The Irondequoit Town Planning Board says it wants more questions answered before signing off on a new development on Titus Avenue.

Irondequoit native Mike Nolan has been trying to get approval for the "I-Square" project. It involves tearing down several buildings near Titus and Cooper Road and replacing them with new restaurants, shops and outdoor space.

The Planning Board says there are still issues that need to be resolved with parking and landscaping before the project gets preliminary approval.

The board did not vote at tonight's meeting, instead reserving a decision until a special meeting on February 13th.

Seneca Park Zoo gets ready for ZooBoo

The Seneca Park Zoo's popular Halloween event is back! ZooBoo, a "Merry-Not-Scary" Halloween extravaganza will feature 15 trick-or-treat stations throughout the zoo, candy and healthy snacks, gifts and activities and live entertainment and costumed characters in a one-of-a-kind setting.

The annual event takes place from 10:00am to 4:00pm on Saturday and Sunday October 15 and Saturday October 22 and 23.

Trick-or-treating tickets to this “spooktacular” event are $7 each on the days of the event.  This ticket does not include the Zoo admission fee, so non-members must pay Zoo admission. Member kids only pay the trick-or-treating fee and members not trick-or-treating are admitted free.

Irondequoit looks to get an overhaul

News 10NBC got a sneak peek Saturday afternoon at the "I-Square" project.

Mike Nolan, an Irondequoit native, says the town had the project in the works for years; but had trouble finding a developer so he stepped up to the plate.

He plans to tear down several buildings along Titus Avenue and Cooper Road, and create a bustling "Town Square." Nolan told us this project will attract more people to Irondequoit and bring the community together.

"In order to get a really nice meal a lot of the time you have to leave the town,” explained Nolan. “We want to give things here a reason to stay in town. Places to go, outdoor concerts, movies, ice cream shops, coffee shops just tons of stuff."

According to the Democrat and Chronicle, construction could begin as early as next summer.
