Can this U S city heal racial wounds by busting up its freeway?

By Syndicated Content By Andy Sullivan SYRACUSE, N.Y. (Reuters) â For more than 50 years, Interstate 81 has cut through the heart of hard-luck Syracuse, New York, raining vehicle exhaust on its Southside neighborhood, where most residents are Black and poor. Now, New York State wants to replace that elevated stretch of freeway with a street-level boulevard to knit the cityâs urban grid back together. Construction could begin as soon as next year. The plan has stirred visions of renewal in a city where one in three residents lives in poverty. Some here say it could also make amends to Black residents who were displaced by Interstate 81âs construction decades ago and have been living in its shadow ever since.
