Oh, that US 17 sign has been there for at least 9 months now. I don't think it's getting fixed.

I believe NYSTA had one or more error US 60 shields out in western NY for years.

The sign goof I would find the most amusing is if they were to erect an erroneous US 104 sign along NY 104, given that was the road's old designation. By the way, is the old US 104 sign still posted at the 2nd St./Ferry Ave. intersection? Or has it been replaced with a "correct" NY 104 sign?

Or the pair of them in Oswego at the end of NY 48?

Random NY note that I forgot to mention earlier: A bunch of US 20A shields in Livingston County are erroneous NY 20A shields.
Here's one example, and here's another. Ironically in both of those examples, you can see a correct US 20A shield in the background.  :confused:
And here's another one 10 miles away at 20A/15A. So you get the idea!

And the first one has three characters squeezed into a two-digit shield, which is a lot more rare in New York (several of them around Geneseo).

NY 48 ends at old US 104 in Oswego, not Fulton. Also, it appears that the last time the Google Car visited the intersection (October 2013), the NY 48 end sign had a US 48 shield.

Wake me up when someone finds a NY 1 shield.

I have. One only, and probably construction related, but I've seen it and photoed it.

Yes, Exit 59 showed as US 60 on the eastbound advance guide sign for years. NYSTA and I went back and forth on this in email and it looks like it was corrected in 2020 or 2021. It's a shame they didn't replace the whole sign, as it's one of the NYSTA signs constructed with non-reflective lettering.

So you ruined my fun passing that sign all the time.

Guilty as charged but at least you're no longer confused as to whether it's really NY Route 60 or US Route 62 (also in the relative area).

You realize few people passing that sign legit care? I know of other errors but I am not going to run to the authorities to get it fixed.

I'd say the same thing about I-81 existing on a viaduct in Syracuse!

Between exits 18 and 19, I'm noticing that a lot of the pylons have had their wires removed.
If you ever feel useless, remember that CR 504 exists.

I support the 81 demolition. I just would prefer it go to the expansion of new housing of Section 8 variety and not gentrification. We have enough housing for hipsters as is.

Also these are not the same situation

Heh.  Syracuse has been weird about new apartments, though.  You have the new apartments across from the State Office Building and then in the Corbett building and the Smith's building...but then Hamilton House sits there, entirely vacant (needs to be demolished).

Pioneer Homes was betting on a $50m grant for new Section 8 housing like you want, but that fell through.  They say they will somehow go through the renovations nonetheless.

All that said, I think downtown Syracuse's big problem is that it's still a food desert.  Needs a real grocery store.

I'm with Adam in my assessment of I-81. I'd support it...if there were grants for Section 8 and other assistance programs involved. Otherwise, it's just going to gentrify and price out the people who live in the area. Not as much money/tax revenue in Section 8 housing as there is in luxury apartments and rich people don't like living near "the poors", so...

Food desert could have been addressed with assistance programs. Really wouldn't be that hard to throw in tax breaks for supermarkets. But again, the "target demographic" for the renewal either has cars or the money to order delivery.

I'm not so sure I'm seeing the same thing here.  There's really not a lot of space being freed up here, as Almond St will still exist (it's not like there's acreage behind the likes of Madison Towers or the Upstate properties).  Outside of Pioneer Homes, there's not a lot of opportunity and if the proposal is to build more brand new residential public projects, I don't think there's the political will to do so. 

The building across from the State Office Building is insane when it comes to rents ($3k+).  People have no idea who lives there and, more importantly, why.  Rich people in Syracuse that want to rent?  Doing what for jobs?  Why move in the middle of a food desert?  There's the Internet delivery services, but I'm not so sure downtown residents enjoy being dependent upon them.

Other developments downtown seem to be much saner, but it does seem people are generally moving into downtown Syracuse (i.e., we're talking apartments, not condos).  That'll drive rents up at private properties no matter what due to our reliance on capitalism.

I mean, I-81 is going to do a lot of work on roads downtown, but it is a transportation project and not a residential development project.  It'll be interesting to see what the City does as the viaduct comes down, but I don't think much will change on say, Crouse and Irving or Erie in the short-term.

If you mean exits 18 and 19 of current I-81, those exits roughly bracket the 81/690 weave zone, and per http://tinyurl.com/3jxednu8 . there weren't *any* pylons in that vicinity in November 2021.

Otoh, if you mean exits 18 and 19 of the NYST, are you referring to these in https://tinyurl.com/yv59dexz ?
The Washington/Baltimore/Arlington CSA has two Key Bridges, a Minnesota Avenue, and a Mannasota Avenue.

I think NYSBA has a problem with the readers at the Mid-Hudson Bridge.  I was on the bridge back on May 28th, and I just had it posted to my EZPass account but they charged me the Pay by Plate amount.  I fired an inquiry off to EZPass to see if I can get that fixed to the proper amount ($1.55), but I don't know of any other way to get it fixed.

I wish Bestpass offered services to individuals since their toll operations team is great at getting issues fixed.

If you have that plate linked to E-ZPass account, even plate charge should be at reduced rate and charged to the account.
