Hello
good
evening,
my
name
is
david
hutchinson,
I'm
the
assistant
director
for
capital
and
asset
management
with
the
mayor's
office
of
management
and
budget
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
thanks
for
joining
us
for
the
first
of
our
three
public
meetings
for
the
2022
capital
budget,
there's
two
big
goals
for
these
meetings.
The
first
is
so
that
you,
as
members
of
the
public,
our
neighbors,
our
residents,
get
a
chance
to
learn
about
the
capital
budget.
B
If
you've
been
to
our
meetings
on
the
capital
budget
in
the
past,
you
may
have
had
a
great
experience
talking
to
neighbors
and
small
groups
debating
really
important
questions
with
the
move
to
digital
with
covid.
We've
actually
been
able
to
switch
things
up
a
little
bit
and
drill
down
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
in
certain
sections
of
the
budget.
B
I
do
miss
meeting
new
people
and
talking
to
people
from
different
neighborhoods.
I
also
miss
the
pierogies
so
fingers
crossed
on
that
we'll
be
back
eating
food
and
talking
capital
budget
this
time
next
year.
As
a
quick
reminder
again,
this
will
be
on
youtube.
So
if
you
found
the
conversation
to
be
something
you
informative
or
something,
your
neighbors
might
be
interested
in
feel
free
to
share
the
link.
B
After
that's
posted-
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
to
the
office
of
community
affairs,
leah
and
hersh
have
done
a
lot
of
work
on
this
meeting.
In
the
background,
a
lot
of
work
to
promote
it
special
thank
you
to
the
city
channel,
the
department
of
innovation
and
performance
they've
been
a
huge
asset,
the
last
15
months,
helping
us
adjust
and
still
interact
with
the
public
in
a
meaningful
way,
and
thanks
again
to
our
interpreters,
heather
and
jim,
who
are
with
us
tonight
to
make
sure
everybody
can
enjoy
the
meeting.
B
A
B
And
then
one
more
slide,
so
tonight's
agenda
we're
going
to
be
covering
kind
of
four
things:
we're
going
to
do
a
short
overview
of
the
capital
budget.
Brandon's
going
to
take
you
through
some
of
the
mechanics
of
how
we
create
the
capital
budget.
What
a
capital
improvement
plan
is
we're
gonna,
pass
it
to
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure,
we're
joined
by
director
rix
to
get
some
expertise
on
what
they
do.
Give
you
some
background
on
how
those
dollars
are
spent.
B
So
please
help
us
share
the
survey.
What
we
end
up
doing
with
the
survey
results,
is
we
publish
them
in
the
capital
budget?
We
also
share
them
with
departments
we
try
to
get
all
the
survey.
Results
turned
around
pretty
quickly
to
the
departments
and
the
council
offices,
so
they
have
an
opportunity
to
look
at
your
survey
responses
and
write
a
proposal
for
the
2022
capital
budget,
based
on
your
input.
Also,
later
on,
when
you'll
be
asking
questions
of
the
expert
panel,
those
are
going
to
be
recorded
as
part
of
the
youtube
as
well.
B
So
that's
a
great
opportunity
to
have
a
public
conversation
about
something
that's
important
to
you
and
we
do
our
best
to
well
all
the
questions
you
pose
will
be
recorded
as
well,
so
we
can
share
anything
written
in
this
session
with
the
departments
and
council
offices
as
well.
At
this
time,
I'm
going
to
pass
it
to
brendan
who's
with
the
office
of
management
and
budget
as
well
to
talk
through
some
details
on
the
capital
budget
itself.
C
C
So
I'm
going
to
describe
a
little
bit
the
annual
budgeting
process
that
we
follow
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
how
tonight's
public
meeting
plugs
into
that
process.
So
the
two
main
governing
documents
that
are
produced
by
the
city
of
pittsburgh
annually
are
both
our
operating
budget
and
our
capital
budget.
