Le Petit Poutine

First hour: Reshaping Rochester looks at building stronger neighborhoods

Second hour: The growing food truck scene in Rochester

The Reshaping Rochester series welcomes two speakers who have expertise in building stronger neighborhoods. We'll talk to Ken Doyno, president of an urban design firm in Pittsburgh. He's been focused on how design and property development can grow the economic and social value of communities. What are the lessons from Pittsburgh that Rochester might apply? We'll also discuss lessons from Washington D.C., and how that city successfully rebuilt after the 1968 riots. Our guests:

  • Ken Doyno, president, Rothschild Doyno Collaborative in Pittsburgh, PA
  • Mo Duggan, executive director, Community Design Center of Rochester
  • Roger Brown, creative consultant, Community Design Center of Rochester

Then, is Rochester a food truck city? The city claims to have greatly loosened past restrictions on food trucks. But we're not exactly the next Portland, where food trucks have essentially replaced fast food chains. We'll talk about the growth in the industry, the laws, and how these food truck operators are trying to find an ever larger market. Our guests:

  • Liz Clapp, Le Petite Poutine
  • Marty O'Sullivan, Marty’s Meats
  • Joe Cario, Roc City Sammich
  • Carolee Conklin, Rochester City Council member
