Syracuse City Council Meeting: EIS Process and Schedule Updates (March 8, 2011)

The Syracuse City Council on March 8, 2011, discussed the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process and the schedule for upcoming transportation projects. Primary goals include enhancing regional mobility and peak-period traffic management. Objectives also focus on promoting transportation modes and supporting local growth. Several alternatives were evaluated, including road widening and new highway configurations. Public engagement is critical, and citizens are encouraged to share feedback by March 25. Future steps involve engineering detail and a public hearing on the Draft EIS in early 2012.
