TAP 2022 erie blvd west pedestrian and bike improvements, city of syracuse, onondaga county scoping & 1-4

This $670,000 Formula Grant awarded by the Federal Highway Administration's Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on August 26, 2024 will support the "TAP 2022 Erie Blvd West Pedestrian and Bike Improvements" project in the City of Syracuse, Onondaga County, New York. The grant funds will be used to convert one westbound lane and shoulder along Erie Boulevard West into a mixed-use trail/cycle track from West Genesee Street to West Street, improve sidewalk connectivity as needed, and install sharrows (shared lane markings) between West Street and Franklin Street where the trail is not possible. This project aims to build on existing multi-use trails constructed by the City and State, providing a safe multimodal link from the western side of the city to the transportation system and downtown. The New York State Department of Transportation is the sub-awardee and will be responsible for executing this comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure enhancement initiative.
