  • MMPC REPORT – ROCHESTER, NEW YORK the Joint Meeting Of
    MMPC REPORT – ROCHESTER, NEW YORK The Joint Meeting of Ichthyology and Herpetology (JMIH) Meeting Management and Planning Committee (MMPC) met 12 - 14 April 2018 in Rochester, New York. Committee members: Marty Crump (Program Officer), Marlis Douglas, David Green, Henry Mushinsky (Chair), Kyle Piller, and Dustin Siegel. Cara Richardson (Kansas State University) arranged the meeting. While we will miss the American Elasmobranch Society (AES) at JMIH 2018, we are happy to report that the Canadian Herpetological Society (CHS) will be joining the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists (ASIH), the Herpetologists’ League (HL), and the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles (SSAR) in Rochester. Getting to Rochester is not difficult and numerous airlines fly to the Greater Rochester International Airport from all over the United States, and a few international locations. If you plan to drive, take note that interstate 90 through New York is a toll road so be sure to bring cash/change or you will be forced to visit the ATM at a service stop along the route. It is possible to bypass the tolls by taking alternative routes but these may slow your travel. The Rochester Riverside Hotel provides a free shuttle service that will take you to the hotel – a short distance from the airport. Use the courtesy phone in the baggage claim area to schedule a pick-up upon arriving. If waiting on a shuttle is not your cup of tea, you might consider Uber or a taxi for the 7.1 mile journey. The short taxi ride however is $24.00, so we don't recommend it.

  • Rochester Public Market – Master Plan
    CONCEPTUAL RENDERING INTERIOR OF RENOVATED SHED B ROCHESTER PUBLIC MARKET LOOKING EAST MASTER PLAN REPORT Rochester Public Market Renovations and Expansion to Wintershed Facility Master Plan Report - Executive Summary Introduction In January 2011, the City of Rochester Department of Environmental Services, Bureau of Architecture and Engineering retained a professional services and design team led by T.Y. Lin International, with PLAN Architectural Studio and Market Ventures Inc., to prepare a Master Plan and Schematic Design for comprehensive renovations and expansion of the Rochester Public Market Wintershed. The Wintershed (referred to as Shed B) is an enclosed facility of approximately 10,500 sf constructed in 1978, that exhibits deficiencies with regards to code compliance, vendor stall sizes, circulation, transparency & visibility, plumbing and HVAC. This report is the result of the collective efforts of the information gathered from multiple sources over a one-year period, outlining recommendations to accomplish the following goals set forth by the City of Rochester, the project team, and stakeholders of the Rochester Public Market (RPM): 1. Create an active market district throughout the week and year 2. Serve a wide range of customers, including low income families 3. Create expanded, modern enclosed facilities that meet the needs of current and future vendors, as well as the public (including additional restrooms) 4.
