Public Safety Response after East Rochester Fireman’s Carnival

EAST ROCHESTER, N.Y. – “Public Safety has been and continues to be the number one priority for all residents, businesses and visitors to the Town/Village of East Rochester, said Mayor John R. Alfieri”.  

This past Saturday evening visitors to the East Rochester Fire Department Carnival disrupted the family fun event that is brought to the community annually for all to enjoy. This is the main fundraiser for a 100% volunteer Fire Department.

The East Rochester Police Department responded in a prepared and professional manner, supported by the Monroe County Sherriff’s Office, New York State Police, Fairport Police Department and multiple private security companies. All of our pre-planning measures that were put in place unfortunately needed to be used. We thank all those who “Protect and Serve” with keeping our community safe. We will meet soon with appropriate stake holders to evaluate the future of the event as no decision has been made at this time.

Dear East Rochester Resident:

The Town/Village of East Rochester is beginning construction of the Pedestrian Enhancement Sidewalk Project in coordination with MRB Group and the NYSDOT.  The project has been awarded to Villager Construction and is set to begin along Garfield Street starting July 22, 2024.  The project will begin at the intersection of Garfield Street and Ivy Street and then continue north along Garfield Street up to the West Commercial Street intersection.  The majority of work will take place within the road Right-of-Way and will temporarily impact driveway access. 

During demolition of the existing sidewalks, driveway access will be temporarily restricted. Stone will be placed to maintain temporary access during demolishing.   Residents will be provided a 24-hour notice of driveway closure. During the installation of the new sidewalk, driveway access will be restricted for 72 hours after the concrete has been poured.  Parking on adjacent streets and at Edmund Lyon Park is available.

Once the concrete sidewalk is cleared for reopening, stone will be temporarily placed again to allow access until repaving.  All driveway pavement affected will be replaced in kind and disturbed areas restored with topsoil and seed as part of the project.

For questions or concerns please contact Jake Calabrese at MRB Group (585-381-9250).

Sincerely,

Thomas Fromberger
