Possible additions are extensions of the Onondaga Lake Trail, the Old Erie Canal in Camillus, the Onondaga Creek Walk, downtown and the Ledyard Canal, which will run from the villages of Manlius to Fayetteville. This act has resulted in a multibillion dollar fund to decrease the impacts of transportation and ease congestion. According to Jeff Olson, NYS DOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator, a number of state agencies can fund programs for making our streets and roads safer for bicycling and walking. Additionally, county and local highway departments can be active in the process. Concerns addressed in this plan will improve these transportation modes and make the Syracuse Metropolitan area a better place to live.
Citizens play a vital role in helping to initiate, develop and maintain bicycle programs.
Ideas for improvements to safety and convenience of biking in Onondaga County are needed.
