The CADC plans to donate land at the north end of the lake to the City. This initiative also involves partnerships with Ontario County, Finger Lakes Community College, New York Kitchen, and Cornell Cooperative Extension of OC. The Memorandum of Understanding outlines the basics of a transfer of specific parcels, early design and build parameters for a new City park.
a. Public Bathrooms at the Commons The Commons provide a unique setting for events in the heart of Downtown. Given all the public gatherings, the addition of public bathrooms would enhance usage. The project involves installation of a pre-fabricated restroom facility (built off-site and delivered). Cost of the project is approximately $350,000 to $500,000. b. Phoenix Street Beautification/Utility Improvements The plan is to strengthen Phoenix Street as more of a pedestrian friendly destination. Streetscape improvements would support outdoor dining, walkability and a connection to Main Street. The project also includes undergrounding all utilities. c. Coach Street Beautification/Utility Improvements This project would enhance Coach Street as a connection from Main Street to the businesses along Coach. food/beverage and entertainment destinations. The project also includes undergrounding all utilities. d. Wayfinding Signage The wayfinding signage plan for the downtown area will help both visitors and residents navigate safely and easily. It highlights key attractions and local businesses, while also providing important accessibility information. The signage will enhance the overall experience of exploring downtown by offering clear, consistent, and easy-to-read signage. All signs will follow a uniform design. e. The Central on Main (Façade and Public Bathrooms) The project would enhance the Central as a multi-generational public space for a variety of different event types and also add a faux façade at the street to create more of a destination. Public bathrooms behind the stage are also included. f. Mill Street Improvements This project would reimagine and expand the market area on Mill Street and further a multi-use destination to stimulate more economic activity and increase the ability to hold public events. Circulation of traffic as well as parking options were explored. There are several iterations of what this project could look like. g. Small Projects Grant Fund The City proposes the establishment of a small project grant fund to support smaller projects for small business development, façade improvements, and mixed-use development.
a. WRRF Resiliency Project The City is looking at various streams of funding for the WRRF Resiliency Project The purpose of the project is to increase the capability of the facility to handle wet weather flows and also replaces old equipment that has exceeded its useful life. b. Kershaw North The Canandaigua Area Development Corporation (CADC) is taking the lead on submission of a CFA application by July 31st. The CFA will be submitted, via the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, for implementation of a park project to be located along the north shore of the lake. c. Sonnenberg Park Master Plan The Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) Grant for Parks, Preservation, and Heritage, administered by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, offers funding for park planning. If awarded, this grant would support the development of a master plan for renovations and enhancements of the park.
This agreement, with Ontario County, would authorize the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office to contract with the City to relieve us from handling the removal, storage, and disposal of abandoned vehicles. The benefits from entering into this arrangement would be that the City gets relief from the statutory obligations of trying to determine the owner and selling/disposing of the vehicle. Conversely, the City forfeits any proceeds from the sale of the vehicles.
