Future Campus Framework Presentation...

If you are still taking that route to get through the city without the viaduct there instead of using the 481 bypass, then you are a moron (not you specifically, but in general).

Agreed...but even if you did, you would drive only 1.4 miles on non-highway.

Agreed...but even if you did, you would drive only 1.4 miles on non-highway.

For commuters who work and live in either the north/northwest suburbs or south/SW suburbs I wouldn't be surprised if commute times are comparable or even a minute or two less taking old 81. 481 is a major detour for those points on the map.

This discussion would be moot if there was a western bypass as originally proposed. Tearing down 81 would have near-unanimous support and they probably wouldve already had bulldozers starting demo work.

481 is only 3.3 miles longer than the current 81 and the new grid will only have 1.4 miles of non-highway. Commute times have already been calculated and the differences are not much between now and future with the grid.

Which is exactly why commuters may NOT take 481. People don't like to change their habits. I might drive the grid out of spite anyway.

Just like now, you will need to choose the best route for you.

Officially yes...it's why I labeled my post bits and pieces...I do know funding sources was a major topic.

Is the announcement as immanent as Oklahoma to the B1G?

I don't think so. I'm hearing Oklahoma to the Big Ten is very imminent. Unless things change, of course.

No new news on the stadium renovations apparently, but this project has reappeared at a smaller scale, as many had predicted:

Developer proposes new plan for student high-rise criticized by Syracuse University

Eh. It didn't move.

Can someone at SU please leak out some new details on the renovation plans sometime in the next month or so - just to keep us in the holiday spirit?

Boom in luxury apartments for Syracuse college students brings worries, too

This Tweet is more evidence that Wildhack "gets it" regarding Cuse.

 

[FrancoPizza]

During the renovation process? What does that mean? I don't want the design to be compromised simply because they want the old dome to be open for business while the new dome is being built overhead.

If it's truly being held up by $$$, then this could be a looooooooooong wait before any groundbreaking. If SU was outside the city limits, Joanie Mahoney could have diverted that $100M gift currently set aside for the fairgrounds. And I love the fair but still.

I think he means they want to maintain the iconic properties even after the renovation. Notice there are no quotes around that part. Those words were the author's.

There is no indication it is being held up by $$$

That's great if true. When do you think we'll hear something more definitive?

I don't mean to be a wiseguy here...really...but we will hear when they announce it. Sala said from the start this was going to be very challenging...especially the part about not disrupting any game schedules. It's a complex project and will take time to develop. We need to be patient.
