the Greenway tend to be gravelly or silty clay loam. The entire trail is fairly level, with the majority of slopes being less than five percent. A complete, narrative description of the soils can be found in Appendix F Natural Resources Flora A complete biological inventory of Greenway property is not presently available (October 2013). However, SUNY Geneseo botany students began to inventory flora within sections of the corridor.

  • Tom Laduca ‘72 - a Park Avenue Pioneer
    Tom LaDuca ‘72 - A Park Avenue Pioneer ochester’s Park Avenue simply isn’t what it used to be. That’s not to Rsuggest there’s anything wrong along this trendy thoroughfare—quite the contrary. The evolution of Park Avenue over the years makes it one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods. Tom LaDuca ‘72 had a big impact on that transformation. As the owner of Hogan’s Hideaway, the College of Business alumnus helped launch a casu- ally elegant style of dining that makes the area a popular destination. His restaurant offers a wide-ranging menu, with items made from scratch on premises. But LaDuca says high quality food is only part of the experience. People enjoy coming to Hogan’s and Park Avenue to take in the eclectic mix of commercial and residential activity. “You can’t get the atmosphere—that certain ambiance—at the suburban chain restaurants,” explains LaDuca. “What you do get there is consistency. Walk into any chain, and you can sit in Tom LaDuca ‘72 and daughter Kelly Marie ‘03 pose in front of Hogan’s Hideaway. the same place, look at the same picture.

    PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR TRANSPARENCY, COMMENTS IN THIS REPORT ARE NOT EDITED AND MAY CONTAIN OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE. Resp. ID Comments Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 1 No Yes Yes Yes Unsure Yes Panhandling has gotten out of control throughout the city. This acutely affects quality of life for city residents and also presents a horrible image to people who live outside the city who we depend on to patronize our businesses. This should be top priority for City Hall. In order to discourage this behavior, the punishment should be drug/alcohol rehabilitation and/or mental health 3 counseling. Yes Yes Yes No Yes Let the police accountability board operate with it's full authority, including 5 disciplinary powers, like the residents voted for them to do. Yes Yes Unsure Yes No Actively try to reduce poverty in Rochester in conduction with better 6 policing reform Yes Yes Yes Yes Unsure Reallocation of funds in the city budget, specifically I saw that new departments were being built in areas. It is far more important to put those resources into areas that would benefit from it. Police’s role in our communities is too broad and should be narrowed down. Furthermore The police agencies within Monroe County should all reexamine the hiring standards for police officers (Bachelor’s degree at minimum). Modern policing develops a culture of rewarding silence. There needs to be a negotiation with the police unions to not only prevent officers from being rehired, but also come up with a form of licensure for officers so that if they violate the terms of their duty then they have their license revoked.
