A
B
And
and
then
you
know,
we
can
do
the
raised
hands
thing.
I
will
call
on
you
and
we
can
direct
your
question
to
the
correct
presenter
and
just
a
quick
note
on
questions
kind
of
like
we
did
last
week
for
the
pittsburgh,
water
and
sewer
authority.
B
Just
to
remember
if
you
have
a
very
specific
concern
that
might
have
to
do
with
your
property
or
a
permit
or
some
kind
of
personal
issue
that
you're
having
related
to
the
department,
you
can,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me
and
try
to
get
some
of
some
of
that
solved.
I
work
with
everyone
who
is
here
tonight
from
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
regularly,
so
we
can
definitely
work
to
solve
that
issue
and
our
domi
presenters
were
interested
in
learning
a
little
bit
more
about
you.
B
B
I
think
the
date
was
like
march
16th
or
something
of
2020
and
we
had
to
cancel
their
their
cohort
and
we
finally
kind
of
got
looped
around
and
were
able
to
start
virtually
so
they've
been
waiting
to
participate
in
the
civic
leadership
academy.
For
many
months.
B
B
C
Good
evening
everybody
I'm
jeff
skellick,
I'm
the
deputy
director
for
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure,
we're
going
to
go
through
the
agenda.
Real,
quick
I'll
go
over
the
department
overview
and
the
budget.
We
have
angie
martinez
who's,
our
senior
right-of-way
manager,
she's
going
to
go
over
the
planning
policy
and
permits
that's
going
to
be
followed
by
a
five-minute
break
and
we
have
eric
setzler.
Who
is
the
city's
chief
engineer,
he's
going
to
do
a
quick
overview
of
the
construction
division
and
we
have
mike
malik
who's
the
senior
project
engineer
in
our
traffic
division?
C
He's
going
to
go
over
the
traffic
department
for
2021.
C
What's
the
word
mobility,
it's
in
our
it's
in
our
title,
but
the
way
we
define
it
is
ability
to
move
freely
and
easily
its
ability
to
move
between
different
levels
in
society
or
employment.
C
C
C
The
fourth
goal
is
streets
and
intersections
can
be
safely
navigated
by
adolescent,
and
our
fifth
goal
for
achievement
is
a
combined
cost
of
transportation.
Housing
and
energy
does
not
exceed
45
percent
of
household
income
for
any
income
group
department
is
broken
down
into
three
bureaus.
We
have
the
planning
policy
and
permit
bureau.
They
work
on
everything
for
planning,
transportation,
planning,
policy
and
permits.
C
C
C
The
2021
capital
budget-
this
is
still
in
draft
format.
I
think
you
guys
already
had
a
presentation
with
omb
the
total
capital
budget
for
the
city.
Right
now
is
almost
125
million.
You
can
see.
The
big
chunk
of
the
capital
budget
is
for
domi
for
the
engineer
in
construction
and
we're
almost
at
68
million
dollars.
C
The
2021
engineering
construction
breakdown
for
domi
the
major
projects
that
we
have
major
the
major
dollar
amount
projects
we
have
excuse
me-
are
the
tip
projects
and
these
projects
are
transportation,
improvement
program,
and
these
are
projects
that
we
receive
federal
and
state
grants.
For
these
are
your
big
projects
in
the
city,
like
your
charles
anderson
bridge,
your
greenville
bridge,
big
big
dollar
amount
projects
like
that.
The
second
biggest
spend
expenditure
for
domi
is
street
resurfacing.
That's
at
17
million.
That
includes
your
pavement,
et
cetera,
like
that.
C
The
budget,
if
you
have
any
more
questions
about
the
budget,
it
can
be
found
at
the
the
links
provided
and
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
angie.
Angie
martinez
is
the
senior
right-of-way
manager
and
she's.
Actually,
the
acting
assistant
director
for
planning
and
she'll
be
going
over
the
plan
and
policy
impartments
for
the
city.
D
Well,
thank
you
jeff
for
that
introduction.
So
maybe
just
a
little
bit
of
background
from
me
prior
to
coming
to
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
I
worked
in
municipal
planning
and
in
traffic
or
transportation
in
the
northern
virginia
and
maryland
area
about
four
years
ago
decided
to
make
the
move
from
the
northeast
back
home
closer
to
where
I'm
from
in
ohio.
D
I
have
family
roots
in
pittsburgh
and
what
started
originally
with
the
city
in
the
department
of
city
planning
and
then
once
domi
was
created,
moved
over
from
city
planning
and
to
domey
and
then
over
the
course
of
my
three
and
a
half
years
with
the
department
moved
from
the
planning
and
policy
group
into
the
permits
and
inspections
division.
D
So,
as
jeff
said,
I'm
the
senior
right-of-way
manager,
which
means
I
oversee
our
permit
and
inspection
group
and
right
now
I
am
the
acting
assistant
director,
as
our
current
assistant
director
kim
lucas,
is
on
maternity
leave.
So
I'm
really
happy
to
be
with
you
guys
tonight,
presenting
on
sort
of
a
culmination
of
all
sorts
of
positions
and
sort
of
professional
journey
with
the
city.
So
far.
D
This
all
with
the
goal
of
trying
to
achieve
a
safer,
more
equitable
and
efficient
use
of
public
space.
That
is
really
domey's.
Roles
and
responsibilities
is
in
overseeing
the
management
of
you
know
our
public
rights
away,
our
bridges,
our
streets
and
the
assets
that
fall
within
them.
On
this
slide,
I
tried
to
present
just
a
bit
of
a
collage
of
how
I
see
that
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
So
to
me
this
means
everything
from
building
community
and
data
analysis
into
our
planning
recommendations.
D
It's
developing
guidelines
and
policies
for
everything
around
the
design
and
the
location
of
things
like
curb
cuts
to
operating
licenses
for
new
mobility
services
such
as
scooby's
or
e-bikes,
or
other
sort
of
technologies
and
mobility
services
that
might
be
coming
our
way
to
manage.
That
means
you
know
understanding
like
service
areas,
checking
for
insurance,
compliances,
just
trying
to
keep
pace
with
the
management
of
emerging
technologies
and
not
having
to
be
so
reactive.
D
Some
other
things
that
our
bureau
is
responsible
for
is
overseeing
the
management
of
two
city
contracts.
The
first
is
our
city
bus,
shelter,
contract.
So
all
bus
stops
and
transit
routes
are
managed
by
the
port
authority
of
allegheny
county.
That's
the
regional
transit
provider.
However,
the
city
is
actually
responsible
for
owning
and
maintaining
the
transit
shelters.
D
We
also
are
responsible
for
managing
and
maintaining
city
street
lights.
The
majority
of
those
are
the
big
cobra
headlights
that
you
see
mounted
on
duquesne,
light
wooden
poles,
and
then
we
also
have
a
number
of
city
street
lights
that
are
the
more
decorative
metal
metal
pole
with
the
you
know,
decorative
bulb
at
the
top.
D
What
that
looks
like
is
being
able
to
respond
to
emergency
and
maintenance
requests
when
we
have
issues
with
the
street
light,
that's
out
or
a
bus,
shelter,
that's
been
damaged,
but
then
also
making
decisions
about
where
to
install
new
shelters,
new
street
lights,
when
they
are
requested
by
members
of
the
public
community
groups,
council,
districts
and
being
able
to
evaluate
those
decisions,
understanding
that
we're
working
with
limited
resources
and
a
limited
budget.
So
that's
a
high
level
overview
of
the
breadth
of
the
work
of
our
bureau.
D
Maybe
it's
because
it's
the
end
of
the
year-
and
you
know
it's
been
just
quite
a
year
for
everyone.
I
thought
that
for
the
purpose
of
this
presentation,
I
would
just
touch
on
some
of
the
things
that
our
group
has
done
in
2020
and
then
give
you
a
little
bit
of
a
sense
of
some
of
the
things
that
we'll
be
working
on
in
2021.
D
So,
obviously,
something
that
nobody
could
have
foreseen
at
any
capacity
or
any
level
was
the
covid
19
emergency.
D
This
impacted
operations
in
the
city
at
many
levels,
where
we
felt
this
almost
immediately
was
in
the
request
for
from
the
retail
and
restaurant
industry
to
use
the
public
space,
so
sidewalks
parking
lanes
in
some
cases,
travel
lanes
in
order
to
provide
seating
areas
so
that
people
can
dine
safely
without
having
to
be
inside
and
so
domi
in
collaboration
with
the
mayor's
office,
public
safety,
pli
city
planning
a
whole,
our
nighttime
economy
manager-
and
you
know,
representation
from
business
groups
worked
to
develop
in
short
order
in
a
very
short
order,
a
mechanism
to
be
able
to
intake
and
evaluate
requests
for
outdoor
seating
and
public
space.
D
So
we
evaluate
evaluated
over
100
locations.
We
were
able
to
issue
permits
for
outdoor
seating
at
50
of
them.
The
two
that
are
you
know
provided
on
this
slide
are
oakland
avenue
and
oakland
and
shiloh
street
and
mount
washington.
D
Another
initiative
that
we
worked
on
in
response
to
this
was
or
is
in
developing
short-term
loading
zones
for
pickup
and
delivery,
primarily
for
restaurant
to
go
so
far.
We
have
only
issued
eight
of
those
short-term
parking
zones.
However,
as
expected,
we
are
seeing
an
increase
in
those
because
of
the
change
in
weather
and
then
also
additional
restrictions
that
we're
seeing
coming.
You
know
to
keep
everyone
safe
and
reduce.
You
know
reduce
indoor,
dining
and
potential
exposure
and
transfer
of
the
carbon
19
virus.
D
As
a
part
of
these
initiatives.
We
also
developed
a
winterization
guideline,
so
we
knew
early
on
in
the
summer
that
you
know
this
was
looking
like
something
that
we
were
going
to
be
in,
for
you
know
in
the
long
haul,
and
so
we
worked
to
develop
some
protocol
for
how
these
some
of
these
outdoor
dining
spaces
could
be
converted
with
tents
and
heaters
and
other
things
so
that
operations
of
those
those
services
could
continue
through
the
winter
months.
D
We
are
also
in
the
process
of
evaluating
the
effectiveness
of
these
strategies,
so
domi-
and
you
know
our
partners,
the
mayor's
office,
the
other
departments
we
collaborated
with.
You
know
we
really
did
this
to
try
to
be
in
support
of
industries
and
local
businesses
that
we
knew
you
know
might
be
hurting.
D
You
know
we
want
to
know
if
some
of
these
initiatives
were
helpful
in
being
able
to
sustain
these
businesses
throughout
this
very
challenging
time,
so
we're
working
to
survey
and
ask
questions
of
the
people
we
issued
permits
for
to
see
if
they
found
this
firm,
this
process
to
be
a
success,
but
it
was
a
major
lift,
totally
unexpected
and
I
think
really
speaks
to
the
value
of
staff
and
the
city
to
be
able
to
sort
of
move
quickly
and
on
our
feet
when
challenged
by
something
like
this.
D
D
D
Most
likely
things
like
traffic
calming
near
schools,
signals,
speed,
humps,
signage,
sidewalk,
restoration
or
not
sidewalks,
crosswalk,
restoration,
sort
of
solutions
that
are
identified
as
potential
barriers.
I'm
happy
to
say
that
the
2020,
the
first
year
of
the
program,
was
really
not
all
that
disrupted
by
covid.
Although
you
know,
students
are,
you
know,
primarily
you
know,
being
schooled
from
home.
D
We
were
able
to
do
a
lot
of
work
with
our
four
schools,
one
in
his
word:
arlington,
homewood
and
northside
sort
of
teeing
up
the
existing
conditions,
talking
to
school
administrators,
doing
our
walkability
audits
to
identify
issues
all
in
advance
of
you
know,
students
not
having
to
be
you
know
in
school
for
us
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
for
that
sort
of
data
collection.
D
I
am
hopeful
that
you
know
this
this
program
as
it
runs
into
2021
and
2022.
That
will
actually
have
some
of
those
physical
improvements.
Those
safety
improvements
installed
at
such
a
time
that
it's
safe
for
students
to
return
back
to
you
know
to
their
schools
for
schooling,
so
we're
really
excited
and
proud
about
this
program
and
you'll
definitely
see
more
from
2020
was
also
a
big
year
for
us,
because
we
published
our
bike
plus
master
plan.
