I thought the static maps weren't a good comparison, so I created a MapWarper comparison for the Syracuse Community Grid.

From: Community Grid Alternative: Butternut Street to Bear Street, Figure 3-25 https://parsonsecmpublic.s3.amazonaws.com/I-81-DEIS/07-2021/03%20Alternatives_July%202021.pdf

In many ways, the Community Grid / Business I-81 will simply return Downtown Syracuse with the Oswego Boulevard Expressway back to the way it was in the late 1950s and early 1960s before the Viaduct.
