SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA and other

infrastructure to support long-range transportation planning efforts.
    The objectives of the Project are to:

deficiencies, particularly associated with aging bridge structures and 
non-standard/non-conforming design features within the project limits 
along Interstate 81 and Interstate 690.
     Address vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle geometric and 
operational deficiencies within the project limits.
     Maintain or enhance vehicle access to the interstate 
highway network and key destinations (i.e., business districts, 
hospitals, and institutions) within neighborhoods within and near 
Downtown Syracuse.
     Maintain or enhance the vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle 
connections in the local street network within the project limits in 
and near Downtown Syracuse to allow for connectivity between 
neighborhoods, business districts, and other key destinations.
     Maintain access to existing local bus service and enhance 
transit amenities within the project limits in and near Downtown 
Syracuse.
