The City of Rochester announced a special event zone that will be set up on Saturday nights in the East End , Friday, Sept. 27, 2024.
Captain Greg Bello with the Rochester Police Department says this designation is coming about for a very simple reason.Not everyone who comes here, Bello said, is looking to have a good time. Some are just here for mischief. Starting Saturday nights at 10 p.m. to early Sunday morning, no one under 21 will be allowed to pass check points that will section off the East End area. The four entry points will be: Chapman Alley and Alexander Street, East Avenue and Alexander Street, East Avenue and South Union Street, and Lawrence and Charlotte streets.“We're not going to be allowing large bags, things like backpacks, things along those lines,” said Bello; that is, to keep people from carrying firearms into the area.
