Message: [QUOTE="xc84, post: 657744, member: 1526"] Maybe you don't understand the boulevard plan. The interstate will go around downtown, not through it. The portion of route 81 that leads to the 1.4 mile downtown boulevard will remain though no longer called 81. It is a highway that will come right into downtown. How's that worse than today? Let's say you are coming in from south of Syracuse and you want to do downtown. You take the Old 81 highway in...and that leads to the 6 lane boulevard. Right now, you can take 81 and you have one exit option off 81 to downtown. In addition, the boulevard, with none of the north-south "highway" traffic for those going to Canada or southern points that would bypass the downtown, will make getting from point to point downtown easier.
