Syracuse May Scale Back Highway Plan

Syracuse - Town council is on the verge of scaling back its proposed Ind.13 highway project from one mile to five blocks. Although no vote was taken Tuesday, council instructed an engineer to return Jan.20 with a cost figure if the project entailed only three lanes from Medusa Street south to Chicago Street. The original plan included the three-lane segment plus five lanes south past Bowser Street. Council has been sitting on the project since it granted preliminary approval last fall.The vote was close and many residents oppose the idea of a five-lane highway through the heart of the town's business district. If the council kills the entire project, the town would still be obligated to repay the federal government $112,000 in engineering costs already incurred. But an engineer for Butler Fairman and Seufert Ind., Indianapolis, told council the town could approve the entire project and then tell the state they can afford to do only one segment.
