Characteristics

Transportation

The car is very often the favored method to move around in Canastota. Nearby highways, such as New York Streetate Thruway, are rather easy to reach from any location in this part of the Syracuse metropolitan area, and it is very convenient to access a parking spot. It is challenging for pedestrians to navigate Canastota as very few daily errands can be run without a vehicle. The bike is a sometimes poor means of transportation in Canastota since the cycling infrastructure is not very extensive, and the topography is not particularly flat.
