To clarify what I said...

I agree with this.  The worst traffic in CNY is surely along Route 5 from Lyndon Corners to the intersection with I481.

Traffic along the best alternate route during rush hour (Route 290 from East Syracuse to Burdick and where it intersects with Route 257 next to the canal) is getting progressively worse and is now near crisis stage.

That development is in a really bad place.

When I said this area, I meant CNY in general, not Fayetteville.  Adding a lane to I481 (soon to be I81) is not going to help much when all that I81 traffic starts going through Dewitt.

As Go says, it is a shame we never built the extension to I690 that was to go through where Links at Erie Village is now.  Or completed the I481 loop around the whole site (not just the east side).

These things weren't a big deal as long as the county population stagnated indefinitely.

They are going to be a big deal now.  Interested to see what is done with Fayetteville and with Route 31.  These are the whole issues.  I think they almost have to make Verplank/Mud Mill a four lane road and have to extend most of Route 31 to 6 lanes.

I don't know what you do with the Route 5 situation in Fayetteville.  Add a lane in both directions?  Widen Route 290, Route 257,  Lyndon Road and Cedar Bay?

The NIMBYs are going to be up in arms!

It is going to be expensive.  Some homes and businesses are going to have to move.
