Historic Transportation Gateway Inventory and Assessment
The Historic Transportation Gateway Inventory and
Assessment is a cultural resource survey that will thematically
identify and evaluate properties in the Genesee-Finger Lakes Region as
they relate to transportation, such as train stations, canal structures,
tunnels, trolley cars, and highways. A reconnaissance-level survey will
be conducted, consisting of a description of general character, background
documentary research, and photographic documentation. The project
will be conducted throughout the nine (9) counties in the Genesee-Finger
Lakes Region, which includes Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario,
Orleans, Seneca, Wayne, Wyoming, and Yates Counties.
The goal of the survey is to identify historic
properties suitable for specific transportation improvements in the
region, such as rehabilitation and adaptive use for welcome centers and/or
pedestrian, bicycle, boater, mass transit, and/or motor vehicle
facilities. Survey data is vital to the identification of conflicts
between development planning and historic and cultural resources and can
facilitate determining what is necessary to meet state and federal
preservation and environmental review requirements.
The Historic Transportation Gateway Inventory and
Assessment will produce a final report that features New York State
Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Building/Structure
Inventory Forms, which provide photographs of all properties surveyed, an
architectural description and historic research, and statement of
significance. The report will summarize the inventory, provide the results
of archival research and reconnaissance-survey, provide the survey process
and methodology, and provide recommendations for consideration.