As
you
might
have
guessed,
we're
focused
on
this
document
here
on
the
right:
the
capital
budget.
There
are
important
differences
between
both
of
these
documents.
C
The
operating
budget
covers
everything
that
is
required
to
manage
the
city's
daily
operations,
so
that
pays
for
all
staff
salaries
and
benefits.
It
covers
office
supplies.
So
this
is
where
pennsylvania
paid
from
it's.
It
includes
some
coverage
of
city
assets,
but
it's
more
annual
maintenance
and
upkeep,
rather
than
significant
investments
that
would
be
covered
by
the
capital
budget.
The
capital
budget
is
paying
for
everything
that
you,
the
public,
will
interact
with
daily.
That.
C
C
Essentially
it's
city
or
a
significant
improvements
to
city
owned
or
maintained
assets,
so
you
might
think
about
the
difference
between
these
two
documents.
As
being
you
know,
the
operating
budget
might
be
the
oil
change
for
a
car,
and
the
capital
budget
on
the
right
might
be
replacing
your
transmission.
That's
kind
of
what
distinguishes
both.
C
So
this
slide
here
is
pulled
directly
from
our
2021
capital
budget,
and
this
is
what's
called
the
capital
improvement
plan,
so
we
paid
for
a
fund
many
many
capital
projects
within
any
given
year,
and
these
dollar
amounts
here
are
the
sum
total
of
what
is
budgeted
for
all
of
those
projects.
Capital
projects
cost
millions
of
dollars.
They
often
take
years
to
complete,
starting
with
the
very
initial
planning.
A
C
So
that's
you
can
kind
of
see
here
following
along
with
each
row,
what
our
anticipated
funding
is
to
to
pay
for
all
of
these
projects
for
the
five
years
after
after
that
budget
that
we're
covering
and
each
of
these
columns
here
are
the
funding
sources
that
we
use
to
pay
for
capital
projects
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
So
I
won't
get
two
in
the
weeds
on
these,
but
moving
from
left
to
right,
cdbg
is
the
community
development
block
grant,
which
I
think
david
mentioned
a
little
bit
earlier.
C
This
is
an
annual
grant
that
we
receive
from
the
federal
department
of
housing
and
urban
development
bond
is
money
that
we
borrow
and
pay
back.
We
use
it
to
finance
large
investments
that
we
think
are
going
to
be
very
long
lasting,
so
that
might
be
a
major
bridge.
Improvement
might
be
something
that
we
pay
for
with
bond
dollars
where
we're
comfortable
taking
out
the
debt
and
financing
it
over
a
long
time
to
go
back
to
kind
of
the
car
analogy
that
I
used
earlier.
C
C
C
Year
is
spent
preparing
the
next
year's
capital
budget,
so
we
start
the
year
in
april,
when
the
mayor
proposes
to
the
city
departments
what
the
priorities
will
be
for
the
following
year's
budget.
So
these
are
overarching
themes,
they're,
not
necessarily
a
specific
project
that
the
mirror
wishes
to
see
in
the
budget,
but
they're
they're
meant
to
guide
what
sort
of
proposals
we
receive
and
there's
a
slide
in
a
bit
here
where
you'll
actually
see
what
those
those
priorities
are
in.
May
the
office
of
management
and
budget
issues,
a
request
for
proposals
to
all.
C
Who
are
also
engaged
in
administering
capital
projects
and
then
also
external
partner
organizations
who
we
have
worked
with
in
the
past
again
on
implementing
capital
projects?
This
bold
line
here
is
where
we
are
tonight.
In
june.
Every
year
we
hold
public
hearings
to
get
feedback
from
you
about
what
should
be
in
the
capital
budget,
that
that
is
a
priority
for
city
residents.
C
C
So
there
are
maybe
two
dozen
meetings
that
occur
throughout
the
summer
to
review
all
the
proposals
that
came
in
in
any
given
year.