D
It
has
been
over
20
years
since
the
city
of
pittsburgh
had
updated
our
bike
plan
and
obviously
a
lot
has
changed
in
20
years
the
city
has
changed
where
people
live
and
work
and
how
they
want
to
get
around
how
we
think
about
safety
and
environmental
concerns
and
vehicle
traffic
traffic
congestion
has
changed.
D
Additionally,
I
would
say
the
the
transportation
industry
has
also
evolved
in
our
thinking
about.
You
know:
bicycle
facility
design,
so
I
think
most
people
when
they
think
about
you,
know
bicycle
infrastructure,
they're
thinking
about
cycle
tracks.
You
know
the
penn
avenue
you
know
painted
green
cycle
track,
two
ways:
bollards,
that's
not
that's,
not
the
end-all,
be-all,
there's
a
lot
of
other
strategies,
so
the
two
photos
that
are
provided
here,
the
the
first
is
the
south
side.
Neighborhood
way.
D
This
was
a
connection
that
was
created
in
the
south
side
within
the
existing
cartway.
So
not
a
huge
capital
project,
lift
using
pavement
markings
to
better
designate.
You
know
the
roadway
and
multiple
users,
the
cyclists,
the
drivers,
the
cars
and
then
you
can
see
in
the
corner
there
some
signage
to
provide
some
way
finding
to
cyclists
so
that
they
can
find
the
best
and
most
appropriate
route
to
get
through
the
south
side.
D
The
photo
on
the
bottom
of
the
screen
is
an
example
of
a
pilot
project
that
we
did
for
a
small
traffic
circle
out
in
highland
park.
This
was
deployed,
you
know
using
you
know,
more
temporary
materials,
pavement
markings.
D
You
see
the
the
landscaping
that
is
theirs
in
in
pots
with
the
idea
that
you
know
if
this
is
a
successful
intervention,
if
it
combs
traffic,
if
it
continues
to
move
the
buses
and
the
vehicles
and
cyclists
more
safely
and
as
efficiently
as
the
existing
four-way,
stop
that
this
can
be
converted
into
something
that's
a
little
bit
more
hardscaped
and
permanent
in
nature.
D
D
We
are
working
in
partnership
with
a
with
an
organization
called
people
for
bikes
who
have
provided
some
pretty
substantial
financial
backing
in
order
for
us
to.
D
You
know,
really
focus
on
the
community
awareness
and
participation
of
the
changes
to
the
roadway
that
might
happen
as
we
build
out
our
bicycle
network,
we're
also
working
with
like
pittsburgh,
healthy
ride
and
others
up
in
the
right
hand,
corner
you'll
see
some
of
the
designs
that
have
been
done
to
promote
move
forward.
D
I
would
say
that
you
know
getting
back
to
you
know
how
the
industry
has
sort
of
evolved
over
the
past
20
years
and
more
recently,
something
that
sort
of
recognizes
that
one
of
the
places
where
it
can
be
challenging
or
difficult
to
advance
bicycle
infrastructure
is
in
the
community
either
feeling
as
though
they
were
not
aware.
They
were
not
consulted.
They
didn't
understand
the
alternatives
that
or
the
constraints
that
drove
the
decisions
to
install
or
not
install
bicycle
facilities
in
certain
areas.
D
So
the
move
forward
campaign
is
really
meant
to
increase
transparency
in
this
process
and
to
provide
to
residents.
You
know
access
to
information
and
ability
to
weigh
in
on
on
these
types
of
projects.
So
in
2019
or
excuse
me
in
2020
we
installed
13
miles
of
bicycle
infrastructure,
and
then
we
have
a
goal
which
is
ambitious
of
installing
50
additional
miles
over
the
course
of
this
project.
D
That
sounds
ambitious
and
I'm
sure
it's
raising
questions
for
you
as
pittsburgh
residents,
and
so
we
provided
to
you
some
additional
resources
in
this
presentation
where
you
can
take
a
look
at
the
bike
master
plan
get
an
understanding
of
you
know
the
importance
of
filling
in
these
gaps
of
in
our
existing
network
on
the
safety
and
environmental
and
other
benefits
that
come
along
with
that,
as
well
as
a
link
to
our
move
forward
pgh
website,
which,
if
you
have
not
already
been
engaged
in
any
of
those
projects.
D
I
highly
encourage
you
to
check
out
a
lot
of
effort.
Thoughtful
work
has
been
put
into
how
to
make
this
these
projects
accessible
to
residents
in
a
way
that
folks
feel
like
they
have
meaningful
participation
and
understanding
of
potential
changes.
That
may
happen
in
their
neighborhoods
in
their
communities,
and
you
will
hear
much
more
about
move
forward
pgh
throughout
the
next
several
years,
as
we
continue
to
build
out
and
push
forward
implementation
of
the
bike
master
plan.
D
One
of
my
last
slides
here
is
sort
of
my
bread
and
butter
in
the
area
of
public
space
permits.
So
dhoni
is
responsible
for
issuing
reviewing,
issuing
and
inspecting
over
20
different
types
of
permits
for
work
or
occupancy
in
the
public
right-of-way.
So
that
is
everything
from
sidewalk
cafes
to
excavation
permits
for
utilities
to
dig
up
the
road
and
service
their
lines.
It's
construction
permits
to
block
sidewalks
to
build
buildings
or
restore
facades.
D
It's
curb
cut
permits
for
residential
uses,
it's
very
anything
happening
in
the
public
space
more
likely
than
not
requires
a
permit
from
our
office
of
permits
and
inspections
in
2020.
Our
big
news
was
that
we
went
from
having
a
public-facing
purely
paper
application
permitting
process
to
moving
over
to
one
stop
pgh,
which
is
the
city's
online
permitting
platform.
D
This
was
a
major
effort
and
transition
for
us
because
we
did
it
all
during
the
covet
emergency,
so
that
meant
staff
had
to
really
adapt
very
quickly
to
new
technology
working
from
home,
and
we
we
didn't
miss
a
beat.
We
didn't
have
one
day
of
downtime.
D
In
addition
to
that
large
change
of
moving
our
business
online,
we
also
went
through
the
process
of
updating
our
business
practices.
We
took
a
look
at
the
permit
types
that
we
were
issuing.
We
took
a
look
at
the
fees
we
revised
our
permits.
We
revised
fees
were
appropriate.
D
You
know
in
order
to
better
streamline
the
permitting
process,
also
as
a
part
of
this
effort,
we
completely
overhauled
our
permit
website.
We
created
what
we're
calling
permit
one
pagers,
which
are
meant
to
be
resources
to
applicants
so
that
they
understand
I'm
requesting
to
build
a
curb
cut.
This
means
I
need
a
permit.
This
is
what
it's
going
to
cost
me.
This
is
what
domi
will
review
in
my
application,
the
documents
I
need
to
submit
the
best
time
for
me
to
submit
when
I
want
my
permit
on
such
day.
D
So
we
really
took
a
lot
of
care
to
trade.
Try
to
put
all
of
this
information
into
one
place,
to
make
things
as
easy
as
possible
for
applicants.
So,
if
you're
looking
to
get
a
permit
in
the
public
space,
I
highly
encourage
you
to
check
out
our
new
website
and
all
of
the
information
that's
available
there.
D
One
of
what
I
think
is
a
success
of
our
permits
and
inspections.
Bureau
for
2020
is
that
we
reduced
the
overall
number
of
permits
that
were
issued,
but
we
increased
our
fee
capture.
So
in
2020
we
issued
13
000
permits,
but
we
captured
more
than
two
million
dollars
in
additional
permit
fees,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
because
we
restructured
our
permits
in
such
a
way
that
we
eliminated
some
redundancy.
So
people
were
getting
two
permits
when
really
they
could
just
perform
work
under
one.
So
that
explains
the
drop
in
permits.
D
It
was
not
a
drop
in
business.
It
was
a
drop
in
the
way
permits
were
issued
and
then,
in
terms
of
fees,
those
that
capture
went
up
because
there
was
an
adjustment
to
certain
fee
types
and
then
also
the
biggie
was
working
with
pwsa,
who
is
now
paying
the
city
permit
fees
for
their
excavation
and
construction
permits.
D
So
this
our
bureau
will
be
concluding
and
presenting
recommendations
from
two
planning
efforts,
the
first
being
the
pittsburgh
27
or
excuse
me
2070
plan,
which
is
a
long-range
sort
of
mobility,
vision
for
pittsburgh,
as
well
as
the
strip
district
parking
and
mobility
plan,
recommendations
which
we
expect
to
release
in
the
spring,
we'll
be
kicking
off
two
additional
planning
efforts
in
2021,
the
first
being
in
the
hill
district
and
the
second
in
oakland.
D
These
will
be
done
in
collaboration
with
efforts
of
department
of
city
planning
in
the
oakland
area,
where
they
are
doing
a
specific
plan
and
then
also
as
dcp's
comprehensive
land
use
plan
process
kicks
out,
which
I'm
sure
you
guys
will
hear
a
bunch
about.
When
you
have
your
your
meeting
with
dcp,
some
of
the
other
things
that
you'll
start
to
see
from
us
are
mobility
hubs.
So
we
expect
that
in
the
spring
of
2021
spin,
which
is
a
electric
scooter
operator,
will
be
operating
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
D
We
have
been
working
with
spin
for
the
better
part
of
a
year
trying
to
site
locations
for
these
hubs
where
electric
scooters
can
be
stored
and
where
members
of
the
public
can
gain
access
to
all
sorts
of
mobility
services
in
in
the
area.
So
we're
really
excited
about
this
project.
Moving
forward
in
2021
we're
also
going
to
be
beginning
a
very
large
project,
which
is
the
conversion
of
our
city
street
lights,
to
led
bulbs
so
year
one
is
going
to
be
procurement
and
planning.
D
The
benefit
of
this
conversion
is
going
to
be
energy
and
cost
savings
to
the
city,
and
so
it
may
not
be
in
2021,
but
certainly
in
2022
and
beyond.
You
will
start
to
see
the
rollout
and
conversion
of
street
lights
into
a
higher
efficiency,
higher
performing
bulb,
and
so
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done
there.
D
D
For
over
a
year
as
of
october,
we
have
a
contractor
on
board
they're
working
to
get
all
of
our
shelters
into
a
state
of
good
repair,
painting
them
repairing
glass,
making
sure
that
power
is
wired
correctly,
to
make
sure
that
that
network
of
transit
shelters
is
as
best
as
it
can
be,
and
then
once
that
is
in
order
we'll
also
start
deploying
transit
shelters
in
new
locations.
D
The
last
thing
I
just
want
to
quickly
touch
upon
is
something
that
I
think
has
glossed
over
a
lot,
but
has
major
implications
to
the
work
of
our
department,
and
that
is
the
policy
implications
that
are
made
at
the
state
level.
So
the
state
legislator
has
made
you
know
certain
recommendations
or
past
certain
bills,
around
things
from
small
cells
to
autonomous
vehicles,
to
something
which
is
called
a
personal
delivery
device
that
all
impact
the
way
municipalities
can
regulate
these
types
of
services
in
the
public
right-of-way
and
in
the
public
space.
D
So
we
have
two
policy
analysts
that
are
very
much
keeping
their
eye
on
what
is
happening
at
the
state
level
and
thinking
through
some
of
the
policy
implications
that
our
department
and
our
city
will
have
to
deal
with
as
a
result,
and
so
this
is
all
an
effort
to
be
more
proactive,
as
opposed
to
being
reactive
when
we're
talking
about
you
know
these
types
of
changes
that
or
types
of
decisions
that
might
be
made
at
the
state
level,
but
impact
city
residents.
B
Okay,
I
think
we
can
bring
it
back.
Mike
malik,
it
looks
like
you
are
up.
B
E
So
I
am
a
project
manager
with
the
department
of
mobility
infrastructure
traffic
bureau
and
I
put
that
simply.
We
oversee
the
design,
maintenance
and
construction
of
traffic
control
devices
within
the
city
of
pittsburgh
limits
and
so
chiefly
you're.
Looking
at
signing
and
pavement
markings
physical
signs
readily
assigned
traffic
signs,
as
well
as
traffic
signals,
and
to
split
up
our
group.
E
It's
probably
easiest
to
cause
on
one
side:
you
have
an
operations
group
and
on
the
other
side
you
have
a
design
group
so
beginning
with
our
operations
group,
you
have
the
laborers,
the
four
men,
the
signing
and
payment
marketing
specialists,
the
electricians
to
physically
go
out
into
the
field
and
perform
maintenance
work
on
our
city
of
pittsburgh,
owned
infrastructure.
