A message from Sam Casella, Town Supervisor & Dennis Brewer, Director of Parks and Recreation:
Peanut Line Section Donated by James Judkins
A trail is planned for the section of the Peanut Line that was donated to the Town of Canandaigua by James Judkins. This section is located between County Road 30 and Cooley Road.
In 1853, the Canandaigua and Niagara Falls Railroad was constructed through the southern Rochester region between Canandaigua and Batavia. Around 1858, the New York Central Railroad acquired this line. At the time, Dean Richmond, a company vice-president, called the acquisition as "only a peanut of a line" so "Peanut Line" was born.
There are plans to have this area developed for hiking this summer. Until then, for safety reasons, this is not open for public use.
Miller Farm
The Town of Canandaigua purchased this 23 acre property located at the corner of Bliss Road, Route 21 South and County Road 32.
From the top of this property, you can see for miles - including the Rochester skyline.
Plans will be developed for this area as a "passive park." It will be a place for low-impact recreational activities such as hiking, relaxing and having a picnic. For safety reasons, until it is developed, this area will not be open for public use.
Outhouse Open Space
This is a 75-acre purchase made by the Town of Canandaigua that is adjacent to the land given by Richard Outhouse for a planned family park.
The Outhouse purchase will remain as open space and has not been designated as a public park. For this reason, it is not open for public use.
NYSERDA Grant
In February of this year, the Town applied for two grants through the American Resource Recovery Act (ARRA) and the NYS Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).
On March 24, 2010 NYSERDA sent notice to the Town that the request for $41,200 to purchase a recycling materials compactor was denied.
However, in response to the second proposal, $40,000 has been reserved to fund a local code update, which is intended to further the goals of sustainable development. Groundwork for this project is being completed through the ongoing comprehensive plan update. In the coming months, specifics regarding the project schedule and scope will be formally established in a contract executed by the Town and NYSERDA.