So
what
happens
then?
Is
that
committee
evaluates
every
proposal?
The
is
for
them.
Those
scores
are
summarized,
and
then
those
are
presented
to
the
mayor's
office
and
then
that
becomes
kind
of
the
foundation
that
is
put
into
the
next
row
here,
which
is
the
september
budget
which
is
proposed
by
the
mayor
by
september
30th
of
each
year.
C
This
was
actually
a
practice
that
was
started
with
state
act
11
in
2004,
and
we
have
put
it
into
city
code
now
that
there
will
be
this
initial
budget
that
is
presented
in
september
of
each
year,
so
that
budget
document
is
then
refined
for
the
next
six-ish
weeks
and
then
in
november.
The
mayor
formally
proposes
the
next
year's
capital
budget.
The
city
council
at
a
state
of
the
city
address
that
it
produced.
C
Year
so,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
start
every
year
with
what
the
mayor's
priorities
are
for
for
the
next
year's
budget.
I
won't
go
in
through
each
of
these
individually
and
again.
These
are.
These
are
meant
to
be
overarching
themes,
as
you
can
see,
rather
than
than
something
the
the
specific
proposal,
they're
meant
to
inspire
proposal,
ideas
from
departmental
leadership.
You
know
they're
meant
to
engage
departments
with
assessing.
How
does
this
proposal
that
is
being
prepared
necessarily
fit
into
into
the
mayor's
budget
and
priorities?
C
C
So
this
line
here
is
actually
the
project
proposal
form
that
is
distributed
to
city
departments,
authorities
and
partner
organizations
annually.
As
you
can
see,
we're
not
just
interested
in
what
the
dollar
amount
is.
You
know
we
want
to
know
what
the
project
is.
We
also
wanted
justification
for
why
we
would
do
the
project
or
what
the
impact
would
be
of
not
doing
the
project,
and
then
we
also
want
to
know
what
the
operational
impact
would
be
if
we
were
to
implement
a
capital
project.
A
A
C
And
then
this
slide
here
is
what
that
committee
I
referenced
earlier,
the
capital
program,
facilitation
committee.
This
is
the
scoring
criteria
that
is
used
to
evaluate
all
of
the
capital
project
proposals,
so
we're
looking
all
the
way
from
if
a
project
proposal
addresses
a
threat
to
public
safety
or
health
through
does
it
comply
with
a
planning
document
that
the
city
has
issued
and
adopted
when
these
are
all
scored
by
the
by
the
capital
program
facilitation
committee?
C
C
D
All
right,
thank
you
brendan.
Let
me
switch
over
to
my
screen,
see
if
we
can
get
this
to
work.
Some
karina
rix.
I
am
the
director
of
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
and
we
do
make
up
a
significant
share
of
the
capital
budget.
I
think
last
year.
Maybe
it
was
around.
54
of
the
capital
budget
became
projects
that
were
overseen
by
domi
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure.
D
Traffic
calming,
which
is
a
very
popular
program,
is
under
that
group.
The
maintenance
of
our
markings
and
signals
all
fall
there
as
well,
and
I'm
pleased
to
be
joined
by
our
municipal
traffic
engineer
nick
ross,
who
now
oversees
the
bureau
of
traffic
operations.
So
the
mission
of
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
is
to
provide
the
physical
mobility
necessary
to
support
the
social
and
economic
mobility
of
the
people
of
pittsburgh,
and
we
do
that
through
the
management,
improvement
and
operation
of
the
public
rights
of
way.
D
So
research
has
shown
us
that
transportation
mobility
is
the
single
largest
factor
in
economic
mobility
and
we
really
take
that
mission
to
heart,
we're
organized
around
five
goals
that
really
drive
our
work
and
that
we
try
and
center
our
our
findings
around
so
first
is
that
no
one
dies
or
is
seriously
injured,
traveling
on
city
streets,
so
vision,
zero,
we're
very
committed
to.
