Message: [QUOTE="BlueCurtain, post: 312397, member: 881"] One of the proposals addresses the western bypass, but NIMBY trolls would kill that idea before it even gained momentum. It should have been built when it was first proposed 30 years ago - when there was less suburban sprawl in neighborhoods that would link to 695. The State DOT sold the land that was earmarked for that strip. What's worse is that Rt. 173 Seneca Turnpike - which serves as the main artery in the SW - doesn't even have a connection to 81/481. You have to roll up your windows and lock your doors as you head into the valley and then twist up to Brighton Ave just to get on a highway. Anyone that lives in Onondaga Hill is conditioned to it, but they probably don't realize (or forgot) how much simpler access should be. [/QUOTE]
