Rochester's Inner Loop is a sunken highway that encircles downtown Rochester, New York. Built in the 1960s, it was designed to facilitate traffic flow and connect various neighborhoods. Over the years, it has been criticized for dividing the city and limiting access to the waterfront. In recent years, efforts have been made to revitalize the area. Plans include removing sections of the Inner Loop to create more green spaces and improve pedestrian access. This initiative aims to enhance the urban environment and promote economic development in the surrounding neighborhoods.