We
sometimes
measure
this
by
really
thinking
about.
D
D
D
Can
people
buy
ice
cream
and
get
it
home
before
it
melts
inclusive
of
waiting
for
the
bus
waiting
for
a
bike
share,
walking
home
all
the
different
ways,
and
we
work
that
both
in
partnership
with
the
department
of
city
planning
and
ura
and
other
entities,
as
well
as
trying
to
facilitate
the
easy
flow
of
our
mobility
system?
Thirdly,
that
all
trips,
less
than
one
mile,
are
easy
and
enjoyable
to
accommodate
accomplished
by
non-vehicle
travel.
D
So
we
know
that
about
25
of
the
motor
vehicle
trips
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
are
less
than
a
mile
in
distance.
That's
way
too
many.
So
if
we
can
achieve
this
goal,
we
can
reduce
traffic
congestion
and
associated
emissions
significantly,
just
by
making
it
more
pleasant
to
travel
on
those
very
short
distance
trips
by
more
sustainable
means.
D
Right
now,
housing
and
transportation
make
up
the
two
largest
portions
of
a
household
income,
the
lower
that
you
go
on
our
income
scale,
the
greater
the
portion
that's
spent
on
transportation
and
transportation
can
actually
be
a
higher
proportion
for
the
for
the
lowest
quintile
group
than
housing
is
and
energy
costs,
as
we
all
know,
particularly
in
winter,
is
a
significant
expense
for
our
household.
So
if
we
can
satisfy
basic
mobility
needs,
adequate
housing
needs
expending
less
than
45
percent
of
the
income.
D
D
We
pride
ourselves
on
being
a
city
of
neighborhoods,
but
sometimes
our
streets
seem
definitively
less
neighborly
than
we
might
like
them
to
be,
and
so
really
looking
at
that
and
thinking
about.
How
can
we
create
streets
that
really
tell
the
story
of
how
our
community
sees
themselves
so
that
the
general
public
in
the
world
can
can
see
themselves
see
us,
as
we
see
ourselves
through
our
streets,
we're
responsible
for
a
significant
number
of
assets
and
improvements
so
over
a
thousand
miles
of
local
streets,
there's
about
1200
miles
of
streets
in
the
city?
D
The
the
balance
are
state
routes
and
county
streets,
we're
responsible
for
over
600,
signalized,
intersections
and
and
a
host
more
of
other
electronic
devices
like
school
flashing
signs
variable
message:
signs
other
kinds
of
devices
that
need
to
be
installed
and
maintained
by
our
crews.
Over
60
thousand
street
lights
are
under
our
responsibility
to
maintain
and
keep
operational.
D
120
bridges
are
locally
maintained,
so
we
have
about
400
bridges.
Overall,
many
of
them
are
railroad
bridges.
A
number
of
them
are
again
state
and
county
bridges,
but
120
are
locally
maintained
by
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure.
We
have
about
20
percent
of
our
bridges
that
are
categorized
as
in
poor
condition.
Right
now,
so
definitely
an
area
of
needed
investment.
D
We
have
70
miles
of
trails
and
bicycle
lanes
that
has
increased.
We
added
13
more
lanes
just
in
the
past
year
alone.
We
anticipate
adding
at
least
that
many
this
year
as
we
continue
to
try
and
provide
safe
facilities
for
people
who
choose
to
travel
by
that
mode
of
transportation.
We
have
over
800
sets
of
public
steps.
We
have
hundreds
of
thousands
of
street
signs
that
need
to
be
maintained
on
a
really
frequent
basis
as
they
get
knocked
down
or
faded
or
removed.
D
We
have
tens
of
thousands
of
pavement
markings,
including
thousands
and
thousands
of
miles
of
long
lines,
many
of
which
need
to
be
restored
every
year,
so
our
crews
are
very
busy
every
year
going
around
and
remarking
those
sixty
thousand
rights-of-way
permits
were
issued
last
year.
