Rochester is seeing positive changes on two fronts this week — one on the road and one in the community.
Starting Monday, the intersection of East Center Street and 11th Avenue will close to allow crews to install a new roundabout. The project, reported by 106.9 KROC, marks another step in the city’s ongoing effort to improve traffic flow and safety for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians navigating that part of town. Roundabouts are widely recognized for reducing the severity of collisions compared to traditional signalized intersections, making this upgrade a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
Meanwhile, the Salvation Army of Rochester has announced new leadership, according to 106.9 KROC. The organization has long been a cornerstone of community support in Rochester, providing food, shelter, and social services to residents in need. New leadership brings fresh energy and vision to that mission, and the Rochester community can look forward to seeing the organization continue its important work under new direction.
Together, these developments reflect a city that keeps investing in itself — whether it’s safer streets or stronger community organizations ready to serve neighbors across the Rochester area.
