Urban CNY’s “Church Traffic Advisory” for Annual Mountain Goat Run Sunday May 1st

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Urban CNY is issuing a church traffic advisory in advance of the Mountain Goat Run in Clinton Square on Sunday, May 1. Every year, congregants of churches serving the African-American community are met with road blocks and delays, as they attempt to navigate through the city in an effort to regularly scheduled church services.

Annually, there are rumblings from our religious community regarding access to church on “Mountain Goat Sunday”, this year the event falls on May 1st.  There are dozens of churches within the Traffic Advisory Zone, which means that you may have to allow extra time and/or change your route to avoid the annual collision between The Mountain Goat Run and Sunday church morning church attendees.  Pay special attention to the Critical Pathway to Church section, these roads will intermittently be closed to traffic, possibly delaying arrival to your place of worship.
