The New York Dept. of Transportation has released this month an updated draft design report and draft environmental impact statement on a Syracuse highway project that aims to fix half-century-old environmental injustices against the city's Black community.
Residents hope the new draft document incorporates certain changes from the prior 2016 study to ensure the well being of people living near the massive project to turn a crumbling viaduct into a "community grid" that connects the neighborhood to better health care and economic opportunities.