That
includes
for
private
development,
as
well
as
for
utility
uses
and
other
activities
in
the
public
rights
of
way.
It's
a
tremendous
amount
of
coordination
that
needs
to
happen
and
we're
grateful
that
we
now
have
an
electronic
permitting
system.
D
D
We
we
have
a
great
number
of
needs
with
all
of
those
assets
that
we're
responsible
for
more
needs,
then
there's
frankly,
budget
or
staff
capacity
to
deliver
on,
and
so
we
do
need
to
prioritize
those
projects
as
possible,
and
so
we've
developed
a
prioritization
process
within
the
department
before
those
projects
even
get
into
that
capital
budget
review
team
that
brendan
mentioned
so
there's
already
a
vetting
that
happens
before
they
arrive
there
so
first
and
for
foremost
bridges
and
retaining
walls.
These
are
structural
assets.
D
These
are
some
of
our
most
expensive
activities
that
we
undertake.
So
how
do
we
prioritize
these?
We
prioritize
these
first
by
critical
safety
upgrades.
So
is
there
something
as
you
as
you
may
have
seen-
we
have
occasions
where
our
bridges
are
dropping
material
onto
streets
or
properties
below
where
we
have
to
restrict
a
lane,
because
it's
no
longer
safe
for
live
loads
to
travel
on
it,
where
there
may
be
openings
in
the
sidewalk
on
the
bridge
that
then
you
can
see
below.
D
So,
if
there's,
if
it's
a
critical
safety
need,
obviously
that
that
rises
it
right
up
to
the
top.
We
then
look
at
asset
condition,
and
what
is
the
regular
maintenance
schedule
that
this
should
be
on
to
maintain
that
asset
most
of
our
bridges
are
inspected
every
year.
Some
of
our
bridges
need
to
be
exp,
I'm
sorry.
Every
two
years,
some
of
our
bridges
need
to
be
inspected
every
six
months.
D
D
So
can
we
we
don't
want
to
defer
a
relatively
low
cost
investment
today
and
allow
that
bridge
to
deteriorate
to
a
place
where
we
need
to
do
a
full
bridge
replacement
in
the
not
too
distant
future.
We
would
rather
do
that
timely
maintenance
on
it
so
that
we
can
extend
the
life
of
the
assets,
save
ourselves
resources
in
the
long
term,
even
though
that
bridge
may
not
be
the
most
deficient
in
condition
right
now.
D
So,
for
example,
the
duck
hollow
bridge
that
we
just
completed
this
past
year,
while
it
only
services,
a
small
number,
relatively
small
number
of
households
across
nine
mile
run.
It
is
the
only
way
in
and
out
of
that
community
and
so
for
emergency
services
and
others.
It
was
critically
important
that
we
addressed
that
bridge,
for
we
then
have
a
large
program.
These
are
roughly
alphabetical
in
terms
of
the
the
programs
in
the
budget
book
if
you
care
to
follow
along
in
your
capital
budget
document.
D
On-Street
parking
management
or
on-street
curbside
management
and
then
local
land
use
characteristics.
So
are
we
seeing
an
area
that
is
undergoing
pretty
significant
land
use
changes
that
require
that
we
get
ahead
of
what's
happening
on
the
transportation
network,
so,
for
example,
the
strip
district
of
course
has
undergone
rapid
change.
D
D
So
we
also
then
look
at
different
kinds
of
social,
economic
characteristics,
schools,
libraries,
religious
institutions.
How
do
we
need
to
service
connectivity
to
these
critical
destinations
that
people
are
needing
to
get
to?
So
we
again,
we
understand
that.
It's
not
transportation,
just
for
transportation's
sake,
it's
transportation
to
get
to
important
places
and
to
satisfy
the
needs
of
daily
life,
and
so
looking
at
those
destinations.
Where
are
they
and
how
can
we
better
connect?