E
As
a
municipality,
we
are
responsible
for
maintaining
our
signing
and
payment
markings
and
our
traffic
signals
in
good
condition,
and
so
we
have
to
have
staff
available
who
are
qualified
and
adept
at
maintaining
our
infrastructure.
They
are
based
in
the
strip
district
at
2625
liberty,
avenue,
where
we
have
a
warehouse
at
splitting
two.
You
have
signs
on
one
side.
You
have
traffic
signal
electricians
on
the
other
and
they're
an
impressive
group
of
people
who
maintain
a
significant
amount
of
infrastructure
to
give
you
a
general
idea
of
how
much
infrastructure
we're
talking
about.
E
Let's
break
this
down
a
little
closer,
or
we
also
have.
This
is
the
image
of
traffic
signals.
The
city
currently
owns
611
traffic
signals,
which
I
would
say
for
a
city
with
a
population
base
of
300,
000
people
or
so
is
a
large
number
philadelphia
for
reference,
has
3
000
signals.
New
york
is
about
10
000.,
so
we're
we're
much
lower
compared
to
them
in
terms
of
our
infrastructure
responsibilities,
but
still
a
pretty
significant
number
for
what
I
would
consider
to
be
a
small
to
mid-sized
city.
E
5000
crosswalks
that
we
and
depending
on
what
material
they're
made
out
of
we
either
repaint
them
every
year,
every
three
years
or
if
it's
you
know
road,
that's
gonna
be
worked
on
via
city
at
pittsburgh,
paving
program
we've
been
painted
after
the
paving
season,
and
then
I'm
actually,
the
number
one
double
check
back
is
forty
000
signs
seem
small
to
me,
based
on
our
the
scope
of
our
work.
Yeah
so
like
these
men
and
women
in
our
traffic
shop
are
required
to
maintain
documentation
of
what
kind
of
sign
is
supposed
to
be
in
the
field.
E
E
They
go
out
and
complete
that
work
every
day
is
different
for
at
least
the
people
in
our
traffic
control
shop.
They
have
to
respond
to
emergencies
on
a
regular
basis
and,
as
you
can
see
here,
these
are
two
relatively
recent
ones.
We
have
now
the
school,
the
port
authority
bus
fell
into
the
sinkhole
and
they
mobilized
the
crane
and,
as
it
turns
out,
we
were.
E
We
were
mobilized
to
try
and
take
down
the
traffic
signal
mast
arm
that
we
tried
to
take
down
to
accommodate
lifting
the
bus
out
of
the
hole
and
we
couldn't
get
the
arm
down,
so
they
actually
had
to
lift
the
bus
over
our
traffic
signal
masked
arm.
We
responded,
we
were
there.
E
The
picture
on
your
right
is
from
a
traffic
signal
maintenance
standpoint,
the
most
debilitating
hard
to
repair
emergency,
which
is
a
traffic
signal,
controller
cabinet,
someone
at
the
the
mouth
of
the
armstrong,
tunnels
wiped
out
our
controller,
and
so
what
this
looks
like
is
probably
a
minimum
of
a
two
day:
repair
with
two
crews,
one
one
crew
working
on
building
out
the
cabinet
and
testing
in
our
shop,
and
then
the
second
crew
is
out
here
physically
performing
the
work
you
know
during
this
time
we
don't
have
signal
functionality
or
operations,
and
so
we
will
post
stop
signs
and
then
that
signal
is
going
to
be
stop
controlled
for
ideally
as
short
amount
of
time
as
possible.
E
A
E
Something
we're
trying
to
keep
up
with
we're
trying
to
replace
our
signal
infrastructure.
We
don't
have
the
ability
or
the
funding
to
replace
it
as
fast
as
we'd
like.
So
we
have
scenarios
like
the
picture
on
the
left,
where
we
are
using
an
old,
embedded,
trolley
pole
as
part
of
our
signal
and
then
the
pole.
The
base
began
rotting
and
slowly.
I
don't
know
how
long
this
happened
that
basically
the
span
wire
connecting
the
two
poles
start
drooping,
because
the
pole
is
being
pulled
out.
E
The
sidewalk,
so
in
this
another
case,
for
this
signal
was
down
for
probably
about
two
to
three
days
to
your
right.
We
had
a
very
devastating
knockdown
in
terms
of
a
vehicle
losing
control
coming
on
the
off
ramp
from
the
parkway
onto
liberty,
avenue
at
commonwealth
place
downtown
and
they
wiped
out
two
street
lights
and
two
traffic
signal
poles.
E
This
is
a
much
more
difficult
repair
for
us
because
it,
the
foundations,
were
unable
to
be
reused.
So
we
had
to
mobilize
a
contractor.
We
don't
do
foundation
work.
We
only
do
work
above
the
ground,
so
we
had
to
mobilize
the
contractor.
Come
out
pour
new
foundations,
set
new
polls
and
then
rewire
the
traffic
signal,
and
so
that's,
I
guess,
that's
a
hard
part
of
our
job
and
an
exciting
part.
You
never
know
what
you're
going
to
deal
with
your
day
can
be
completely
thrown
thrown
off
schedule
based
on
the
the
occurrence
of
these
emergencies.
E
A
major
the
way
we
receive
one
of
the
primary
waivers,
the
feedback
and
the
need
to
go
out
and
complete.
This
maintenance
work
is
through
the
city's
q
alert
three
on
one
system.
We
receive
approximately
100
requests
per
week,
50,
which
are
purely
operational.
The
sign
was
knocked
down.
Please
set
it
up.
This
sign
is
missing.
Someone
stole
a
stop
sign
like
those
are
just
basically
go
out,
replace.
E
Forth
operating
alongside
our
operations
group,
we
have
the
design
group,
which
is
engineers
and
technicians
who
handle
more
of
the
design
side
of
our
projects.
We
do
have
the
ability
to
oversee
construction,
and
so
we
it's
a
diverse
task
list
that
we
end
up
working
on
capital
projects.
We
can
once
we
receive
notice
that
we
have
funding,
we
can
from
start
to
finish,
we
can
handle
design
and
then
construction
management
projects
a
lot
of
cases.
We
will
look
to
outside
consultants
for
five
design,
something
that
I
didn't
really
appreciate.
E
E
You
know
they
are
able
to
come
in
and
complete
this
work
via
penndot
port
authority,
private
developers
will
complete
work
within
the
city
of
limits,
but
ultimately
any
of
these
decisions
that
are
made
with
regards
to
traffic
control.
They
have
to
basically
make
it
through
our
department
before
they
can
be
approved
and
then
permitted
to
go
to
construction
in
the
city
right
away,
and
so
our
group
will
also
perform
that
design
review,
trying
to
look
out
for
the
best
interests
of
the
city,
and
there
are
currently
three
projects
really.
E
I
should
have
made
separate
slides
for
some
of
these,
but
we've
gone
heavily
involved
with
penndot's
carson
street
project,
which
is
a
traffic
signal
and
also
a
safety
project
on
east
carson
street
from
smithville
street
bridge
to
33rd,
I
believe,
and
then
the
past.
Probably
two
to
three
months.
We
have
been
heavily
involved
with
the
brt
final
design
review,
and
so
even
though
that's
a
port
authority
project,
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
fulfilling
our
role
as
owners
of
the
infrastructure,
everything
that
goes
in
that
project
we
are
going
to
be
handed
over.
A
E
E
A
E
E
Angie
earlier
mentioned,
move
forward,
and
one
of
the
projects
that
resulted
from
move
forward
was
the
marshall
avenue
project
to
install
both
a
bicycle,
climbing
lane
on
marshall
avenue,
as
well
as
in
some
traffic
calming
aspects
such
as
painted,
curb
bump
outs,
where
we
try
and
gore
out
and
paint
the
areas
near
crosswalks
to
prohibit
vehicles
from
parking
there
to
improve
site
lines
for
pedestrians,
and
so
that
way
a
car
isn't
blocking,
which
should
be
ideally
an
unobstructed
sight
line
from
the
eyes
of
a
motorist
to
an
eye
to
the
eyes
of
the
pedestrian
crossing
the
road.
E
This
is
purely
a
payment
marking
job,
and
so
you
know,
you're
hopeful
that
is
going
to
have
a
decent
amount
of
traffic
calming
impacts
we
took
before
and
after
data
to
try
and
compare
and
see
how
much
an
improvement
we
made
going
like
two
percent
of
the
current
motor
vehicle
population
dropped
in
terms
of
who
is
speaking
on
this
road.
E
That
doesn't
sound
like
a
huge
number
and
it's
not
it'd
be
nicer
to
have
a
greater
impact,
but
considering
that's
just
purely
a
paint
job.
It
did
have
as
nice
to
see
david
martinez
having
that
type
of
role,
and
especially
since
this
first
and
foremost,
was
a
bike
lane
project
and
so
being
able
to
implement
traffic
calming
techniques
along
with
that
project
kind
of
made
it
a
two-for-one
which
was
nice
for
us.
E
The
in
terms
of
more
robust
traffic
calming
we
do
have
to
use
speed,
humps,
and
so
in
the
past,
probably
two
years
we've
been
pursuing
them
as
an
intervention
on
city
streets
that
have
certain
criteria
that
make
them
strong
candidates
for
speed
humps.
This
is
mission
street
in
the
south
side
flats
slopes
excuse
me
and
you.
F
E
The
drop
in
this
was
pretty
incredible
in
terms
of
a
77
reduction
of
vehicle,
speeding
along
the
runway
and
then
having
the
85th
percentile
speed
drop
from
30
to
21
miles
an
hour.
This
is
substantial
changes
that
we
actually,
we
finally
collected
our
post
construction
data
in
the
past
couple
weeks.
Very
excited
to
see
this.
This
is
outstanding
news
for
our
bureau.
E
On
another
side
of
things,
we
are
constantly
trying
to
upgrade
our
traffic
signal
inventory,
611
traffic
signals,
if
I
had
to
estimate
probably
about
200
of
them,
are
at
least
60
years
old,
and
so
it's
like
it's
hard
to
overcome
that
number
through
either
outside
projects
by
penndot,
primarily
penndot,
actually
they're.
They
redo
a
lot
of
work
in
the
city
as
well
as
a
capital
budget.
We
are
trying
to
replace
if
we
can
at
least
four
signals
a
year
five
signals
a
year.
E
E
We
have
four
more
coming
soon,
which
are
either
under
construction
now
or
on
the
verge
of
being
under
construction,
and
the
goal
will
be
to
complete
them
during
2021
traffic
signal
replacements
as
they
stand
today
will
meet
our
current
standards
as
they'll
be
new
new
calls
painted
in
that
gloss,
black
new
signal,
heads
which
are
going
to
be
larger
and
led
bulbs,
and
they
also
have
the
back
plates
and
the
reflective
tape
with
the
idea
of
being
to
provide
contrast
between
the
traffic
signal
led
indications,
as
well
as
the
environment
around
them.
E
New
traffic
signals
in
the
city
will
include
countdown
pedestrian
timers.
So
that
way,
when
it
changes
from
the
the
walking
person
indication
that
you
are,
you
know
able
to
enter
the
crosswalk
to
the
flashing.
Don't
walk
the
signal
phase
again
change
soon,
and
it
counts
down
the
amount
of
time
until
the
signal
phase
changes
as
well
as
audible,
pedestrian
push
buttons
that
provide
all
the
cues
for
visually
impaired
users.
E
E
A
E
F
All
right,
thanks
mike
I,
my
internet's,
been
being
a
little
a
little
sketchy
on
me.
So
I
hope
that
come
through
and
you're
all
able
to
hear
me.
Okay,
as
mike
said,
my
name,
is
eric
setzler.
My
role
in
domi
is
the
chief
engineer.
I
oversee
the
project,
design
delivery
bureau.
So
that's
one
of
the
three
bureaus
you've
heard
from
angie
and
mike,
and
you
know
leading
the
other
two
bureaus.
F
So
we
are
tasked
with
delivering
a
lot
of
the
big
capital
projects.
Now
mike
just
got
done
talking
to
you
about
some
of
our
capital
projects
that
the
traffic
actually
takes
the
lead
on
it.
Traffic
takes
the
lead
if
it's
primarily
a
project
that
has
to
do
with
traffic
control
devices
such
as
the
signals
and
and
pavement
markings
and
things.
A
lot
of
other
of
the
bigger
infrastructure
projects
are
are
coming
from
my
bureau.
F
We
have
four
divisions
just
as
we're
kind
of
set
up
the
streets,
division,
the
structures,
division,
construction
and
paving
divisions
and
I'll
talk
a
little
more
about
them.
