ex Upstater here...
So if I going from say Watertown to Binghampton, I’ll need to take 481 around Syracuse?
Then build me a connector from 481 to 81 that crosses over the Seneca Turnpike.
Frankly, eminent domain is what made the Interstate System what it is.
Just because it can be done doesn’t mean it should. There are less expensive alternatives. And Syracuse has far, far bigger problems.
