In June, the Fleming Town Board presented a resolution to the New York State Department of Transportation, the Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council, and the Cayuga County Legislature calling for the need to maintain the existing alignment of I-81 through Syracuse.
Fleming’s leaders requested that the DOT carefully consider the negative consequences a boulevard plan and a rerouting of traffic away from Syracuse would bring to Fleming. Increased commercial and truck traffic travelling through Fleming would cause safety issues while decreasing the quality of life for town residents.