As
as
we
move
through
the
slides
here,
go.
F
All
right
so
so
streets,
so
you
know,
as
you
know,
domi
is
basically
responsible
for
the
right-of-way
and
the
major
component
in
most
of
our
right-of-way,
of
course,
is
the
street.
So
that
is
that's
one
of
our
big
functions.
Routine
maintenance
is
handled
by
the
department
of
public
works,
which
is
like
street
sweeping
emptying
trash
cans,
plowing
snow,
some
of
the
more
day-to-day
operations,
but
bigger
picture
items.
F
Ongoing
repair
upgrades
things
like
that
fault
to
dummy.
F
You
know,
in
addition
to
just
streets,
there's
a
there's,
there's
the
sidewalks,
which
include
ada,
curb
ada
ramps
to
give
you
access
down
to
the
street
and
back
up,
of
course,
curbs
crosswalks,
all
that
to
make
a
complete
walking
path,
a
walk
environment
and
also
some
some
trails
very
used
trails
that
might
for
bicycles
or
pedestrians.
So
you
know
streets,
we
have
well
there's,
probably
four
main
kinds
of
streets.
We
have
streets
that
are
asphalt,
streets
that
are
concrete,
blockstone,
also
called
belgian
block
and
brick.
F
Obviously,
brick
and
blackstone
are
two
of
the
more
historic
materials,
and
you
know
a
lot
of
streets
that
are
at
fault,
actually
have
the
the
brick
or
the
black
stone
underneath,
which
you
might
see,
sometimes
if
the
asphalt's
worn
away
or
if
the
street's
been
open
for
come
some
some
kind
of
utility
work
or
something
like
that,
you
might
see
the
old
black
stone
down
there.
We
do.
You
know
an
asphalt,
paving
program
every
year
which
I'll
talk
about
later.
F
This
picture
here
is
an
example
of
doing
some
repairs
to
a
concrete
street.
This
is,
if
I'm
correct,
this
is
broadway
avenue
down
in
beach
view.
We
have
a
project
going
on.
F
This
was
one
component
of
the
project
was
to
replace
concrete
slabs
in
certain
areas
that
were
deteriorated
and
had
a
lot
of
of
cracks
and
and
potholes,
and
you
know
old
patches
and
things
like
that,
so
we've
been
working
on
a
project
that
it
didn't
have
the
funding
to
fully
replace
everything,
but
we
were
able
to
get
out
and
identify
some
of
the
worst
areas
and
get
those
replaced.
F
This
is
still
broadway
here,
so
you
know,
I
showed
you
the
concrete
slab
repairs
on
the
previous
page
that
was
kind
of
phase
one
of
this
project.
F
For
those
who
are
familiar
with
this
corridor,
you
see
the
the
the
t,
the
trolley
tracks,
going
down
the
middle
of
the
road,
which
is
also
where
the
vehicles
travel.
However,
historically,
you
can
see
the
bus
stop.
Is
there
the
blue
bus,
stop
sign
and
the
area
behind
that
was
open,
and
so
when,
when
a
trolley
was
stopped
at
the
station
or
to
stop
there,
cars
could
go
around
it
and
you
know
on
the
right.
F
We
called
it
a
slip
lane,
that's
great
for
if
you're
in
a
car,
that's
great
for
getting
to
your
destination
a
couple
seconds
faster,
so
you
don't
have
to
wait
for
the
trolley
when
it's
stopped,
but
it's
not
great.
If
you
are
a
transit
rider
and
you're
trying
to
get
onto
or
off
of
of
the
t,
and
then
you
might
have
these
cars
buzzing
around
behind
you.
F
So,
if
you're
from
this
area
or
if
you
travel,
you
know,
through
this
area-
you'll
know
that
that
last
year
or
earlier
we
went
through
and
we
closed
these
slip
lanes
and
first
we
did
it
just
using
flexible
bollards
that
are
bolted
down
to
the
pavement
kind
of
on
a
trial
basis
to
to
kind
of
give
a
proof
of
concept
that
this
could
work
and
it
will
improve
safety.
F
After
that,
we
went
through
in
collaboration
with
the
department
of
city
planning,
and
this
fall
domi
installed
permanent
bollards,
these
permanent
bollards
are,
are
steel.
Pipes
embedded
in
the
ground
filled
with
concrete,
so
those
are
much
more
durable.
So
this
was
done.
We
did
make
some
adjustments
based
on
you
know,
putting
up
the
temporary
bollards
and
and
watching
traffic
move
and
interact.
F
We
did
adjust
a
couple
things
to
try
to
optimize
it
as
best
we
could
and
then
after
we
installed
those
department
of
city
planning,
did
a
public
art
project
where
they
invited
several
artists
to
come
and
actually
install
art
directly
on
the
street
and
and
on
the
ballards.
So
this
is
a
view
of
that.
I
believe
that
wrapped
up
in
september-
and
I
think
that
was
a
really
successful,
successful
project
and
and
really
provided
a
great
visual
improvement
to
this
corridor.
F
We
are
currently
in
design
for
the
last
phase
of
this
project,
which
is
realigned
in
the
intersection
of
broadway
and
beach
view
avenues
and
we're
going
to
bring
each
view
in
more
at
a
t
and
create
some
plaza
space
where
that
intersection
currently
is
at.
So
that
is
we're
just
getting
going
on
design
and
we'll
be
working
towards
construction
for
the
last
phase
of
that
project.
So
we
have.
F
We
have
a
lot
of
different
street
work
going
on,
but
that
was
one
one
project
that
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
we've
been
working
on
the
last
couple
years
here
and
it
does
illustrate
a
variety
of
different
things
that
we
get
involved
in.
F
So
you
know,
in
addition
to
to
doing
projects
delivering
projects,
if
you
will,
you
know
our
streets.
Division
is
also
responsible
for
maintaining
construction
standards
and
procedures.
This
is
a
drawing
this
example.
Drawing
is
just
showing
a
standard
drawing
for
concrete
sidewalk.
F
F
So,
if
you
kind
of
cut
the
sidewalk
apart,
you
can
see
that
there,
the
blue
hatched
area
is
gravel,
which
has
to
be
below
the
concrete,
and
then
it
shows
how
thick
the
concrete
is,
and
it
shows
the
standard
for
what
the
where
the
the
reinforcing
steel
mesh
is
placed
in
the
concrete
to
ensure
you
know
the
durability
of
that
concrete.
So,
as
I
said,
our
bureau
and
specifically
the
streets
division
is
responsible
for
maintaining
these
standards
and
they
they
serve
a
purpose,
for
they
have
multiple
purposes.
F
I
mean
we
use
these
standards
for
our
own
project.
So
if
we
are
doing
a
project
and
we
need
to
replace
the
street
or
we
need
to
fix
the
sidewalk,
these
are
the
standards
that
we
provide
to
our
contractors
and
say
this
is
how
you
do
it.
If,
if
penndot
is
going
through
on
a
doing
a
project
within
the
city,
we
also
request
that
they
use
our
standards.
If
it's
a
street,
that's
ultimately
the
city's,
the
city
owns
the
street
or
the
or
the
curb
or
the
sidewalk.
F
F
You
know
water,
sewer,
gas,
electric,
sometimes
communication,
all
kinds
of
things
are
buried
in
the
street,
so
inevitably
you
need
to
open
our
street
cut
open
the
street
in
order
to
access
their
utilities,
and
they
have
to
follow
these
standards
with
every
street
to
make
sure
that
we're
you
know
getting
a
good,
durable
street
when
their
project
is
over
and
that
we
don't
end
up
being
left
with
an
ongoing.
You
know
maintenance
issue
that
that
is
going
to
crumble
in
a
couple
years
and
the
utilities
long
gone
and
then
we're
stuck
with.
F
So
that's
why
you
know
one
of
many
reasons
that
we
have
standards
like
this.
You
know
angie
spoke
to
you
earlier
and,
and
you
know
her
division,
the
permitting
division
would
be
giving
permits
to
those
companies
that
are
working
in
the
right
of
way
and
then
they
would
be
enforcing
the
permit.
Inspectors
would
be
enforcing
inspecting
that
work
and
making
sure
that
these
standards
are
followed.
The
other
big
you
know
time
would
be
developers
if
you
are
building
a
new.
F
You
know
an
apartment
building
or
a
a
commercial
building
or
whatever
and
you're
affecting
the
street
as
part
of
your
project,
then,
of
course
we
would
be
asking
you
to
restore
it
to
these
standards
as
well
on
the
next
slide.
Here
I
have
one
of
our
our
other
standards.
This
is
the
right-of-way
procedures
manual.
F
We
are
issuing
a
new
version.
It
should
be
coming
out
this
month.
The
date
highlighted
there
is
tentative.
Our
our
streets
project
manager
mike
has
been
diligently
getting
this
put
together,
he's
not
going
to
wake
up
on
christmas
and
publish
it,
but
I
think
he
put
that
in
there
as
a
placeholder
thinking
a
little
bit
of
the
christmas
present
to
ourselves.
A
F
We
are
able
to
get
out
some
new
update
the
procedures
manual
so
that
we,
you
know,
can
ensure
that
that
all
those
people
working
within
the
right
of
way
can
are
going
to
be,
are
going
to
be
doing
the
right
thing
and
making
sure
that
the
city
gets
a
good,
that
our
facilities
are
well
maintained
and
and
are
going
to
be
in
good
condition
and-
and
this
is
available
on
dummy's
website.
F
So,
if
you
are,
for
whatever
reason
need
to
do
something
in
the
right
of
way,
you
can
go
and
look
it
up
another
part
of
of
the
streets
division.
This
you
know
is
development
review
this
kind
of
cuts
across
multiple
groups.
You
know
city
planning
and
pli
permits,
licenses
and
inspections.
F
Those
departments
are
involved
in
in
development
projects
and
domains
involved,
to
the
extent
that
a
project
affects
the
right-of-way
which
could
be
the
street,
the
curb
or
the
sidewalk,
so
our
streets
engineers
are
tasked
with
reviewing
fans
to
ensure
once
again
that
standards
are
being
followed
that
you
know
if
you
want
to
have
a
driveway
to
get
into
a
garage
or
parking
lot
that
you're
following
appropriate
standards.
F
You
know
it
can't
come
out
right
at
an
intersection,
because
it's
unsafe,
you
have
to
have
a
certain
distance
back,
so
you
know
there's
all
kinds
of
things
that
we
would
look
at.
You
know
tree
pits
we
like
trees,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
pits
free
pits
are
installed
correctly,
so
that
they're
safe
for
pedestrians
and
that
they're
going
to
have
successful
trees.
F
F
Touching
on
another
one
of
our
big
projects,
this
is
smithfield
street
reconstruction.
So
this
is
a
project
that
is
just
getting
started.
It's
just
kicking
off
design,
but
it
is
a
total
reconstruction
project.
This
is
a
project
that
has
federal
funding
which
comes
to
us
through
penndot,
so
they're
picking
up
80
of
the
tab,
and
we
have
to
contribute
20.
F
This
project
is
on
smithfield
between
forbes
and
sixth,
so
it's
a
three
production
which
is
going
to
be
completely
redone
the
whole
the
street,
including
the
the
base
and
the
sub
base
right
on
down
to
the
ground.
All
new
curves
on
these
sidewalks
really
giving
the
whole
thing
a
a
fresh
look,
and
just
really
upgrading
all
the
infrastructure,
everything
you
see
and
everything
that
you
might
not
see
as
well.
F
You
know
this.
This
street
has
a
lot
of
components
that
that
you
know
it's
not
a
huge
street,
the
street's
not
terribly
wide,
but
there's
a
lot
to
fit
in
there.
So
it'll,
be
an
interesting
challenge
to
you
know:
make
sure
that
we
are
apportioning
this
limited
right-of-way
to
the
best
uses
and
to
to
accommodate
all
the
different
uses.
F
As
best
we
can,
this
particular
picture
is
just
showing
a
bus
only
lane
which
heads
south
towards
the
river-
it's
actually
a
bus
and
bike
lane,
so
bikes
are
allowed
to
use
it
in
addition
to
buses,
but
not
not
regular
vehicles.
Next
slide.
F
In
one
block
in
the
corridor
there
is
a
valet
parking
lane
for
the
embassy
suites.
So
this
you
know
is
is
something
that
just
based
on
the
layout
of
the
street,
we
needed
to
make
this
accommodation
for
the
hotel,
so
they
could
get
people
in
and
out,
but
it's
one
more
thing
that
we
need
to
try
to
accommodate
within
within
our
street.
