Credit CITY file photo An acrimonious eight-year-long legal battle over the proposed Westport Crossing development in Pittsford has been put to an end by outgoing state Supreme Court Justice John Ark, at least for now. Ark, who will be stepping down from the bench at the end of the year, recently issued a pair of rulings against Westport Crossing developer Mark IV, which had proposed building 167 apartment units and a 125-seat restaurant along the Erie Canal at 75 Monroe Ave. The rulings upheld decisions by the village of Pittsford’s Planning and Zoning Board and its Historic Preservation Board to not grant needed approvals to the project.
