Syracuse University to Assume Management of Marshall Square Mall Parking Lot

Beginning on Monday, August 22, the Syracuse University Parking and Transportation Services Office will assume management of the Marshall Square Mall parking lot located on East Adams Street. The lot, previously owned by the city of Syracuse, will become the University’s first mobile pay parking area.

Between August 22 and 29, the lot will be free and open to the public for use during Syracuse Welcome and Fall 2022 move-in. On Monday, August 29, the lot will become a 24-hour pay lot. Those parking in the lot will need to follow directions posted on the lot signage in order to submit payment electronically – customers will be able to text a short number, scan a QR code, or type an address into their phone’s web browser in order to access the payment website. As the payment is mobile-based, customers will have the option of continuing to add time to their virtual meter through their phones.

All drivers, including those with Syracuse University parking passes, will need to pay when utilizing the lot. Parking is available in four-hour increments. Enforcement will be provided by Parking and Transportation Services.

Temporary Road Closures: Sunday, May 1 for Mountain Goat Run

The 44th annual Mountain Goat Run will take place Sunday, May 1. More than 2,500 runners are expected to take part in the race, which will affect traffic and roads in the city throughout the day. The 10-mile course traverses a large section of the City of Syracuse, including roads on campus and around the University area. Members of the campus community should be advised that temporary road closures will take place between 9:45 a.m. and noon on the day of the race. Centro shuttles and Syracuse University trolleys will also be delayed during that time, effecting travel to and from South Campus.

Runners will enter the University area from East Colvin Street by Manley Field House, necessitating road closures along Comstock Avenue. They will turn left on University Place through Thornden Park, exiting the park down Madison Street, and then turning right on South Crouse Avenue and left onto East Genesee Street.

Race organizers ask neighbors to proceed with caution and allow for additional travel time to your destination if they are traveling near the routes. Organizers also encourage community members to cheer on the race participants and join in the fun at the finish line in Clinton Square.
