Development in and Around Syracuse Discussion

[upperdeck]

Just how many people are they expecting to be walking down those huge sidewalks and where are the going?

 

[Cuse4455]

They didn't think this through. *yes I know they did with many meetings*

Maybe there are bike lanes there as well

Yes in the article it states its a shared use bike lane as well

Roundabouts and crosswalks are my everything!
Let's go!

I predict these ppl will get run over by a lot of Nissans and Subaru WRXs with all them trees!

The good news with this reconfiguration is that if you’re coming up from the south, you now have a direct access to the backside of the hill. Traffic will likely be backed up on business Loop 81 from the traffic circle a bit, but it’s something that wasn’t there before

SU fans clearly didn't attend any of those meetings or we would've seen an extra turn lane in that roundabout.

What is the point of that sidewalk if those pedestrians can't get to the other side of the freeway?

The full picture shows a crosswalk more to the north. It's cut out of that snip.

In the Subaru WRX's defense, the pedestrians should hear and see it coming due to the loud exhaust, the trunk rattling from the subwoofers and the ploom of vapor billowing out from the vape pen. The outcome is on them.

Ikea opening in the fall has been kept really quiet. Would have thought a rough opening date would be out by now.

Agreed...it will be awesome though to have one when it finally opens

With all the hassle involved in putting together one of their bookshelves, I can't imagine what it will take to build an entire store.

They've probably been burned too many times setting a date and then having to rebuild after finding a key component was missed.

Stunning restoration (also love the work at Hotel Syracuse). Brings back good memories (graduation)!

I think there's more to the story. I'm betting they had trouble behind the scenes. I took my wife and daughter there a couple weeks ago for a burger and it was bloody awful. I mean, how badly can you mess up a burger, or french onion soup?

Court clears path for ShoppingTown Mall rebirth, but what would it look like?

The Court of Appeals refuses to hear an appeal challenging a county agency's use of eminent domain to assist the mall's redevelopment.

Shoppingtown has huge redevelopment potential. I like that Ryan McMahon realizes that it can be more than just a lifestyle center and apartments and motels

Hope the development really finally comes, it’s been a horrible eyesore and waste for decades - same with Great Northern Mall.

Problem is the person behind great northern doesn’t have the resources that the people behind shopping town do

Then they ought to look at bringing in partners. Ten percent of something so close to Micron is much better than owning 100% of nothing.

Agreed...same with Great Northern. Great potential: once shovels hit the ground at Micron we should see the other semiconductor related businesses start to announce

Agreed, he'll have to partner up or else
