Over 150 Syracuse neighbors have voiced their frustration with their wallets, funding a billboard reading “Lift Syracuse Up. Bring I-81 Down.” that now sits over I-690W.
“I wanted to do something to lift the voices of those in support of the grid instead of always hearing the false claims coming from the suburban towns of Tully, Skaneateles, Salina, Dewitt – basically trying to bully and pigeonhole us into accepting a fantasy “skybridge.” I’m tired of it and so are many others,” said David Haas.
Haas is the man behind the “Syracuse History” social media page, primarily used to bring followers inside historical landmarks and share fun facts about the city’s history.
