Comstock Avenue to Close to All Traffic Except Shuttles Following Red Hot Chili Peppers Concert

Syracuse University’s Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) will make a temporary change to campus traffic patterns following the conclusion of the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert at the JMA Wireless Dome on Friday, April 14.

As the concert ends, PTS and the Syracuse Police Department will close Comstock Avenue to all traffic except parking shuttles, which will travel between the College Place bus stop, the Colvin Street and Comstock Avenue lots, and the Skytop Lot.

The concert is anticipated to end between 10:15 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., and at that time, PTS will direct all traffic away from Comstock Avenue between Waverly Avenue and East Colvin Street. As a significant crowd is expected for the concert, this will allow for the efficient exit and transportation of the concert attendees from the shuttle stop at College Place to their parking lots on South Campus.

The road will reopen as soon as the concert shuttles are cleared. Regular shuttles to South Campus and other campus shuttles will continue to run during and after the event, though arrivals and departures may be delayed due to the large amount of vehicular traffic in the University area.

More information about parking for upcoming events is available via Syracuse University News, or on the Parking and Transportation website.

Temporary Disruptions to Campus Transportation Services

In an effort to proactively communicate with the campus community, the University’s Office of Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) is asking its riders to prepare for short-term disruptions to its usual trolley and shuttle services for the remainder of the Spring 2023 semester.

Due to an ongoing CDL driver shortage, PTS is struggling to consistently fill its planned shifts, leading to last-minute changes to trolley and shuttle routes. In the past few weeks, this has led the office to delay the start of the Blue and Orange ’Cuse Trolley loops until the afternoon hours or reduce service to one or more shuttle routes.

As soon as the office becomes aware of the need to delay or cancel any of its services, it will quickly post the information to the front page of its website and share the information on its Twitter and Instagram. At the same time, PTS will also provide an alternative shuttle or service for community members to utilize—i.e., a parallel Centro route or its own late-night safety shuttle service.

While PTS continues to make every effort to minimize disruption to the campus community in the coming weeks, the department will continue its hiring efforts and hopes to be able to return to its full complement of drivers by the start of the Fall 2023 semester.