So
you
know
that
can
be
a
challenge
to
make
all
that
work.
F
And
then
you
know
here
is
something
that
is
not
necessarily
visible
to
the
average
person
walking
down
the
street,
but
is
constantly
a
challenge
for
us.
Many
of
our
older
buildings
have
were
built
with
the
basement,
extending
out
all
the
way
to
the
curb
line
so
underneath
the
sidewalk
is
actually
the
basement
of
the
adjacent
building.
Those
basements
are
in
the
right-of-way,
so
they're
an
encroachment
which
you
know
was
acceptable
when
it
was
constructed
and
that
can
still
be
done
with
the
proper
permit
if
necessary.
F
But
you
know,
as
we
want
to
replace
the
sidewalk,
the
sidewalk
is
actually
the
roof
of
a
vault,
so
it's
a
pretty
complicated
process.
Some
of
these
are
in
active
use
and
they're
kept
up,
so
we
would
just
replace
the
roof,
replace
the
sidewalk
and
move
on.
There
are
other
buildings
where
the
vault
is
not
in
active
use
and
it
may
be
very
deteriorated,
so
it
may
have
to
be
better
to
basically
fill
the
vault
in.
You
know
basically
build
a
new
basement
wall.
F
You
know
underneath
the
front
wall
of
the
building
and
then
backfill
that
so
it
becomes
a
regular
sidewalk
on
the
ground,
but
every
building's
different-
and
you
know
the
only
way
to
figure
it
out-
is
to
get
in
there
and
talk
to
the
to
the
property
owners
and
get
down
and
see
the
basement
and
see
what
it
looks
like
and
you
know
make
decisions
on
a
case-by-case
basis
from
there.
So
you
know
those
are
some
of
the
challenges
that
go
into
some
of
these
larger
projects.
F
There
really
is
a
lot
to
think
about
moving
over
to
our
structures
division,
so
the
structures
division
is
well
they're
responsible
for
structures.
I
guess,
as
it
might
sound
obvious,
but
what
is
a
structure?
So
bridges
are
the
big
one
we
have.
I
think
we
said
earlier
about
150
bridges
in
the
city
that
the
city
is
responsible,
for
there
are
also
bridges
that
either
penndot
or
allegheny
county
are
responsible
for,
but
we
have
about
150
of
our
own.
We
have
a
lot
of
retaining
walls.
F
We
have
a
lot
of
city
steps.
You
know
that
is
it's
not
totally
unique
to
pittsburgh,
but
it
is.
You
know
we
have
a
very
large
collection
of
steps
which
I
think
we're
all
pretty
proud
of,
but
they
also
suffer
from
a
lot
of
deferred
maintenance.
F
A
a
landslide
is
not
really
a
structure,
but
it
does
fall
under
the
structures.
Division.
We've
had
a
lot
of
landslides
a
couple
last
couple
years,
due
to
steep
slopes
due
to
underlying
soil
conditions
and
due
to
some
of
the
heavy
rains
that
we've
got,
we've
got
a
lot
of
rain
the
last
couple
years.
Sometimes
the
result
of
a
landslide
is
that
we
need
to
build
a
wall
in
order
to
fix
it.
This
picture
here
is
an
example.
F
This
is
newton
street
from
the
south
side
kind
of
on
the
edge
between
south
side,
and
I
guess
arlington,
it's
right
off
the
arlington
avenue.
There
was
a
pretty
big
slide
in,
I
believe
it's
2018
and
we
ended
up
constructing
this
wall.
This
wall
is
constructed
with
steel
I-beams
that
are
drilled
and
placed
in
the
ground
and
embedded
in
concrete,
and
then
those
are
precast
concrete
panels
which
which
are
placed
between
the
steel
beams
to
create
a
wall.
There.
F
Here's
a
example
project
and
a
bit
of
a
case
study
the
charles
anderson
bridge
is
you
know
you
may
not
know
it
by
that
name,
but
it
is
the
bridge
that
carries
the
boulevard
of
the
allies
from
oakland
over
junction
hollow
going
into
shenley
park.
This
is
kind
of
a
striking
view,
looking
north
towards
towards
oakland.
I
was
constructed
in
1938
last
rehabbed
in
1987,
which
is
you
know
over
30
years
ago.
F
At
this
point,
total
bridge
length
is
you
know
about
760
feet
long
and
it's
a
it's
a
truss
bridge,
it's
actually
a
wiker
truss,
which
is
a
relatively
rare
form
of
trust.
So
it
does
have
some
some
historical
characteristics
to
it.
F
Go
to
the
next
slide,
so
you
know
it
does
have
some
deterioration.
This
is
some
a
condition,
a
picture
underneath
the
bridge
which
came
out
of
a
bridge
inspection
showing
some
of
the
deteriorated
paints
and
some
of
the
the
surface
rusting
that
has
occurred.
We
are
responsible
to
inspect
our
bridges.
That's
mandated
by
the
federal
government.
Routine
inspection
has
to
happen
a
minimum
of
once
every
24
months
or
every
two
years
for
some
bridges
that
that
have
some
more
critical
members.
F
They
might
be
required
to
be
inspected
more
frequently.
The
charles
anderson
bridge
is
inspected
every
year
at
this
point,
because
it's
a
trust
and
because
it
does
have
some
deterioration,
it
has
a
weight
limit
on
it,
which
is
less
than
than
the
full,
the
full
legal
loads
because
of
some
of
the
deterioration.
So
it's
on
a
12
month,
inspection
cycle,
so
every
year
we're
looking
at
it
occasionally
there
could
be
a
special
condition
where
we
would
actually
look
at
a
bridge
more
than
that,
even
so.
Every
six
months,
perhaps.
F
So
we
are
currently
working
on
a
project,
a
major
project
which
is
one
that's
getting
state
and
federal
funding
to
repair.
I
mean
rehab
or
replace
this
bridge,
we're
still
in
the
study
phase.
On
that
it's
early
on,
however,
before
we
before
we
get
there
this
last
summer,
we
had
to
do
some.
Some
repair
work,
some
heavy
maintenance.
Essentially
there
was
some
cracking
in
the
deck
that
had
been
noted
and
the
bridge
inspectors
determined
that
it
was
a
high
priority
repair.
F
F
As
I
mentioned,
though,
we
are
looking
at
a
major
project
which
the
design
effort
is
underway,
so
we
are
studying
to
determine
if
it
will
be
a
major
rehabilitation
of
the
bridge
which
would
involve
replacing
the
concrete
deck
and
you
know
doing
extensive
repairs
on
the
steel,
truss
fixing
anything
that
is
deteriorated,
replacing
you
know,
rusted
components
with
new
components
and
then
completely
repainting,
the
entire
bridge,
or
there
is
also
a
possibility
that
it
would
go
to
a
replacement
structure
where
we
would
build
an
entirely
new
bridge.
F
F
If
we
can
rehab
it,
then
we
will.
We
will
rehab
it
and,
as
I
said,
we
are
in
that
process
of
determining
it
right
now.
You
know
part
of
that
in
determining,
if
it
can
be,
rehabbed
is
determining
what
we
need
the
bridge
to
carry.
Currently,
it
is
42
feet
wide
for
the
travel
way
and
that
carries
four
lanes
of
traffic,
which
is
you
know
a
little
on
the
narrow
side
for
four
lanes.
F
F
So
that's
you
know
a
bit
narrow
both
for
pedestrians
and
for
vehicles,
and
it
doesn't
doesn't
have
any
good
place
for
bikes,
so
we
are
looking
at
various
options.
You
know
some
of
these
were
just
some
some
some
nice
sketches
that
were
proposed.
These
don't
necessarily
correspond
to
anything
that
we
we
are
going
to
do.
We
haven't
come
to
those
determinations
yet,
but
you
know
it
shows
that
there
are
various
options
that
you
have
to
look
at
with
vehicle
lanes
with
shoulders
with
sidewall
walks.
F
Bikes
facilities
is
important
to
us,
so
we're
working
on
determining
the
best
path
board
for
that
the
design
effort
will
probably
take
another,
probably
at
least
in
our
two
years
there,
and
then
we
will
be
able
to
kick
off
construction.
After
that
I
wanted
to
drop
in
another
project
here.
This
is
the
west
ohio
street
bridge,
which
is
under
construction
right
now.
F
I
don't
have
the
best
pictures,
unfortunately,
but
for
anyone
who
is
familiar
with
allegheny
commons
on
the
north
side,
this
perry's
ridge
avenue
coming
from
from
allegheny
circle
and
heading
heading
to
the
west.
It's
a
through
truss
bridge.
So
you
can
see
the
truss
above
the
deck.
F
The
sidewalks
were
closed,
a
while
back
and
then
half
the
bridge
was
closed
and
then,
more
recently
the
encourage
was
close
to
vehicles.
Where
you
know,
pedestrians
and
bikes
could
still
use
it.
The
design
effort
on
this
project
had
been
going
on
in
various
phases
for
almost
20
years.
There
were
a
lot
of
complications
if
you've
been
in
the
city
for
a
long
time
you
may
you
may
have
been
somewhat
aware
of
it.
F
There
was
a
lot
of
discussion
back
and
forth
with
the
railroad
ultimately
we're
having
to
raise
the
bridge
some
to
provide
some
additional
clearance
for
trains
underneath,
but
anyway,
the
project
is
happening.
So
it's
it's
very
nice,
you
know
after
a
bridge
has
been
is
so
deteriorated.
It
has
to
be
closed.
It's
really
exciting
to
to
see
all
that
work
of
20
years
come
to
fruition,
and
the
picture
kind
of
on
the
left
here
is
showing
new
steel
beams
being
placed.
F
This
was
just
just
this
fall
when
that
picture
was
taken.
That
project
is
going
to
continue
through
through
next
year
and
the
new
bridge
will
be
opening
by
the
end
of
of
2021..
F
I
also
want
to
talk
about
paving
the
paving
division
funny
I
this
is
a
I
like
this
picture,
because
it's
a
it's
a
great
street.
It's
a
it's
a
blackstone
street,
although
I'm
talking
about
paving-
and
I
have
a
street
that
don't
have
asthma
about
it.
But
what
are
you
gonna
do
so?
The
city
owns.
You
know
almost
1200
lane
miles
of
streets
so
atlanta.
F
If
the
street
is,
is
two
lanes
wide,
then
each
each
lane
will
be
counted
as
we're,
making
those
as
we're
counting
all
that
up
a
little
over
a
thousand
miles.
So
the
vast
majority
are
asphalt
streets.
The
surface
is
asphalt.
13.6
million
square
yards
is
the
total
area
of
asphalt.
F
We
also
have
about
76
land
miles
of
concrete
streets
and
then
36
of
brick
and
16
in
blockstone.
So,
of
course,
that
picture
there
is
blackstone
in
the
past
a
lot
of
times.
If
a
brick
or
blackstone
street
was
deteriorated,
we
would
just
pave
over
it
with
asphalt
and
basically
convert
it
into
an
asphalt
street.
These
last
couple
years,
we
are
taking
a
different
approach
to
that
and
attempting
to
to
maintain
and
keep
these
brick
and
black
stone
streets
where
they
exist.
F
You
know
they
are
more
historic,
material
and,
and
once
you
pave
over
it,
you're
really.
You
know
it's
very
unlikely
you're
going
to
go
back
to
brick
or
blockstone,
but
many
of
them,
even
if
they
are
deteriorated,
they
just
need
some
spot
repairs
to
get
them
back
into
acceptable
shape.
F
So
we
do
some
repairs
on
concrete
brick
and
blockstone
streets
each
year,
but
the
big
effort
is
on
asphalt,
paving
since
that's
where
most
of
our
our
stock
is
at.
F
So
how
do
we
figure
out
what
to
pay?
Of
course,
that's
a
big
question
of
many
people.
Hey
you're,
going
to
pave
my
street.
We
have
more
paving
needs
than
we
can
do
each
year.
We
do
try
to
prioritize.
We
look
at
a
lot
of
different
things.
One
thing
we
do
from
a
data
standpoint
is
we
look
at.
We
have
an
overall
condition
index
or
oci
assigned
to
every
street.
F
This
is
a
numerical
score
between
0
and
100,
and
it's
based
on
on
inspection,
and
this
print
out
here
is
from
our
gis
system.
Cartograph
and
all
the
streets
are
in
there
and
every
segment
of
the
street
from
one
block
to
the
next
has
a
oci
assigned
to
it.
