5-Lane Highway Plans Approved

SYRACUSE - Despite an apparent mountain of opposition, Syracuse Town Council approved design plans Tuesday for a five-lane highway through the village. The decision came on a narrow 3-2 vote during a special meeting before a packed crowd at town hall. Instead of killing the project, council chose to approve the design but made it clear the project could still be killed. Supporting the design were Jack Matney, Bill Cutter and Carol Koble.Council president Barb Carwile and councilman Jake Bitner opposed it - and received throngs of handshakes afterward. The road project spans a mile through the heart of the town's business district and would replace the current two lanes and frontage roads blamed for a high number of minor traffic accidents. Council president Barb Carwile, who said this spring that a vote by council could be six months away, said the vote was called after the state said they were waiting for council's decision.
