Street and filled that section of the subway tunnel, but rebuilt the former B&O ramp into what remains of the subway, making that ramp the western access point into the subway. The remains of the Rochester Subway run from the B&O ramp just east of East Main Street to Court Street. In 2009, The City released a comprehensive community based study entitled “Masterplan for the Broad Street Corridor and the Historic Erie Canal Aqueduct. The $1.2M Federally sponsored study was the result extensive meetings with the community, business, planners, advocacy groups and downtown developers. At the heart of the study was a desire to develop the Aqueduct and surrounding district in such a manner that supports downtown development and serves as a source of community pride. After over a hundred meetings, the consensus was to re-water the Aqueduct and create Rochester’s Historic Canal District. The plan was endorsed by elected officials, a majority of rochester citizens (73%), and numerous business leaders. The plan received the highest award (platinum)by the American Planning Association along with numerous distinguished accolades from AIA, ACEC and was voted “Rochester’s Best Idea” by the readers of City Newspaper. In 2017, the site of Court Street station was demolished to make way for a mixed-use commercial and luxury residential highrise eliminating the Court Street tunnel entrance. The city maintains a maintenance doorway underneath the Gannett Building. This entrance is not open to the public. In 2018, a plan dubbed ROC the Riverway was unveiled that proposes removing the Broad Street level of the aqueduct and partially re-flooding the former canal and subway bed on the aqueduct with water similar to what was done with the historic canals at Canalside in Buffalo, NY and incorporate walkways to connect the nearby Blue Cross Arena with the nearby convention center. The project moved to the planning and construction phase in 2022. Also in 2018, the city solicited bids to turn a remaining segment of tunnel between Main Street and Exchange Street into underground parking. There were no interested buyers.
