Due to recent maintenance on the blogger, instead of my posts being in minutes, it turned into hours. Anyway. A big thing is happening in CNY and we all get to be apart of it! The I-81 challenge is going on and its a pretty interesting process. Here's whats going on.
Interstate 81 through downtown Syracuse is pretty much getting old and doesn't meet today's standards of a highway. So, the I-81 challenge gives the community a chance to input ideas and talk about future options for designs. The options are then narrowed down and one is eventually picked over a span of 6-8 years.
So how does the community give input? Through workshops! You can either attend the workshops physically (the first set already passed) or virtually on the internet. I personally did the virtual one, which gives you a little history lesson about I-81 and how the city has transformed and grew around our transportation system. You can do the workshop online HERE. I don't think many people have utilized this opportunity to have an impact on our cities future, but I'm sure for those of us who are interested, we can come up with some brilliant ideas.
