APPENDIX B-2 Online Comment Form Submissions APPENDIX B-2 Online Comment Form Submissions B-1 I would like to Agency/Organization, Timestamp Last Name First Name Email Address Street Address City State Zip Code comment on: if applicable Construction work associated with rebuilding the existing alignment will have significant impact on traffic flow to our downtown and connected businessess. The business community has been very vocal in advocating for a reconstruction of the route, preserving the existing configuration of the route. Although, I have seen little discussion on the impact construction and MPT will have on these businesses. DOT should be very deliberate in educating this community on the traffic impacts during reconstruction; give them fair warning. I expect that many of these same businesses advocating for presevation of this alignment will claim damages in lost business during construction. If these businesses get their way in keeping I-81 configuration unchanged, then they should be compelled to waive Above Grade / their right to claim financial loss during construction. As a taxpayer, being stuck with a narrow, uncreative solution that continues to [email protected] Reconstruction divide our city is bad enough.

I-81 Viaduct Project Comments Richard J. Brickwedde 211 Bradford Pky Syracuse, NY 13224 211 W. Jefferson St. Ste 26 Syracuse, NY 13202 I am an environmental lawyer having attended the NYS College of Forestry before graduating from Syracuse University. I was the DEC Regional Attorney for 11 years in Central New York during 6 months of which I was also the Acting Regional Director. During much of my 11 years with the DEC, I was the actual attendee at the SMTC meetings. In private practice I have worked with the DOT on a variety of projects including the Finger Lakes Outlet Mall, now Premier Outlets Waterloo, and the BJ’s projects on Bridge Street in East Syracuse, the BJs in Auburn and the BJs in Geneva. As a first preference, I would prefer the tunnel approach with some surface modifications which I will discuss. If the tunnel approach is rejected, I would suggest that I 481 from I 81 south of Syracuse be renamed I 81 as far north as I 690 and that I 690 be renamed I81 as far as I 81 north as it presently exists. With regard to both of these alternatives I would suggest the following surface changes. If the tunnel is constructed, a surface 4 lane road would be built above the tunnel for local traffic. That four lane road would feather off traffic, perhaps at Brighton, to divert traffic to Salina St to start the economic rehabilitation of the South Salina St. corridor. It would feather off traffic to a better connection to West St. and Clinton Street (which would become 2 way) to divert traffic to the west side of Syracuse and 690 west. At the same time West Street would be redesigned to narrow it considerably to no more than two lanes in each direction whether with a park like median or park like edges. The basic idea would be to slow down traffic on West Street while eliminating the barrier to downtown for pedestrians that West Street and Clinton Street presently create. The four lane road would feather off traffic at Colvin to Comstock to divert some traffic to the University area. The surface road where I 81 presently travels on the elevated portion (where there are presently 7 or 8 lanes combined with on and off lanes as well as through lanes) would be no more than 2 lanes in each direction with perhaps exit lanes with steps taken to protect the local neighborhoods from the surface traffic. In what is now the elevated portion of I 81, the road way would be narrowed rbrickwedde@brick 211 W. Jefferson St. considerable with either a park like median or some other configuration that would make crossing the road from east and west more 11/13/2013 17:44:02 Brickwedde Richard wedde.com Ste 26 Syracuse NY 13202 General or Other pedestrian and bicycle friendly. Perhaps the median could even be wide enough to contain park features. clintonjrsyr2001@ya At Grade / Surface I vote for the at-grade surface level alternative. It would provide more traffic meaning more business for downtown with minimal 11/13/2013 22:17:40 Williams Jr clinton hoo.com Syracuse New York 13203 Alternative inconvenience for those in the suburbs. A tunnel is the best option for rebuilding Interstate 81 through Syracuse. While it will likely be the most expensive option, I feel that it is a wise investment that will benefit both Syracuse and the entire region for decades to come. A tunnel would remove the "eyesore" concerns related with the existing elevated highway or the idea of a surface-level highway. A tunnel would keep the sights and sounds of traffic underground, "out of sight" for those who live, work or otherwise use the local area surrounding the highway. A tunnel could use the same locations for interchange on/off ramps as the existing highway. A tunnel would not require snowplowing, sanding or salting -- and as a result, the pavement should last much longer than it would in an open-cut, a surface road, or an elevated highway. Last but not least, a tunnel would allow I-81 to keep its current routing -- unlike the boulevard option, which would not qualify for the I- 81 designation. Below Grade / Although various utilities and other items will likely have to be relocated to make way for the tunnel, I think the long term benefits -- My comments are 11/13/2013 22:55:05 Naughton Peter [email protected] Fayetteville NY 13066 Tunnel Alternative which could last many decades longer than the existing viaduct has -- will more than justify the initial costs. anonymous. To whom it may concern I believe the best option available is to reconstruct Rt 81 and keep it as it currently exists. As a business owner on the northern side of the city the current configuration provides our business the best access and most efficient means of get into and through the city of Syracuse no matter where we are or need to get to. Also as a resident of an Eastern suburb I cannot image the rerouting the current through traffic around Rt 81 onto Rt 481 to by-pass the city. Any one that has ever exited Rt 481 at the Fayetteville ramps during peak hours can understand the trepidation of additional traffic being rerouted in this fashion. One of the advantages of Syracuse is the ability to get from one point to another in a quick and efficient manner. I believe the other Above Grade / alternatives currently being considered takes this benefit away.

