Ride the High Line

Ride the High Line

Central New Yorker’s are fearless.

Who else could endure and enjoy an outdoor festival and a zip line during moderate winds and temperatures in the high-30s?  Despite the chilly weather however, the attendance at inaugural the Zip Line Fest and Food Truck Rodeo was steady and strong. Students, business owners from the neighborhood, elected officials, and even families from other states (today was the last day of Parent’s Weekend at SU) filled Forman Park, and the crowds spilled onto East Genesee street on Sunday.

Parks & Rec Commissioner Bey Muhammad came out with his family to enjoy the festivities.

The energy the event created rivaled Armory Square, and maybe even more well-known public spaces such as Byrant Park, Rittenhouse Square, or Dupont Circle.

The event was also sponsored by 40 Below, the City of Syracuse, SU and the Save the Rain Program.
Dancing in the Park was also a highlight of the day.

PB&J's Lunchbox to Midtown for the day (they are usually in Armory Square) for today's festival.

PB&J’s Lunchbox also invaded the Eastside for the day (the mobile food truck is usually in Armory Square).

What a lively and unique way to kick off Phase two of the Connective Corridor construction project.

Centro's SU to Destiny Route

Centro’s SU to Destiny Route: Congestive Headway Failure

Check out this recent post on Syracuse Urban Properties (aka Syrup) about using a trolley or tram to bring visitors from DestiNY USA to downtown.  We are in favor of that scenario, and would also recommend reviving OnTrack service through the city.

Anyone who’s ridden Centro’s jam-packed SU-Destiny Route on a Friday evening would agree. OnTrack would certainly be beneficial during any construction or demolition of Route I81.
