Stay connected!
In the fall of 2015 we launched an International Ideas Competition to hear what folks had to say about the future of Erie Boulevard between DeWitt and Syracuse. We received lots of ideas, nearly 70 proposals from 16 countries around the globe.
Since then, we have been working with local community and world wide experts to reimagine the Erie Canal Corridor!

History & Future

The corridor now has the potential to become part of the longest continuous bicycle and pedestrian trail in North America!
