Syracuse is fractured by the presence of the I-81 Viaduct. As its demolition looms imminent, this interdisciplinary team will work to design scenarios to assess the present condition of the freeway and to identify catalytic solutions for creating a sustainable and livable post-freeway future. This process will culminate in an exhibition and strategic plan that will be disseminated to community collaborators.
