In January 2017, the Camillus Town Board approved a resolution in support of maintaining Interstate 81’s existing alignment through the City of Syracuse.
The resolution notes that “the future of I-81 presents one of the greatest planning decisions to face New York State in decades and the outcome will impact our region for the next 100 years.”
Further, the resolution states, “Turning Interstate 81 into Route 481 leaves no alternative north-south Route for national defense, national disaster, and general maintenance and repairs.”
