Creekwalk expansion to link Armory Square northward in Syracuse
City planners aim to extend the creekwalk from Franklin Square through Armory Square, transforming Wildes-Wizhed lined blocks into redeveloped space. Construction set for 2001 with most work finished by 2002, funded by 38 million dollars in federal grants and more possible aid. The project follows the first phase built in the 1990s along the Inner Harbor and aims to boost use beyond residents and workers.

Creekwalk timetable in doubt due to sewer upgrades
Syracuse plans creekwalk extension next year but faces delays from Onondaga County sewer upgrades and an aging Erie Boulevard bridge. County aims to stop raw sewage discharges into Onondaga Creek as part of a 380 million lake cleanup, with work not starting until May 2003 near Franklin and Armory squares. City seeks synchronized timing and a dedicated sewer line, while the bridge renovation may need separate funding.
