Imagine Rochester twenty years from now.
What will our city be like in 2035?
That's what residents are asked to do in a "Dare to Imagine" event Saturday.
There will be tools and activities on hand designed to inspire ideas about everything from the aesthetic look of the city to solutions for some of Rochester's pressing problems.
Organizer Aprille Byam says the process of working together to envision Rochester in 2035 is a goal in itself.
"What I'd love to see is the neighborhoods more united and the people of the city working as a city and not separated by these lines on the map - a more unified Rochester that works together to solve all of our problems from education and violence to jobs; all of that."
Dare to Imagine Rochester takes place on Saturday, October 17, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Objectmaker Studio on Railroad Street, just outside the Public Market. Learn more about the event #DareToImagine#ROC on Facebook.
Byam said a follow-up meeting will be scheduled to develop action plans.
