[SIZE=4]"The White House also pointed to Interstate 81 in Syracuse — a 1.5-mile stretch of elevated highway on the city’s predominantly Black south side — where community and city leaders advanced a plan to take part of the highway down. Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh, an independent, has discussed the $2 billion project with staffers at the U.S. Department of Transportation.[/SIZE]

Walsh said the cost could be covered with existing transportation funds, leaving any new money to help rebuild communities after highways come down.
