Yeah, that was careless wording by me; I meant that Onondaga County has no traffic to speak of.

Regarding your Dome commute (and things might have changed under the newest DEIS), southbound I-81 traffic could exit onto North Franklin, North Clinton, North Salina (as they do now), or either North State or North McBride via a new offramp; you could backdoor your way to Dome parking from there. Alternatively, you could merge onto 690 east and take the new off-ramp at Irving Avenue, which would provide access through Upstate's new north campus (former Kennedy Square) via an extended Irving Avenue, which provides direct access to Dome parking and also connectivity to South Crouse (to be converted to two-way), University, etc. And westbound 690 traffic would have Teall and I believe an enhanced Canal Street/University Avenue intersection to work with.

So it'll be interesting to see if the modeling bears out what I believe - that eliminating the Harrison/Adams bottleneck with this enhanced grid might actually improve traffic times. Either way, I respect your gut take - a micro-level traffic delay for Dome events is cancelled out by the improvement to the region.
