  • 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.

  • 400-36 S 3RD ST, AKA 301-17 LOMBARD ST Proposal: Construct Parish Hall Review Requested: Final Approval Owner: St
    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.

  • Levens to Improve Thornden Park
    THE NOTTINGHAM CONNECTION 3100 East Genesee Street Syracuse, New York 13224 SPRING 2010 Nottingham Commemorates World AIDS Day The Nottingham chapter of the Teen Aids Task Force (TATF) commemorated World AIDS Day by displaying several panels from the Syracuse NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt on December 1st. Each panel was made locally to commemorate a loved one lost to AIDS. The entire display filled a large part of the school li- brary. It included posters, pictures of TATF teens, and HIV Q&A. A panel was set up for students to sign their names and leave short messages. A “Common Threats” movie played in one corner of the room. The display was a collaboration between ACR and the Student Leadership Class, run by TATF advisor Janice Hammerle. Close to 400 people viewed the display. Levens To Improve Thornden Park Dorsey Levens (’89) visited the Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce in the fall of 2009 to discuss plans for improvements to Thornden Park. Dorsey, who retired as a football player for the Green Bay Packers, played for the Sherman Park Bulldogs in Thornden Park, the city’s second-largest park. He plans, through the Dorsey Levens Foundation, to make Thornden into the first “green” park in New York state by making sure all improvements are environmentally sound. Some of the areas needing improve- ments and repairs are the athletic field, basketball courts, tennis courts, and amphitheater stage. The goal is to restore the park to provide a safe place for children and adults to enjoy. Dorsey has rallied other SU greats including Jim Boeheim and Carmelo Anthony.

  • Syracuse University Is Driven by Its Vision, Scholarship in Action—A
    SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY ENGAGEMENT PROJECTS INTRODUCTION Syracuse University is driven by its vision, Scholarship in Action—a commitment to forging bold, imaginative, reciprocal, and sustained engagements with our many constituent communities, local as well as global. We construe SU as a public good, an anchor institution positioned to play an integral role in today’s knowledge-based, global society by leveraging a precious commodity—intellectual capital—with partners from all sectors of the economy: public, private, and non-profit. Each partner brings its strengths to the table, where collectively we address the most pressing problems facing our community. In doing so, we invariably find that the challenges we face locally resonate globally. We understand that this represents an expansive definition of the role of a university, but as the Kellogg Commission has observed, it is incumbent upon universities today "to reshape our historic agreement with the American people so that it fits the times that are emerging instead of the times that have passed.”1 Today, in a world in which knowledge is paramount, we believe that we best fulfill our role as an anchor institution in our community when: • We educate fully informed and committed citizens; • We provide access to opportunity; • We strengthen democratic institutions; • We create innovation that matters, and we share knowledge generously; • We inform and engage public opinion and debate; and • We cultivate and sustain public intellectuals. Serving the public good in these ways pervades our daily decision making and connects us not just with our immediate community, but with communities throughout the world. These connections vividly demonstrate for our students, faculty, staff, and community members what it means to be an educated, responsible citizen in the 21st century.

    All-AmericAn Adventures New York State: A Canal Runs Through It Journey Through Parks along The erie Canal Content was Created by aaa in Collaboration with the national Park serviCe the days of railroads or automobiles, New York State Before rolled up its sleeves and started digging. In the words of a popular song, the Erie Canal connected “every inch of the way from Albany to Buffalo.” A ‘carrying place’ that had served six nations for centuries became an outpost for Europeans colonizing North America and then, a place where rebels stood their ground against an imperial army. Women gathered to proclaim to the world that they deserved the right to vote as much as any man. Our youngest president ever assumed office in a friend’s home after an assassination by an anarchist. Come share in an experience this history in a way that can only be found in New York, beginning in Niagara Falls. • Feel the surging power of one of the largest waterfalls in the world, shared by two nations. • Visit where a national tragedy at a world’s fair gave America one of its most influential presidents, who led the country into the Twentieth Century as a world power. • Follow a highway of water, dug by countless men with shovels and sore backs, which brought prosperity to a new nation. • Become inspired by the bravery of women in Victorian dresses who demanded nothing less than equality with men. • Come to a fort located where native tribes traded for centuries and where the Continental Army repulsed a siege during the American Revolution.

  • City of Syracuse
    Downtown Revitalization Initiative Application Template Applications for the Downtown Revitalization Initiative will be received by the Regional Councils. Applicant responses for each section should be as complete and succinct as possible. Applications must be received by the Central NY Regional Economic Development Council by 4:00 PM on June 14, 2017. Submit your application as a Word Document to [email protected]. BASIC INFORMATION Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Region: Central New York Municipality Name: Syracuse Downtown Name: Downtown Syracuse County: Onondaga Vision for Downtown. Provide a brief statement of the municipality’s vision for Downtown revitalization. Downtown Syracuse is the heart of our City and its resurgence serves as a model for neighborhood redevelopment initiatives city-wide. While considerable investment in several key projects has helped the city reclaim vibrancy over the past 10 years, Downtown Syracuse still has room to grow. The urban core lacks connectivity between strategic investments in Armory Square and the new Convention District; investing in the space between these success stories is necessary to catalyze additional investment and capitalize on previous success. Through the $10 Million Downtown Revitalization Initiative, Downtown Syracuse will prioritize investments in projects that create a defined sense of place on the southern end of Downtown, strategically filling in market gaps and championing a higher quality of life for all Downtown residents, employees, and visitors, and connecting to important neighborhood gateways to the south and west. Justification. Provide an overview of the Downtown, highlighting the area’s defining characteristics and the reasons for its selection. Explain why the Downtown is ready for Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) investment, and how that investment would serve as a catalyst to bring about revitalization.
