  • 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.

    ADDRESS: 400-36 S 3RD ST, AKA 301-17 LOMBARD ST Proposal: Construct parish hall Review Requested: Final Approval Owner: St. Peter's Church Applicant: David Ade, SMP Architects History: 1758; St. Peter's Church and Yard Individual Designation: 4/30/1957 District Designation: Society Hill Historic District, Significant, 3/10/1999 Staff Contact: Laura DiPasquale, [email protected] BACKGROUND: The property in question, 400-36 S. 3rd Street, is a large parcel that occupies much of the block bounded by Pine, S. 3rd, Lombard, and S. 4th Streets. St. Peter’s Church stands at the northeast corner of the site. St. Peter’s Cemetery occupies much of the northern half of the site. The southwest corner of the site, a surface parking lot, is being subdivided from 400-36 S. 3rd Street as 301-17 Lombard Street. St. Peter’s Church proposes to build a parish hall on the site. The overall property, 400-36 S. 3rd Street, was individually designated in 1957 and was included in the Society Hill Historic District as a Significant resource in 1999. Although part of the larger tax parcel at 400-36 S. 3rd Street at the time of designation, the surface parking lot at 301-17 Lombard Street is separately classified as Contributing for its archaeological potential, but not for any aboveground resources. The Historical Commission reviewed and approved a design for the parish hall in 2019, with the requirement that the property owner conduct an archaeological investigation. Since that time, the archaeological investigation has been completed and a new architect has taken over and revised the design of the parish hall.

    Sixty-Seventh Commencement Sunday, the twenty-first of May Two thousand seventeen Le Moyne College Campus at nine-thirty in the morning LE MOYNE COLLEGE MISSION STATEMENT Le Moyne College is a diverse learning community that strives for academic excellence in the Catholic and Jesuit tradition through its comprehensive programs rooted in the liberal arts and sciences. Its emphasis is on education of the whole person and on the search for meaning and value as integral parts of the intellectual life. Le Moyne College seeks to prepare its members for leadership and service in their personal and professional lives to promote a more just society. 1 ACADEMIC REGALIA The origin of academic caps, gowns and hoods dates to the 12th century and the rise of the universities, which were originally under the auspices of the church, and whose faculties were comprised of churchmen. These scholars wore clerical robes, hoods and capes as much for warmth during the long, cold European winters as for distinction. Today the standard academic regalia worn in the United States are of three types. The bachelor’s gown is characterized by its simplicity of line and long, pointed sleeves, distinguishing it from the master’s gown, best recognized by its rectangular, “wing-like” sleeves. The doctor’s gown, with full, bell-shaped sleeves, is faced in front and back with velvet and has three velvet bars across the sleeves. In addition, the tassel on the doctor’s cap may be gold. The hood is the most symbolic part of the academic regalia. Its size and shape indicate the level of the degree held, its lining shows the colors of the institution granting it, and the color of its velvet border corresponds to the general academic program of the degree.
