Development in and Around Syracuse Discussion

I have heard multiple rumors that a “fruit” company may be coming, to be close to their supplier

But at the same time, if tax dollars are used to fund a service that the public simply isn't utilizing by choice, that is an inefficient use of public resources that can improve the lives of commuters and lower-income folks in more effective ways.

I think a comprehensive commuter bus system for Syracuse is a great idea, with designated lanes that only the buses can use. Pittsburgh does that very well.

You need to have enough buses to run the routes every half hour to be efficient.

Don't disagree with any of this. We're on the same page

We already have an Apple Store.

Do we really need to talk in code here? This isn’t SUFB recruiting.

likely talking about some sort of manufacturing.

Now we're speaking my language!

Semi-related, there actually is a type of Citrus that can grow in 6a. It's bitter and thorny AF. Where is SU on this? Seems like low-hanging fruit.

I get it but why the cloak and dagger?

I think they need to edit the byline, but some good news for you cheap furniture lovers/potentially bad news for marriages:

The new format store will be the third IKEA location in the Philadelphia metro area.

It is a right of passage for husbands to put together at least one piece of Ikea furniture. After enduring that, you can tackle any household problem.

Surprised it’s at destiny.

Life is hard.

It's twice as hard if you don't read the instructions.

So a question for the locals again.

What is the proper way to come down 481 and get to 81 south? Came home from the track sunday and this time actually looked at the signage closer.

You get to end of 481 and the signs say 481 ends follow the detour to 81.

Then you get to the end and the road splits and a big sign says for 81 north stay in left lane. So we go right lane and end up on a roundabout. No signs at all. Having been in this spot before we got around and up E. Breighton. Then I kinda remember where to go but we get to the intersection of E. Seneca turnpike.

Again no signs at all. We go about 100 yds and we think yes we were supposed to go down the turnpike and end up on 11 and then work our way south to 81. So we turn around and find our way.

How can this signage be so bad?

Are you supposed to go to the left lane to 81 north and then get off like at exit 17 go under and then back up onto 81 south there?

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Instead of widening roads, the focus should be public transportation like a light rail system. But this country is too married to cars and "more lanes equals less traffic".

Yeah, no. Light rail is not close to feasible here. Not near enough population density to support it, and the town has no interest in changing their codes to allow such density.

Light rail people have already reached out.

You're supposed to do this: Go right off the exit from 481 down Brighton and then turn left at the traffic light just under the 81 overpass. That will lead you right to the 81S onramp.

IMO, go to the end of 481. It’s a temporary detour there to get to 81 south. Adds about 5 minutes.

 

[upperdeck]

ahh.. So basically door #3. But why is there no sign at all when you get to the roundabout if thats what they want you to do?

Where did you enter 481? If starting farther north you can also take 690W to 81S

ain’t happening. And who would the “light rail people” be, there aren’t companies running with a light rail product they’d like to sell.

Going to be huge. You don't want to go there when the students get back though.

The restaurant is a hidden gem

I got on off the thruway, 34a maybe. I just stayed on it and went around like I usually do

No clue on why there isn't signage, since it's a pretty simple detour.

We wanna geek out. Syracuse to Buffalo is on the ragged edge of these beauties

ain’t happening.

From where to where would it go? There isn’t population density to justify it.
