Genesee River boat launch

[paprman]

Anybody know what's going on with the boat launch on the Genesee River? At a glance it seems to be all blocked off?

[JOE ESOX]

The road is open to the launch and it is usable. Checked it out yesterday and there is a bunch of logs/debris blocking all but one of the ramps

Ok, Thanks! I was hoping they were leaving it open during all this construction.

The "money hooch" is still there and some trees are fenced off, as in being protected from the construction, so I'd guess it's still available.

I called about the season pass and they still don't know if it will be open this year or if the season pass will be good at Irondequoit.

I work for the Pike Co who is doing the work at the port. The launch has to remain clear and open during the construction project. Pike is not responsible for the debris at the launch itself. However, if anyone has any issues accessing the launch let me know and I can address it. I have made this clear to the project team down there that parking lots will be kept clear and swept regularly. Soon we will install sheeting next to the existing ramps to block off the river so next month we will begin the mass excavation which will be the new Marina. Good luck to all. Get fishing!

So the ramps will be closed after the metal cougher damm is in?

Line Guy, The proposed marina entrance is just North  of the ramps.

Joe , thank you for keeping the Rochester Gang on the map while they mess up the river front for the "betterment" of our port. I think we both know in the end it will all be worth it but getting there will REALLY SUCK

The new basin will be good for transient boaters but less parking for charlotte activities. The new condos will good for the rich tenants and the city in tax revenue but again less parking for charlotte activities. The little guy loses and charlotte atmosphere will never be the same

I was just down there this evening.  Ramps have been cleaned up and city has installed their money machine.  Access is quite rough so make sure you slow way down. 

 

New mayor wants to make it "low" income housing per the 31st meeting down there.