You
know,
based
on
those
observations.
F
Our
average
is
about
50
and
for
primary
streets,
which
are
the
more
major
streets.
The
average
is
a
little
higher
62,
which
is
probably
good.
You
want
to
keep
your
busier
streets
in
as
good
a
condition
as
you
can.
The
secondary
streets
are
right
around
50
and
the
tertiary
streets,
which
are
your
small
ones,
your
alleys,
greece,
with
very
low
volume,
typically
narrow
streets.
You
know,
unfortunately,
they're
not
quite
as
good
as
shape
their
average
oci
is
36.
F
So
the
street
selection
process,
it
starts
actually
starting
right
now
for
next
year,
so
our
2020
paving
season
is
done,
but
we're
gearing
up
for
2021..
F
We
start
our
paving
division
goes
through
and
they
get
into
cartograph
and
they
pull
the
data
and
they
look
at
condition
and
they
pull
out
the
bad
streets
and
they
start
there.
Of
course,
there's
usually
more
than
you
can
get
to,
but
we
start
there.
We
do
get
a
lot
of
community
input.
F
There's
two
main
ways
that
happens:
one
is
through
painting
requests
that
are
put
into
the
3-1-1
system,
so
we
collect
those
over
the
course
of
a
year
and
then
you
know
currently
our
paving
division
is
assessing
all
the
three-on-ones
that
we
see
over
the
past
year
and
collating
them
and
then
working
that
into
their
evaluation
matrix.
F
We
also
solicit
input
from
each
of
the
city
council
people.
Of
course
they
know
their
district's
best
and
also
usually
have
direct
communication
with
their
residents.
So
they
will
provide
input.
We
also
reach
out
to
the
utility
companies
for
two
reasons:
one
no
one
likes
to
pay
the
street
and
then
have
you
know
a
utility.
Come
by
three
months
later
and
cut
it
up
to
fix
a
line,
we
really
want
to
avoid
that.
F
F
Year
then,
we
say:
okay
well,
we'll
hold
off
we're
not
going
to
pave
this
year.
If
you
have
to
take
the
street
of
next
year,
so
you
can
do
it
next
year
and
then
the
paving
can
be
completed
perhaps
as
part
of
their
project
or
we
can
get
it
after
they're
done
either
way
we're
really
trying
to
improve
our
coordination.
F
These
last
couple
years
to
you
know
prevent
prevent
those
situations
which,
just
you
know,
they're,
not
a
good
use
of
resources
to
pay
the
street
and
then
dig
it
up.
So
we
there
will
always
be
emergencies.
That
will
never
be
perfect,
but
we
are
really
trying
to
improve
our
coordination
efforts
in
that
respect.
F
Here:
here's
just
an
example
spreadsheet
this
is
actually
from
last
year,
I
believe,
which
is
showing
just
some
of
the
data
we
collect
on
streets,
that
we
are
going
to
be
paving.
You
know
from
where
to
where
and
then
we
keep
track
of
when
it's
done.
You
know
how
it's
being
paid
for
costs.
Things
like
that,
the
2020
paving
program
which
we
just
wrapped
up
this
year,
we
were
able
to
pave
approximately
345
streets.
F
F
And
that
wraps
up
my
overview
of
the
planning
policy
and
or
the
the
project
designs,
delivery
division
and,
at
that
point
you've
heard
from
all
of
us
in
delmi.
Thank
you.
I'm
going
to
turn
it
back
over.
B
Thanks
everyone,
let
me
see
if
I
can
find
my
clap
reaction
we
like
to
give
claps
on
zoom
after
every
presentation.
Here
we
go
thanks.
Everyone,
okay!
Well
thanks!
So
much
for
that
great
presentation.
I
think
we
can
launch
into
questions
now.
I
actually
don't
see.
I
don't
think
I
see
any
questions
in
the
chat,
although
bill
did
leave
an
interesting
tidbit
about
cobblestone
streets,
so
can't
confirm
that,
but
that's
very
interesting
all
right,
let's
see
here
larry
you're
up
first.
G
You
spoke
of
somewhere
in
the
vicinity
of
600
signals
in
the
city
and
you
included
a
slide
which
was
liberty
and
south
millvale,
in
which
I
believe
15
individual
lights
were
visible
and
there
are
probably
a
couple
more
I'm
guessing
that
that
intersection
counts
as
one
signal
to
the
city.
Otherwise
the
numbers
don't
make
sense.
Can
you
confirm
that
or.
E
Yep
every
intersection,
I
think,
of
a
signal
as
a
controller
and
so
like
the
stainless
steel
box.
That's
one
intersection,
so
yep
you're,
correct.
G
Thank
you.
Second,
you,
you
spoke
about
brick
and
blockstone
streets,
and
the
ones
that
were
illustrated
are
tiny
little
streets
that
are
probably
somewhat
remote
and
low
traffic
grant
is
different,
and
roughly
two
years
ago,
when
I
first
came
to
town
grant,
was
being
redone,
and
I
have
always
wondered
why
it's
brick
and
why
it
was
being
replaced
with
brick.
Even
though
the
the
newly
redone
sections
began
to
to
move
and
rattle
and
shake
within
months,
it
seems
like
an
extremely
high
maintenance
solution
for
a
very
heavily
traveled
street.
F
Yeah,
so
grant
street
was
not
always
brick,
maybe
maybe
back
in
the
old
and
olden
days
it
was,
but
it
was
asphalt
and
there
actually
was
a
concerted
effort,
a
project
to
to
make
it
a
brick
street.
I
believe
it
was
in
the
I'm
thinking
the
late
80s,
approximately
approximately
the
80s.
I
think
the
the
theory
was
that
that
grand
street
is,
you
know
it's
kind
of
like
the
front
door
of
the
city.
F
It's
where
the
the
city
county
building
is
the
county
courthouse
the
federal
building,
all
those
things.
So
it
was
really.
It
was
a
you
know
like
a
public
design,
beautification
anchoring
the
downtown
kind
of
of
thought
that
went
into
that
to
create
that
as
a
brick
street.
I
think
it
is
an
asset.
Obviously
there
is
some
maintenance,
that's
required
for
that,
and
it
does
get.
It
does
get
beat
up
pretty
good.
F
As
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
buses
a
lot
of
trucks
on
there,
so
it
does
have
a
pretty
good
concrete
base
underneath
it
but
yeah.
Last
year
we
tackled
that
one
section
up
by
the
federal
courthouse
there
are
additional
sections
and-
and
you
know
kind
of
my
hope
is
that
we
can
do
little
little
sections
here
and
there
and
kind
of
over
time.
You
know
replace
it
over
time
piece
by
piece
instead
of
tackling
it
as
one
project,
because
it
would
be
extremely
expensive
that
way.
F
F
I
don't
have
exact
numbers
on
on
brick
on
that
street.
It
is
at
least
30
years
old,
and
you
know
there
are
sections
that
do
require
some
full
replacement.
There
are
other
sections
that
are
still
in
pretty
good
shape.
You
know
we
certainly
we
have
some
some
brick
and
blackstone
streets
that
have
been
around
for
100
plus
years,
and
some
of
them
are
still
in
pretty
decent
shape,
but
those
are,
as
you
say,
you
know,
grant
street's
in
a
little
bit
of
a
different
classification
from
the
other
ones.
F
You
know
for
a
street
that
is
asphalt
on
a
major
route
like
that
we
would
be
probably
looking
at
paving
it
at
least
every
seven
years,
so
it
is
less.
You
know
significantly
less
for
other
materials
as
opposed
to
asphalt,
but
you
know
the
investment
is
bigger.
Also
when
you
do
have
to
do
the
work
there.
F
I
Hi,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
first
for
like
a
really
interesting
presentation.
My
main
question
was
you
know:
pittsburgh
has
like
some
wildly
different
seasons,
weather-wise,
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
the
seasons
like
impact
like
our
roads
and
sidewalks
like
we
have
pretty
cold
winters
and
pretty
hot
wet
summers.
So
I
was
wondering
if
that,
how
that
interacted
with
like
having
to
maintain
the
roads
and
sidewalks.
F
I'd
be
willing
to
jump
in
on
that
one
again,
so
I
mean
you
know.
Yes,
it
affects
us.
I
mean.
The
first
thing
is
that
anyone
in
the
northern
climates
has
construction
season.
You
know,
I
think
the
joke
is
that
we
have
construction
season
and
then
we
have
winter.
But
you
know
I've
been
down
to
florida
and
they
they
do
construction
all
year
long
because
it's
you
know,
never
snowing.
So
that
affects
how
we
plan
and
approach
project
delivery.
F
We
have
to
think
about
getting
things
ready
so
that
in
april
you
can
kick
off
and
start
selling
things.
Can
you
get
it
done
by
october?
Or
does
it
have
to
be
a
two
construction
season
project
so
that
affects
us
on
the
planning
side
and
how
we
approach
projects?
F
You
know
a
lot
of
like
our
street
materials,
your
asphalt,
your
concrete
things
like
that.
I
mean
they.
They
don't
have
any
concerns
with
warm
water
weather.
They
don't
really
care
about
cold
weather
either.
Except
for
salt.
Salt
is
a
an
issue.
It
can
deteriorate
concrete
and
steel.
So
you
know
certainly
the
more
salt
that
you
have
to
apply
to
the
roads
and
the
bridges
that
ultimately
will
have
some
effect
on
on
the
life
of
them.
But
you
know
that's
just
it
kind
of
it
is
what
it
is.
F
You
know
here
we
are
and
it
does
snow,
it's
snowing
right
now,
water.
You
know
I
did
mention
like
the
landslides,
I
mean
rain
and
water.
Water
is
always
a
challenge.
You
know
living
in
the
hills
we
have.
You
know
both
we
have
steep
slopes
and
we
have
you
know
narrow
valleys.
So
we
get
flooding,
we
get
landslides.
You
know
all
that
water
is
always
a
challenge
for
maintaining
our
infrastructure
and
keeping
everything
operational
and
keeping
it
safe.
J
Hi,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
think
this
question
is
is
relevant
to
the
department,
but
you'll
tell
me
if
it
isn't.
You
know
a
lot
of
studies
about
about
motorists
yielding
to
pedestrians
in
marked.
You
know
crosswalks
where
pedestrians
should
be
yielded
to
and
because
they're
not
routine,
you
know
they're
not
all
over.
It
requires
you
know
some
real
attention
and
care
by
motorists,
but
motorists
should
be
doing
that.
J
So
I
wonder
if
there's
any
sort
of
education-
or
you
know
public
campaign
on
the
part
of
the
city
to
impress
upon
you,
know
drivers
how
to
how
to
treat
these
studies
have
also
shown
that
implicit
bias
plays
a
role
in
how
motorists
properly
yield-
and
you
know,
pause
at
these
marked
intersections
too.
F
F
You
know
I
I'd
say
every
day
you
know
back
at
the
beginning,
jeff
had
mentioned
some
of
the
goals
of
our
department,
and
you
know
our
first
goal
was
that
no
one
has
died,
dies
are
seriously
injured
on
our
streets
and
you
know
we
are
trying
to
to
look
at
strategies
through
traffic
calming
through
the
safe
routes
to
school
program
through
upgrades
to
traffic
signals
to
include
better
pedestrian
signals,
and
things
like
that.
F
You
know
we're
constantly
looking
at
ways
to
improve
improve
safety,
and
you
know
one
of
the
major
things
is
you
know
pedestrians
and
bicyclists?
You
know,
obviously
they
don't
have
a
car
protecting
them,
so
they
are
more
vulnerable
vulnerable
just
by
definition,
because
they
they
are
not
in
a
vehicle.
It's
you
know
there
will
always
there
always
be
an
error.
I
guess
there
just
is:
there
are
accidents,
there
are
distracted
drivers,
there
are
distracted
pedestrians,
so
you
know
part
of
it
is.
F
What
can
we
do
from
an
engineering
standpoint
to
to
to
design
the
street
in
such
a
way
to
at
least
at
least
protect
people
some
and
and
reduce
the
chances
of
things
happening?
F
I
mean
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
someone's
looking
at
their
phone
and
they
drive
through
a
red
light,
there's
only
so
you
know
like
we
can't
necessarily
fix
that,
but
if
there's
other
things
that
we
can
do
to
make
pedestrians
more
visible
or
or
other
strategies
at
least
we're
reducing
the
likelihood
of
some
of
those
things
happening
as
much
as
we
can.
