Strathmore Saturdays are a summer treat! "Strathmore Saturdays" are when the Syracuse Parks Department, closes the roads in Upper Onondaga Park to automobile traffic... ...making it a great place for people of all ages to bicycle, rollerblade, run, or stroll! The hours of "Strathmore Saturdays" are 7:00am -11:30am every Saturday morning from Memorial Day until Labor Day. Who doesn't love a car-free park? Community meeting, Monday, November 9 (7pm) at Most Holy Rosary Parish Center to learn about a proposal to place the Onondaga Highlands-Swaneola Heights Historic District on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. This could be the second historic district in Strathmore, following the designation of the Strathmore-By-The-Park district a couple of years ago. Not coincidentally, that area has seen higher average real estate values than the rest of the neighborhood. The proposed Onondaga Highlands-Swaneola Heights Historic District would be bounded by Bellevue Avenue on the north, Onondaga Avenue (and Terrace) on the east, Crossett Street on the south, and Clairmonte Avenue on the west. Representatives of OPRHP, as well as the GSNA, will be at the meeting to explain why the area has been nominated to the State and National Registers, and what a listing on the Registers means. For additional information on the State and National Registers please refer to the enclosed Frequently Asked Questions about the State and National Registers of Historic Places in New York State. For questions about this public meeting and the district, please contact either Chris Capella-Peters of the Central New York Regional Office of OPRHP at 315-492-1756 or Tony Opalka of the Albany office at 518-237-8643 x3278.
