Feb, 2022
The Riverfront Small Area Plan is a community-driven process to develop a market-supported vision for a central waterfront property. The site’s transformation will link together several civic, cultural and government assets to the heart of downtown Rochester and the Mayo Clinic. The plan will establish a people-centric place that leverages natural and cultural resources and supports multi-modal connectivity to adjacent areas including the Downtown.
The Riverfront Small Area Plan will be a transformative, one-of-a-kind project, which encompasses Rochester’s past as well as its future and is welcome to all. It will include vibrant public spaces, some development, and an integration of nature and the Zumbro River. As America’s City for Health, Rochester is a global medical destination. Therefore, the project will incorporate accessibility for all abilities and center human wellbeing in its design.
The consultant team, composed of Gamble Associates (lead, Urban Designers and Architects), NEOO Partners (Community Engagement and Economic Development), SWA Group (Landscape Architects), omloop (Branding and Wayfinding) is partnered with a co-design group composed of members from different communities around Rochester. Multiple public engagement events will be held for the duration of the project, beginning with this virtual series.
