Credit John Smith / WAER News Town supervisors in Onondaga County are once again calling on state and federal transportation officials to consider a high-speed alternative for I-81 through the city of Syracuse. They say a grid-only plan would fail miserably. Gov. Cuomo recently committed $800 million toward the community grid option, which would replace the 1.5 mile viaduct through downtown Syracuse. Clay Town Supervisor Damian Ulatowski says their voices have been all but ignored during the entire process. “We should at least have an opportunity to sit at the table, so that our concerns can be raised with engineers and traffic designers to say, ‘Okay, yes, these are some concerns and this is how they can be mitigated,’” he said.
