Unveiling of a Plan
Syracuse mayoral candidate, Joe Nicoletti held a press conference on Wednesday morning, July 22nd at Syracuse University. Nicoletti announced his government restructuring and modernization plan. One part of the plan was to improve transportation in the center of the downtown area of Syracuse.
Where will all the buses go?
If Nicoletti is elected mayor this upcoming November, some people in the downtown area could be left wondering where all the buses went. “We are going to move the main bus lines off the main streets in the center of the city and move them to ancillary drop off points adjacent to the city,” said the mayoral candidate.
According to Nicoletti, moving the bus lines would hopefully mean cleaner air around main streets, more successful stores and more money invested in the local economy. His overarching goal is to revitalize the city of Syracuse.
Listen up bikers!
It doesn’t stop with buses. If he is elected, Nicoletti would encourage bike travel between Syracuse University and the central part of downtown. “We’re hoping that would discourage the use of vehicular traffic to downtown and back to the university and increase the use of it for students,” said Nicoletti.
In addition, Nicoletti would push through a city ordinance that requires motorists to turn off any idle engine running for more than five minutes.
