The I-81 Challenge

Here is a new website I have just come across (or at least it is new to me), although the subject is not new. What the heck to do with the viaduct portion of I-81 on the south side of Syracuse now that it is reaching the end of its built life and is going to need tons of money pumped into it?

Well some folks argue that it should just be taken down, and traffic routed around Syracuse via Rt 481, leaving a more pedestrian friendly and connected neighborhood and city, especially bridging the gap between University Hill and downtown.

The website doesn't have much content yet, but it might be worthwhile keeping an eye on.
