Any progress reports from Rochester, NY regarding the proposed vintage trolley line along the shore of Lake Ontario and preservation of the Hojak swing bridge over the Genessee River?

Website <www.rochestertrolley.com> is not current.

It was never more than a pipe dream by one or two individuals.
As far as I know, planning never got beyond building a webpage.
the original Hojack ROW no longer exists, houses are in the way of the proposed route.
sorry, but it will never happen..

(im not a pessimist, im a realist..I would love to see it happen!
but it goes against all reality..)

There are two groups, both still active, trying to bring light rail and/or trolleys to Rochester. Four years ago we helped the Rochester Rail Transit Committee evaluate the feasibility of a light rail starter system. We were able to document that a system could be built for only about $4,000,000 per mile, much less than other estimates. Below are their web site links:

These are both a long way from being reality, but we think great visionary efforts.
