When Marie Kearse-Ace was young, she spent her afternoons visiting Wilson Park with her friends, eating at restaurants on Harrison Street and roller skating at the rink on Oakwood Avenue before she was forced to leave.
Kearse-Ace grew up in a house that her grandfather built on Renwick Place, where the parking garage for Upstate University Hospital now sits. In her neighborhood, she recalled grocery stores, hairdressers, youth centers and a sense of community all within feet of her house.

The bridge had been closed since April 14, when it was damaged by a commercial vehicle.
The DOT installed a temporary bridge above Interstate 87’s southbound lanes on May 2, and has worked since then to install approaches, ramps, pavement and railing connecting to the new bridge.
The speed limit over the Northway on Sitterly Road has been reduced to 30 mph, and the temporary bridge is restricted for overweight and oversized loads.
