This lock has a lift of 25' (7.6m). [HAER]

There were eleven street views available, but all of them had the downstream gates closed.

Footbridge on the Move (update):  With barge one—carrying half of that pedestrian bridge to Buffalo and Ralph Wilson Park there—reaching its destination successfully yesterday afternoon, the focus now turns to barge two.  THAT barge remains in the Rochester area at Lock 33 in Brighton, NY where I caught it this morning with the backup of a rainbow.  Crew from the NYS Canal Corporation used one of their tugs yesterday to push it through Lock 32 in Pittsford, as well as this lock here.  It will save the crew from Carver Marine Towing about 45 minutes or so when they return with their large tug.  That tug, the CMT Otter, overnighted in Buffalo and is expected to use a good part of today returning to this lock in Brighton.  Presumably, they will spend tomorrow and Friday getting barge two into Buffalo, repeating what they did the last two days with barge one.  I’ve been getting lots of messages from folks across Western New York who missed barge one—this will be your chance to see it. Carver Companies will be providing solid updates on barge two.
