Crime there would get much worse when closed to traffic.

Getting rid of the loop...They're just trying to get people downtown...but no one goes there except for work.

Plazas reinvented shopping and the web is doing even better. Except for very local shopping, I do everything else on the web. Saves time and gas.

The days of the train at Sibley's are over. It's just not the same world.

It was a wonderful city in my youth.

“The idea nobody has apparently thought of is to label the Boulevard and the remaining freeway sections I-81 Business (using the green-and-white shields) to lure more people downtown.”

The idea of demolishing 81 seems ridiculous to me. I drive through Syracuse regularly and can’t see how this would be a good idea. But at least IF they do it, they should make it 81 business... though there’s currently no Business routes anywhere in NY...
