As Renaissance Square approaches a key date, it's sputtering once again.
Project planners were counting on City Council to vote on eminent domain proceedings and the sale of a piece of vacant land by July 14. But Council has not received legislation for either.
Instead, reports the Democrat and Chronicle, Council has requested a meeting with County Executive Maggie Brooks and Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation Authority CEO Mark Aesch.

Why hasn't Mayor Duffy been invited to meet with the Council? He is a major player.

The D&C said today:
"But the reality is that project leaders face a big hurdle: convincing the mayor and city council that Renaissance Square is the right project for a blighted part of Main Street."
Council must vote this month on the project to leave time to meet requirements before the federal government can release $24 million in September."
Our campaign says "forget the $24 million. Why use it to build a Frankenstein's Monster?" Why should we do 1960's Urban Renewal again? Rememer how good it turned out when we bull dozed Corn Hill to build the expressway? ren square is another expressway through Corn Hill.
ren square is 1,000 fast ferries on top of each other.
