    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.

    www.water-alternatives.org Volume 5 | Issue 2 Perreault, T.; Wraight, S. and Perreault, M. 2012. Environmental injustice in the Onondaga lake waterscape, New York State, USA. Water Alternatives 5(2): 485-506 Environmental Injustice in the Onondaga Lake Waterscape, New York State, USA Tom Perreault Department of Geography, Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York, USA; [email protected] Sarah Wraight Onondaga Environmental Institute, Syracuse, New York, USA; [email protected] Meredith Perreault Onondaga Environmental Institute, Syracuse, New York, USA; [email protected] ABSTRACT: This paper examines two interrelated cases of environmental injustice and social mobilisation in the Onondaga lake watershed in Central New York State, USA: (1) the case of the Onondaga Nation, an indigenous people whose rights to, and uses of, water and other resources have been severely reduced through historical processes of Euro-American settlement and industrial development; and (2) the case of the city of Syracuse, New York’s Southside neighbourhood, a low-income community of colour, where a sewage treatment facility was constructed as part of a broader effort to remediate the effects of pollution in Onondaga lake. The Onondaga Nation and the Southside neighbourhood are connected by Onondaga creek, which flows through each before joining Onondaga lake. These communities are also linked by shared histories of marginalisation and environmental injustice. Taken together, the cases demonstrate the temporal and spatial continuities of social relations of power, and their embodiment in water resources. Conceptually, the paper brings together the literatures of environmental justice and the political ecology of water resources. In doing so, we employ the concept of waterscape as an analytical lens to examine processes of marginalisation and social exclusion in the Onondaga lake watershed.

    Questionnaire for the Next Mayor of the City of Syracuse

    Questionnaire for the Next Mayor of the City of Syracuse This survey was created by a group of community organizations that organized candidate forums for candidates in local elections earlier this summer. We believe that democracy requires an informed electorate and candidates who are accountable to those who elect them. The primary organizations involved are the Alliance of Communities Transforming Syracuse (ACTS), CNY Solidarity Coalition, Greater Syracuse HOPE, National Action Network (NAN), Parents for Public Schools, Syracuse Community Connections and the Urban Jobs Taskforce. We have consulted with a variety of other organizations and individuals in creating this questionnaire. The survey contains over 100 questions grouped into eight categories. It was sent to all the mayoral candidates in late July and we followed up after the initial deadline to seek full participation. This version includes only those candidates who will be on the general election bal- lot on November 7. Unfortunately, Republican Laura Lavine did not return the survey. While we would prefer to have her responses on these important issues facing our city included in the survey, we believe her choice not to participate provides important information to the people who will choose the next Mayor. 1 of 10 Questionnaire for the Next Mayor August 2017 Juanita Perez Howie Hawkins Ben Walsh Williams Question Yes No Comment Yes No Comment Yes No Comment Building Democracy/Electoral Reform 1.
