The man leading the charge to demolish and reconfigure Interstate 81 in Syracuse says progress is being made. Proposals studying the effects of removing the highway have started coming in, said Common Counclior-at-Large Van Robinson. The city sent out requests for proposals from over 100 companies and have already received 19 back, according to Robinson. Robinson has long been involved in the effort to destroy I-81. The highway is very unsafe according to Robinson. "I've heard from so many experts who've said they're amazed that we have not had many fatalities [on] the highway," said Robinson. However, the actual removal and reconstruction of I-81 is still years away.
