Study Overview
The Midler Ave / New Court Ave Multi-Modal Study is focused on improving and expanding bicycle and pedestrian connections across municipal lines. Along the northern edges of the City of Syracuse, the Court Street / New Court Ave / Midler Ave corridor functions as a singular route connecting the City’s Northside, the hamlet of Lyncourt in the Town of Salina, the New Court Ave neighborhood in the Town of DeWitt, and the City’s Eastwood neighborhood, eventually leading to the Empire State Trail along Erie Blvd East. This planning effort aims to identify improvements that will:
- Increase pedestrian and bicycle trips,
- Reduce vehicle miles traveled / personal vehicle trips,
- Improve pedestrian and bicycle safety along the corridor,
- Improve accessibility and mobility for all road users, and
- Preserve existing infrastructure and focus investment in areas already served by significant infrastructure investments.