I think viaduct should be rebuilt. I am most concerned about traffic convenience and travel time. I like the ability to get across town north to south and east to west in 20 minutes. It's one of the things that make Syracuse very livable. If the new arrangement increases travel time and requires stop and go street traffic it is not worth it. I don't believe making pretty boulevards will bring the benefits its proponents think it will. I also think the elevated highway gives visitors or those passing through a good sense of gmcgivney001@twc Goals and Syracuse. They can get a good sense of the city from that vantage point.

Pedestrian access and feasibility should be crucial to any choice. An over head highway or a boulevard can easily be hostile to pedestrians by default. It is a LONG stretch for a person to cross, relying on countdown timers, walk signals and buttons that never seem to work around the city, how would we be assured that they will be serviced frequently and effectively here? A landscaped 6 lane blvd is just as much of a barrier as an ugly elevated highway - both are huge! People are small, distances need to be short and easy - how does any of these projects meet those needs? Can they? People are fickle, if it doesn't look inviting, seems junky or disconnected - people won't walk.

  • Syracuse Transit System Analysis
    Syracuse Transit System Analysis Prepared For: NYSDOT CENTRO Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council January 2014 The I‐81 Challenge Syracuse Transit System Analysis This report has been prepared for the New York State Department of Transportation by: Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. Prudent Engineering In coordination with: Central New York Regional Transportation Authority (CENTRO) Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council The I‐81 Challenge Executive Summary of the Syracuse Transit System Analysis I. Introduction The Syracuse Transit System Analysis (STSA) presents a summary of the methodology, evaluation, and recommendations that were developed for the transit system in the Syracuse metropolitan area. The recommendations included in this document will provide a public transit system plan that can be used as a basis for CENTRO to pursue state and federal funding sources for transit improvements. The study has been conducted with funding from the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) through The I‐81 Challenge study, with coordination from CENTRO, the Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council (SMTC), and through public outreach via The I‐81 Challenge public participation plan and Study Advisory Committee (SAC). The recommendations included in this system analysis are based on a combination of technical analyses (alternatives evaluation, regional modeling), public survey of current transit riders and non‐riders/former riders, meetings with key community representatives, and The I‐81 Challenge public workshops. The STSA is intended to serve as a long‐range vision that is consistent with the overall vision of the I‐81 corridor being developed as part of The I‐81 Challenge. The STSA will present a series of short‐term, mid‐term, and long‐ term recommendations detailing how the Syracuse metropolitan area’s transit system could be structured to meet identified needs in a cost‐effective manner.

