SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — The latest from the Renew-81-for-all lawsuit as the group decided they will not use that direct route to the Court of Appeals after a mid-level court already said no to taking it to those justices.
Although that’s not the end of the road for Renew 81.
The group and others joining them like the Towns of DeWitt and Salina, a Skaneateles citizens group and others have a pending case in federal court.
First filed in November of 2022, the group is suing the Federal Highway Administration for granting the projects approval.
In a decision back in February, the State Court’s Fourth Appellate Division allowed the State Department of Transportation to continue the I-81 renovation project without a lower court’s limitations.
