The attraction to Park Ave is pretty big now, and could be huge. There are some down sides, parking and driving in the area would be more difficult.

	+ * Crazy idea for Midtown: turn it into housing. Each of the individual stores could become a condo, add a private entrance, cut off public access, add skylights / greenhouses. Tear down McCurdy tower. Good parking abounds, this is not such a crazy idea, but too late now. That great wide balcony is like an Italian Palazzo. You'd have to preserve a throughfare for those connecting from Xerox tower to Seneca Tower.

	+ * Continued development of the [http://www.cs.rit.edu/usr/local/pub/jeh/Trails/AuburnTrail/ Rochester-Auburn Trail] from Pittsford to Highland/590, plus new on-street and in-park bike routes so riders can go from Schoen Place, up through Cobbs Hill and Highland Park (where, technically, bikes are only allowed on the roads - lame), through (or around) Mt. Hope Cemetary, and on to downtown or back to the canal via the Genessee Valley Trail. It would link canal tourism more strongly to the city, and would be great for charity rides.
