Officials have sent a notice about the survey to about 3,800 residents living in the area bounded by Erie Boulevard East on the north and east sides, East Genesee on the south side, and Salt Springs Road and Seeley Road on the west side.
The survey, which will remain open for feedback until April 2, can be found here.
Empire State Development, Le Moyne College, the City of Syracuse, and the Town of DeWitt are providing funding for the survey. The plan developed from survey results will include recommendations to improve physical infrastructure and enhance services, “building on existing initiatives with a long-term plan for the next 20 years.” It will provide a vision for future municipal and college investments to improve the neighborhood for all residents, “complementing Le Moyne’s 2015 Master Plan for on-campus growth by addressing the integration of the campus with the surrounding neighborhoods,” per the release.
“Using neighborhood data and input from residents and property owners, the LANDS project will create recommendations to invest in the neighborhood adjacent to Le Moyne College. This effort aligns with our goal to improve quality of life for all in our Syracuse neighborhoods,” Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh said. “I encourage everyone in the area to participate by offering feedback to help Le Moyne, the Town of DeWitt and the city understand the different challenges the area faces and develop innovative and effective ways to address them.”