E
Yeah,
I
agree
with
that
eric
that's
the
people
on
this
phone
call
are
mostly
talking
about
design
interventions
that
or
design
standards
that
we
utilize.
We
do
have
we'll
lean
on
our
partners
in
terms
of
education
and
outreach
in
a
lot
of
ways.
We
we
have,
I'm
not
sure
the
status
of
this
we
have
a
gosh.
What's
it
called
the
a
program
to
encourage
safe
driving,
oh
angels,.
B
E
Thank
you.
Yes,
I
blanked
out
on
that.
So
we
we
have.
We
do
have
that
that's
in-house
initiative
through
bike
pittsburgh
and
through
healthy
ride.
We
will
also,
if
we
have
new
designs
or
something
that
we
want
to
educate
the
public
about
and
try
and
get
that
out
there.
We
will
look
to
them
to
like
lean
on
them
for
their
graphic
design,
for
their
outreach
and
some
skills
that
they
have
to
help
us
for
that
as
well.
D
I
think
it's
it's
not
it's
to
be
expected
that
I
think
all
three
of
us
representing
the
department
have
something
to
say
about
crosswalks
and
pedestrian
safety,
because
going
back
to
you
know
the
mission
of
the
department
and
the
goals
that
we
have.
Pedestrians
are
one
of
the
most
vulnerable
users
on
you
know
our
public
rights
of
way,
and
so
you
know,
and
eric
or
mike
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong.
I
think
I
have
this
right.
D
D
You
know
pavement
markings
better
lightings
things
like
that
things
like
that
education,
such
as
the
safe
driving
pledge,
I
think
things
like
move
forward
and
just
raising
the
overall
visibility
of
the
importance
of
these
safety
strategies
at
you
know
getting
us
to
a
safer,
more
equitable,
more
connected
city,
as
well
as
on
some
level,
some
enforcement.
D
So
you
know
public
safety
ultimately
enforces.
You
know
the
the
traffic
traffic
code
and,
if
that's
not,
you
know
it,
it's
it's
more
of
a
gray
area
than
I
think
any
of
us
would
like
it
to
be,
and
so
you
know,
I
think,
really
relying
on
the
design
and
the
education
strategies
more
than
the
enforcement
is
the
direction
and
the
sort
of
tools
that
domi
has
to
be
able
to
address
that
type
of
concern.
K
I
guess
I
have
like
a
multiple
part
question:
how
does
climate
change
and
sustainability
factor
into
like
dummy's
mission
and
in
terms
of
paving?
Is
there
any
reason
why
we
are
still
using
just
asphalt?
K
It
seems
like
every
year
we
pave,
we
can't
pave
enough
fast
enough
and
we
are
grinding
the
streets
up
as
fast
as
we're
putting
them
down,
and
we
have
like
piles
of
old
asphalt
in
our
parks
and
along
the
rivers
and
like
sort
of
everywhere,
and
I
guess
it
seems
like
there
has
to
be
a
better
solution
at
some
point
in
the
future.
Is
that
something
that
the
department
is
looking
into.
D
I
I
want
you
to
address
the
second
part
of
that
question,
though
all
right
I
can
take
so
from
a
broad
sense.
How
are
we
addressing
the
issue
of
climate
change?
This
administration
is
obviously
very
on
the
forefront
talking
about
climate
change,
climate
goals,
transportation
and
specifically
vehicle
emissions
are
one
of
the
greatest
producers
of
greenhouse
gases,
and
I
think
it's
one
of
the
sectors
of
greenhouse
gases
that
you
know
as
a
municipality.
D
We
have
some
of
the
most
control
over,
because
we
can
create
better,
more
connected
transportation
networks
that
facilitate
and
encourage
mode
of
transportation
that
don't
produce
those
same
level
of
greenhouse
gases.
So
when
we're
talking
about
you
know,
benefits
of
you
know,
transit
or
you
know,
bicycle
facilities
when
we're
talking
about
you
know
even
things
like
increasing
the
quality
and
the
design
of
bicycle
parking
and
buildings,
so
that
you
know
it's
more
comfortable
for
people
to
be
able
to
place
their
bike
when
they're
commuting
to
work.
D
Those
are
the
types
of
strategies
that
we're
looking
towards
some
of
the
things
that
we've
talked
about
as
a
department
is
better
aligning
what
we
would
call
a
modeshare
goal.
So
that
would
be
looking
at
all
of
the
trips
that
happen
in
a
part
of
the
city
or
in
the
city
as
a
whole
and
saying
what
percentage
of
those
trips
are
happening
by
vehicle?
What
percentage
is
happening
by
transit
or
walking
or
biking?
And
then
what
are
some
of?
D
What
are
some
of
the
solutions
that
we
can
explore
to
try
to
increase
those
multimodal
trips
and
there's
a
variety
of
ways?
We
have
tried
to
factor
that
into
development
review
and
other
projects
that
the
city
is
doing.
D
The
last
project
I
will
mention
is
the
city
street
light
conversion,
which
again
is
the
upgrade
of
our
between
35
to
40,
000
city
street
lights,
to
a
higher
performing
energy,
efficient,
led
bulb,
which
will
you
know,
supply
chain,
address
some
of
the
climate
change
and
sort
of
environmental
considerations
for
lighting
public
right-of-way
and
then
eric.
I
think
the
question
was
about
recycled
materials.
F
Sure
so
street
materials
I
mean
that
is
a
good
question.
There
are
definitely
advantages
to
asphalt.
It
is
quick
to
mill
up
and
put
down
and
compared
to
some
other
things.
It
is
lesser
in
initial
cost.
F
So
so
we
can
get
a
lot
of
paving
done.
There
are
challenges
you
know.
One
of
them
is
that
a
number
of
our
asphalt
streets,
as
I
mentioned
before,
actually
have
brick
or
black
stone
under
them.
Some
of
them
have
you
know,
trolley
tracks
are
still
down
there,
get
don't
get
too
technical
here,
but
I
mean
asphalt
is
considered
a
flexible
payment.
So
it's
not
like
concrete
it
will.
You
know,
bend
and
conform
to
whatever's
underneath
it
as
you
continually
drive
over
it.
F
So
if
the
sub
base
is
all
rutted
up
and-
and
you
know,
cracked
or
whatever
that's
going
to
have
a
negative
impact
on
how
long
the
surface
asphalt
is
going
to
last.
F
Concrete
streets
last
way
longer
you
could
easily
get
get
40
or
50
years
out
of
a
concrete
street
with
only
minimal
maintenance,
but
the
installation
cost
is
way
higher.
You
know
it's,
it's
a
lot
more
expensive
to
put
in
a
concrete
street.
You
know
the
good
thing
is
once
you
have
those,
then
then
you
can.
You
can
leave
them
for
quite
a
while,
although
on
the
flip
side,
you
know
it
wasn't
downside,
we
do
have
some
neighborhoods.
I
know.
Stanton
heights
is
one
you
know,
there's
some
neighborhoods
in
the
south.
F
Hills
too
that
were
built
with
concrete
streets,
and
some
of
those
are
getting
to
be
in
pretty
bad
condition.
So
there's
a
higher
maintenance
cost
when
it
does
get
to
that
point.
If
you
haven't
kept
up
with
with
feeling
the
joints
and
things
like
that
over
the
years,
that
can
put
you
in
a
little
bit
of
a
bad
position.
So,
honestly,
from
from
a
budget
standpoint,
we
we're
not
really
in
a
position
to
convert
asphalt
streets
to
concrete
just
the
the
cost
is
too
high.
F
However,
you
know
we
are
definitely
trying
to
keep
the
concrete,
brick
and
blackstone
streets
that
we
have.
You
know
that
asset
is
already
there.
We
don't
have
to
go
and
install
a
new
brick
street,
which
would
be
extremely
expensive
we,
but
if
we
can
do
repairs
and
keep
the
one
that
we
have
that's
going
to
be,
you
know
usually
better
from
a
cost
perspective
and
long
term.
Instead
of
you
know,
the
quick
fix
would
be
pave
it
over.
F
It
looks
great
for
a
couple
years,
but
then
you're
going
back
again
and
repaving
it
and
not
too
long.
So
you
know.
Definitely
it
is
it's.
We
are
constrained
by
by
one
the
material
that
we
have
and
what
we've
been
given
to
deal
with,
and
the
budget
that
we
have,
but
you
know
certainly
looking
to
to
at
least
keep
the
the
other
material
streets
that
we
have,
as
they
do
have
longer.
Lifespans.
B
All
right
thanks
eric
and
angie
kelsey
hi,
everyone.
L
L
Safe
routes
to
school
program,
so
I'm
active
with
the
local,
our
neighborhood
bike
and
pedestrian
group,
better
streets,
lawrenceville
and
we've
been
working
on
traffic
calming
efforts
for
a
while
and
in
two
streets
a
few
streets
in
particular.
One
has
been
40th
street
and
we've
been
very
happy
and
grateful
for
all
the
work
that
domi's
been
doing
on
40th
street,
with
the
new
lights
at
40th
and
penn.
And
now
we
just
found
out
that
we're
getting
a
lit
pedestrian
signal
across
40th
street.
It's
too
bad.
L
The
other
interventions
didn't
work
and
like
that,
had
to
be
the
most
serious
intervention
to
finally
get
people
to
slow
down,
but
really
happy
to
hear
about
that.
And
so
now
we're
also
organizing
people
along
39th
street
to
submit
the
traffic
calming
application.
But
I
understand
that
there's
a
long
line,
a
lot
of
streets
are
very
interested
in
getting
traffic
calming.
L
That
street
also
is
has
a
school
on
it,
and
so
I
was
wondering
if
we
should
just
submit
a
traffic
calming
application
when
that
happens,
or
if
there's
another
application
process
or
another
just
process
for
this
vote
for
the
safe
routes
to
school
program.
D
So
the
safe
routes
to
school
program
is
starting
off
as
a
sort
of
two-year
effort,
we're
working
with
the
four
identified
schools
to
develop
the
program
and
then
to
implement
solutions
at
those
locations.
D
The
goal
is
that,
at
the
end
of
2022,
that
program
gets
transitioned
from
a
state-funded
program
to
a
city
program,
and
at
that
point
I
think
there
would
be
an
opportunity
to
open
up-
and
I
don't
know
how
this
would
look
right
now,
but
then
to
open
it
up
to
either
new
round
of
champion
schools
or
other
types
of
safe
routes
to
schools.
Projects
mike
can
speak
to
the
traffic
homing
process,
and
you
know
how
that
is.
E
At
here
it
happens
at
least
once
every
every
zoom
call
I'm
on
the
best
yeah
kelsey.
The
best
short-term
intervention
is
to
go
through
a
traffic
con
program.
Unfortunately,
like
you
mentioned
we're
getting
close
to
triple
digits
right
now
in
terms
of
the
applications
we've
received
and
we're
we're
trying
to
amend
our
program
to
make
it
a
little
more
nimble.
But
it's
right
right
now
that
we
have
80
more
locations
to
go
through
where
we're
going
to
place.
E
Traffic
counters
collect
basic
speed
data
traffic
volumes
percent
of
vehicle
speeding
for
us
to
accommodate
you,
it's
gonna
be
a
while.
I
am
familiar
with
39th
street,
I'm
also
familiar
with
the
40th
and
davidson
beacon,
given
the
amount
of
investment,
that's
already
happening
on
one
side
of
arsenal
it'll,
my
guess
is
it'll
be
hard
to
justify
spending
that
investment
on
the
other
side
of
arsenal.
E
Without
you
know,
taking
a
look
and
reflecting
making
sure
we're
not
spending
too
much
effort
in
central
lawrenceville
and
we're
gonna
probably
have
to
distribute
that
traffic
calming
funding
elsewhere.
But
that
being
said
definitely
submit
an
application,
not
just
after
patients,
because
it'll
be
a
while
for
us
to
get
to
it.
L
Long
list,
but
probably
worthwhile
to
get
on
the
list-
and
I
know
there
are
other
streets
as
well
that
are
in
lawrence-
are
planning
on
submitting.
So
this
will
be
in
line
thanks
sounds.
B
Hey
mike,
do
you
mind
just
explaining
a
little
bit
for
those
on
the
call
who
may
not
be
familiar
with
the
traffic
calming
program
and
kind
of
that
request,
application
process.
E
Yeah,
absolutely
we
so.
The
demand
for
traffic
calming
far
exceeds
the
supply
base
in
terms
of
available
resources
for
staff
and
like
available
resources
for
construction.