Creative, Innovative Supports and Services Dear Friends, Although 2017 presented challenges, we are pleased to say that, once again, Arc of Onondaga has many wonderful things to report. This past year forced us to sit down and reflect on what matters most; finding ways to operate more efficiently while continuing to provide the high-quality services and supports that people want. Our continued culture shift from caregiver to supporter took center stage as we began to design programs around what matters most to the individuals we serve and move away from standard programmatic options. Ellen Gutmaker Chris Centore Executive Director President of the Board We saw rate changes and cuts in several areas, increased examinations over meeting waiver requirements, decreased referrals to some of our long-standing programs, and lengthy openings in our residential homes due to OPWDD scrutiny over who can move. These changes forced us to examine all of the Board of Directors services we provide across the board to make sure we were utilizing all of our resources and capitalizing on the opportunities Chris Centore brought about by change. We saw a significant increase in the number of people supported through community hab, we opened President a supportive apartment setting for people desiring increased Gone are the days when programs were offered in self-contained, segregated independence, and we also assisted those we support from Chuck Seereiter environments; 2017 brought about new and innovative approaches to the services moving from an apartment setting to three smaller homes where First Vice President they can be better integrated in their community.

    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, January 24, 2012 CONTACT: Patrick Finlon, Marketing Director 315-443-2636 or [email protected] Non-Stop Music in Caroline, or Change by Pulitzer Prize Winner Tony Kushner and Tony Nominee Jeanine Tesori (Syracuse, NY)— Two powerhouses of the American theatre, playwright Tony Kushner (Angels in America) and composer Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie and Shrek: The Musical), join forces on a musical of startling creativity and refreshing originality (don’t be surprised when the washing machine starts to sing). A stellar cast led by Greta Oglesby delivers powerful vocals in this unconventional, through-composed musical, the recipient of six Tony nominations followed by the Olivier Award for Best Musical. The year is 1963—civil rights and Kennedy—and in the Gellman household in Lake Charles, Louisiana, eight-year-old Noah struggles with the loss of his mother, while Caroline, the family’s African American maid, struggles as a single Mom of four children. Through Caroline and Noah’s friendship, Kushner and Tesori explore thoughts on economic hardship and racial inequity that are relevant today as they were in the early 60s. Rich with humor, humanity and of course music—ranging from blues to gospel to traditional Jewish melodies—Caroline, or Change delivers a deep and uplifting message about change, in big ways and small. Running February 1—26, Caroline, or Change will be performed in the Archbold Theatre at Syracuse Stage, 820 East Genesee Street. Tickets range $18-$50 and are available at the Syracuse Stage Box Office, 315-443-3275 or www.SyracuseStage.org.

According to NYSDEC (1994a), the objectives of Step I are to: . Identify the fish and wildlife resources that presently exist at the site and that existed there before contaminant introduction. Provide information necessary for the design of a remedial investigation (RI). Step I of the FWIA (NYSDEC, 1994a) includes preparation of various site maps, description offish and wildlife resources, description of fish and wildlife resource values, and identification of applicable fish and wildlife regulatory criteria. The contents of this section are also consistent with the component of Ecological Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund (ERAGS) Step 1 (see Chapter 4) that addresses the environmental setting (USEPA, 1997a). 3.1 Site Maps The site maps required for Step I of a FWIA include topographic, wetland, drainage, and covertype (NYSDEC, 1994a). The topographic map for the site is presented in Figure 3-1 and includes the following information: . Demarcation of the 2-mi (3.2-km) area around the site. Topographic features. Surface waters (i.e., streams and lakes). Stateand federal wetlands. General locations of rare plant species and communities listed in the New York Natural Heritage Program (NYNHP) database. Roads and settlements (urban and residential). As required by FWIA guidance, a drainage map depicting surface flows after hydrological events is presented in Figure 3-2. Wetlands regulated by NYSDEC and those documented by the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) are presented in Figure 3-3, and are discussed in detail in Section 3.2.4.
