Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Pittsburgh public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Liberty Avenue and Bloomfield Bridge Traffic Improvements
A $2.3 million project to upgrade traffic signals and improve the busy Liberty Avenue intersection at Main Street and the Bloomfield Bridge, mostly paid by a state grant.
Charles Anderson Bridge Project Engineering
Council finalized agreements raising the Charles Anderson Bridge project to $70 million — a $6.3 million increase covered by federal highway funds at no extra cost to the city, plus an amended Mosites Construction contract reimbursed 100%.
Street Resurfacing and ARPA Fund Reallocations
The city is racing a December 31 federal deadline to spend pandemic relief money, so committees moved leftover ARPA funds into street resurfacing and swapped in bond money for projects that won't bill in time. Paving, the Fourth Division project, and Cowley all stay funded — just from different sources.
