Signage
for the 390 interchange. Beyond 390, I-490 has a much more urban
feel as it approaches the Rochester City Core. I am always
impressed at the scale of a lot of US Cities. In Canada, where I
am from, there are very few urban centres with a population of over a
million people. Seemingly every large US centre in the Northeast
and Midwest have a metro of one million or greater. |