So
we
set
up
an
application
process
where
neighbors,
who
are
interested
in
pursuing
calming
for
their
street
can
complete
a
petition
with
a
certain
percentage
of
their
neighbors.
E
Once
that
petition
is
completed,
we
receive
the
application
we
review
it
and
then,
if
it
is
deemed
to
be
the
street
where
traffic
calming
interventions
would
make
sense,
we
will
go
ahead
and
collect
pre-project
data
that
pre-project
data
actually
could,
in
and
of
its
own,
be
a
way
to
determine
whether
or
not
that
project
will
receive
construction,
because
there's
certain
certain
streets
you
need
other,
like
they
have
too
low
volume
too
high
volume,
the
grade
of
the
street
and
so
based
on
that
data,
we'll
make
a
determination
in
terms
of
which
locations
are
most
in
need
of
calming
and
then
from
there
we'll
go
ahead
and
reach
out
the
community
and
begin
the
project
process.
E
B
Thanks
mike
larry.
G
G
Who
sets
the
standards
for
construction
there?
Who
does
the
work
and
who's
responsible?
If
there
are
problems.
F
I
would
say
it
takes
a
lot
of
coordination,
so
there
there
are
a
lot
of
intricacies
working
with
the
railroad.
Is
it
frankly
is
a
challenge.
It
tends
to
be
a
long
process.
F
Typically,
if
it's
an
upgrade
crossing
the
railroad
owns.
Well,
obviously
they
on
the
tracks,
but
but
generally
they
own
the
crossing
itself.
You
know
the
area
right
in
between
the
tracks
and
immediately
adjacent
to
the
tracks.
If
there
is
if
there
are
gates
or
flashing
lights
or
those
kinds
of
things,
I
believe
generally,
the
railroad
owns
those
as
well.
So
so,
as
a
city,
you
know,
if
it's
our
street,
we
could
pave
up
to
it
on
both
sides,
but
we
could
not.
We
couldn't
improve
the
crossing
itself
of
our
own
volition.
F
We
would
have
to
you
know,
discuss
with
the
railroad
and
and
come
to.
You
know,
work
out
some
kind
of
agreement
if
they're
going
to
do
it
or
you
know,
if
they're
the
situation
where,
where
we
were
trying
to
to
advocate
for
that
work,
you
know
they
ultimately
have
have.
The
the
ownership
of
the
actual
crossing
itself
and
and
those
crossings
are,
are
governed
by
the
the
puc,
the
public
utility
commission
of
the
state.
So
the
puc
can
order
a
crossing
to
be
maintained.
They
can
order
crossing
to
be
upgraded.
F
G
So
if
a
pedestrian
or
a
cyclist
or
a
motorist
has
a
problem
on
the
pavement,
but
within
the
right
of
way,
do
they
have
to
call
the
puc
instead
of
3-1-1.
F
That
is
an
excellent
question
and
I'm
not
sure
if
I
can
answer
it,
I
don't
know
like
how
how
an
average
citizen
would
if
they
would
have
success
at
the
puc.
I
mean
I
think
that
they
can.
You
could
probably
reach
out
to
both.
To
be
quite
honest,
I
mean
you
know
if
it's
our
street,
we
ought
to
know
about
it
as
well,
but
you
know
the
puc
ultimately
has
jurisdiction
over
the
railroad.
B
Thanks
kelsey,
you
have
another
question.
L
F
F
L
B
H
Wondering,
and
if
this
was
already
mentioned,
I
apologize-
I
was
listening
on
the
phone
and
on
my
way
here
beside
the
point,
can
someone
explain
to
me
the
the
history
maybe
quickly
of
of
the
decline
of
where
we
are
now
with
the
trolley
lines
and
streetcars?
I
realize
that
they're
like
really
expensive
to
put
in,
but
I
also
I
think
I
have
some
understanding
that
we
had
a
lot
of
them
at
one
point
in
our
history
and
I'm
just
curious
like
who
made
the
decision
that
I.
H
Just
pave
them
over
probably
a
gradual
thing
and.
H
A
two-part
question
would
be
looking
to
the
future.
What
what
do
you
think
is
the
best
mode
of
transportation,
inner
city,
so
not
necessarily
thinking
regionally,
but
just
like
is
it?
Would
it
be
a
bus
or
a
gondola
or
a
bicycle?
I
don't
know
so
thanks.
F
I'd
be
willing
to
dive
into
that.
I
I
don't
claim
to
be
an
expert
or
the
official
word
on
this,
but
I
mean
you
know.
I
guess
my
understanding
is
in
kind
of
the
demise
of
trolleys.
It's
really
a
national
story.
F
You
know
it
goes
back
to
you
know,
probably
the
the
60s
and
and
the
automobile
era,
and
you
know
the
dreams
of
the
country
and
everyone
owning
an
automobile,
and
there
were,
I
think
there
were
actually
policy
decisions
made,
which
you
know
kind
of
shifted,
focus
to
automobiles
and
away
from
trolleys
rail
things
like
that
and
that
hit
us
just
like
it
hit
many
other
cities
throughout
the
country.
F
You
know,
and
once
people
start
driving,
you
know
if,
if
ridership
drops,
then
you
know
financially,
it
becomes
tougher
to
operate.
Those
I
mean,
I
think,
historically,
most
of
those
the
trolley
and
bus
service
in
the
city
was
was
operated
by
companies
privately
operated
and
then,
as
things
started
to
collapse,
you
know
some
of
the
remaining
operations
were
folded
into
the
port
authority
of
allegheny
county
and
they
took
over.
You
know
kind
of
what
was
left
and
now
they
maintain
it.
F
You
know
it
takes
investment
to
operate
a
system
like
that.
You
know,
I
mean
that
that
can
be
a
topic
of
conversation.
Sometimes,
like
you
know,
should
should
transit
be
subsidized,
but
I
mean
the
fact
is
that
that
riding
in
vehicles
is
subsidized,
a
lot
through
through
building
roads
and-
and
you
know
many
other
kinds
of
decisions,
so
the
answer
is
yes,
transportation
is
is
subsidized
by
the
government.
We
have
a
role
in
that,
so
I
mean
that
you
know
kind
of
going
around
in
the
big
picture.
F
D
Yeah
I
see
that
we've
already
ran
over,
but
I
can't
hear
a
question
like
that
and
not
chime
in
a
little
bit.
In
addition
to
all
of
those
other
forces,
I
think
you
know
something
that
pittsburgh
experienced.
Many
other
cities
did
as
well
was
a
population
decline
and
a
a
loss
of
populations
outside
of
the
city
center,
which
obviously
have
has
implications
for
housing,
transportation,
jobs.
You
know
the
distribution
of
economic
wealth
and
many
many
many
other
things
that
come
along
with
it.
D
However,
all
that
said,
and
I'm
not
a
pittsburgh
historian,
there
are
people
who
can
speak
to
this
much
more
eloquently
than
I
can,
but
I'll
give
you
my
sort
of
armchair
perspective
of
it.
Is
that
because
pittsburgh
is
a
city
that
did
come
to
prominence
as
a
city
where
people
you
know
there
are
these
amazing,
you
know
commercial
centers
people
who
walked
to
work.
D
Like
really,
you
know,
residential
neighborhoods,
with
like
a
ton
of
character,
a
fantastic
downtown
and
because
we
came
to
to
rise,
the
heyday
of
pittsburgh
was
not
the
heyday
of
the
automobile.
You
know
we
have
preserved,
I
think,
or
have
the
opportunity
to
go
back
to
those
really
quality
things.
We
can
go
back
to
a
city
where
walking
is
you
know
a
great
way
to
get
around
where
you
know
trolleys
or
service?
You
know,
additional
transit
service
can
be.
D
You
know,
part
of
the
solution,
and
to
that
end
I
would
say
that
the
2070
mobility
plan
looked
at,
although
it's
projecting
out
50
years.
A
lot
of
those
types
of
solutions
were
calling
back
to
the
trolleys,
the
gondolas,
the
things
that
we
had,
that
we've
lost
over
time,
because
there
was
a
reason
why
they
were
there,
there's
a
reason
why
they
went
away,
but
then
there's
a
you
know,
also
good
good
sense
for
why
they
might
come
back
as
the
city
as
the
city
changes.
D
Also,
the
city
department
of
community
planning
will
be
kicking
off
their
comprehensive
land
use
plan,
no
spoiler
alerts
because
you
guys
will
hear
from
dcp
but,
like
the
type
of
land
use,
you
know,
strategies
and
trans
mobility
strategies
that
come
along
with,
like
a
long-range
transportation
planning
effort,
I
think,
are
also
going
to
call
back
to
some
of
those
sort
of
things
that
we've
lost
over
time.
E
Don't
forget
the
the
second
part
of
the
question.
My
heart
says
bike.
My
head
says
bus.
I
love,
I
think
buses
are
the
cheapest,
most
impactful,
most
flexible
form
of
public
transit
mass
transit,
and
that
is
where
I
think
our
investments
need
to
be.
But
I
really
love
my
bike
and
so
that's
my
answer.
B
Thank
you
andy
and
mike,
let's
see,
ally.
J
Yeah,
so
this
is
a
niche
question
here
for
the
north
side,
but
if
the
topic
is
one
you'd
like
to
expound
on
for
other
areas,
please
do
I'm
curious
about
the
potential
for
the
davis
avenue
bridge
that
would
connect
brighton
heights
with
review
park.
It's
a
way
to
really
increase
park
access
and
put
a
major
park
in
reach
of
people
who,
like
the
alternative
of
public
transportation,
is
I
mean
it's
tdst's
public
transportation
to
the
park
and
really
not
an
easy
walk
without
without
that
bridge.
J
So
I
know,
there's
was
a
feasibility
study
paid
for
and
that's
great
progress,
but
where
might
it
stand
and
are
there
other,
you
know?
Is
there
the
potential
for
other
pedestrian
bridges
that
would
really
dramatically
change
access
to
other
city
assets.
F
So
yeah
I
can.
I
can
talk
about
that.
So
I
have
good
news
about
that.
It's
not
a
hundred
percent,
but
we
do
have
funding.
We
are
starting
design
for
a
replacement
bridge
for
the
davis
avenue
bridge.
It
will
be
a
pedestrian
and
bicycle
bridge.
F
Not
a
vehicular
bridge
design
will
be
kicking
off
this
winter.
That
is
funded
now.
Construction
is
not
fully
funded
yet,
but
we
would
expect
the
design
effort
to
to
take
you
know,
probably
in
the
range
of
18
months,
and
while
we
are
doing
that,
we
will
be
looking.
You
know
applying
for
grants
and
things
like
that.
F
But
at
a
minimum
we
are
going
to
complete
the
design
so
that
we
can,
you
know,
have
that
in
our
pocket
and
then
go
after
you
know,
construction
funding
be
that
grand
sources
or
whatever
and
hopefully
within
a
couple
years,
be
prepared
to
to
you
know
kind
of
resurrect
that
that
crossing
that
existed
and
and
has
been
gone
for
a
while.
B
L
B
I'm
not
sure
if
we
mentioned
this
at
the
beginning,
but
domi
is
the
newest
department
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
in
a
very
short
period
of
time,
have
done
a
lot
of
really
important
and
thoughtful
work
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
all
the
residents
here.
So
we
thank
them
for
that,
and
also
for
this
presentation,
I'm
gonna
give
a
few
more
claps
just
for
answering
those
questions.
B
Candidly
and
thoughtfully,
I
see
some
more
coming
up
here
too,
and
so
for
civic
leadership
academy
participants-
I
I
just
wanted
to
let
everybody
know
that
we
are
actually
remind
everybody
that
we're
actually
not
meeting
again
until
2021,
so
we
do
have
the
next
two
weeks
off.
So
I
hope
that
everybody
stays
safe,
has
good
holidays.
However
you're
celebrating-
and
I
also
wanted
to
do
a
quick
plug
for
an
office
of
community
affairs
program
called
snow
angels,
which
I
don't
think
I've
mentioned
before.
B
B
Likewise,
if
you
are
somebody
who
is
in
need
of
a
little
bit
of
assistance
and
keeping
your
sidewalk
clear,
you
can
do
all
of
those
same
things
and
request
assistance.
So
just
quick
plug
since
it's
been
a
very
snowy
day,
and
I
think
we
can
expect
another
tomorrow
so
other
than
that.
I
will
stay
on
for
a
little
bit.
But
thank
you
again
to
our
domi
presenters
and
I
hope
you
all
have
a
good.
