The interstate that drove right through people's living rooms may soon resemble a green-speckled throw rug. I-81 pierces through the center of Syracuse, N.Y. Before it was completed in 1969, thousands of homes, and a neighborhood or two, were either sacrificed or ripped apart-all in the name of interstate progress. Now I-81 could end up above somebody's mantel, perhaps the one that belongs to Van Robinson. Robinson is president of the Syracuse Common Council, and wants the major freeway to be reduced to dust in order to open up more green space in the urban core.