Our
communities?
D
D
D
Again
we
look
at
sort
of
the
cost
benefit
analysis.
How
many
people
would
be
served
by
this
improvement?
Is
it
a
higher
density
areas?
Are
there
more
vulnerable
street
users
there
that
we
would
want
to
protect
protect?
Is
it
is
it
proximity
to
schools,
parks,
senior,
centers,
places
of
worship,
places
that
would
generate
that
kind
of
pedestrian
traffic
and
again
we
would
want.
D
Again
many
many
locations
that
require
traffic
safety
interventions
there.
We
would
look
at
factors
like
sidewalk
width.
Is
it
in
a
business
district
or
a
very
well
used
street
again,
where
there
might
be
major
generators
that
would
require
that
safety
intervention?
Does
it
overlay
with
other
planned
projects?
So
can
we
can
we
leverage
other
investments
to
accomplish
these
safety
improvements
and
stretch
that
dollar
further?
D
Do
we
have
bicycle
or
transit
corridors
that
are
in
alignment
with
that
intersection
or
that
segment
stakeholder
concern
public
input,
that
is
there?
Is
it
feasible,
so
some
of
our
streets
there's
really
very
few
interventions
that
we
can
offer
just
given
the
context
of
the
street.
So
obviously
we
want
to
prioritize
those
that
we
actually
can
can
make
a
meaningful
impact
on.
D
Regrettably,
we
also
need
to
look
at
parking
impact
because
we
do
hear
from
stakeholders
that
you
know
some
of
our
residents
are:
are
reticent
to
trade
parking
loss
for
enhanced
safety,
and
that's
really
a
culture
change
that
we're
hoping
to
facilitate,
because
we
we
certainly
believe
that
human
life
is,
is
the
most
precious
thing
to
work
toward
the
complete
streets.
Category
also
includes
signal,
upgrades
and
signal
installation.
So
again
we
have
over
600
signalized
intersections.
Some
of
them
are
vintage.
D
So
when
we
look
to
prioritize
our
signals,
we
look
at
the
the
condition
of
the
asset.
Is
it
you
know,
are
the
pool
structurally
sound?
Is
the
controller
you
know
adequate?
What
needs
to
happen
there?
We
look
at
safety
concerns.
Is
this
an
area
where
we
do
need
that
greater
functionality
in
order
to
address
safety
at
the
intersection?
D
What
is
the
sort
of
importance
of
this
signal
in
our
overall
network?
So
does
this
serve
a
number
of
travelers
by
all
modes
automobile
pedestrian
bicycle,
because
we
really
want
to
service
those
highest
volume
locations
to
the
best
of
our
abilities
versus
when
we
have
to
trade
off
then,
looking
at
those
lower
volume
locations
where
the
risk
is
perhaps
a
little
bit
less
just
by
virtue
of
the
volume
we
look
at
corridor
operations.
D
So
we,
if
we
have
a
number
of
different
signals
and
sequence
that
have
all
been
upgraded,
but
there's
one
in
the
middle.
That's
just
not
able
to
do
what
we
need
it
to
do.
That
really
throws
off
the
overall
corridor.
So
we
want
to
prioritize
those,
then
geographic
distribution,
so
really
looking
for
geographic
equity
as
well
as
economic
equity,
and
where
we
make
these
investments.
D
D
A
bike
facility
is
over
and
above
what
we
have
right
now
we're
not
able
to
do
that
all
at
once.
So
again,
we
need
to
prioritize
the
way
we
prioritize.
Those
is
looking
at
what
are
those
mobility
connections?
Where
does
that
enable
people
getting
to
and
from
those
critical
destinations,
the
density
of
housing?
D
We
look
at?
Does
this
complete
or
connect
assets
that
we've
already
invested
in
everybody
has
seen
the
bike
facilities
that
start
and
stop
along
corridors?
We
really
want
to
connect
that
as
a
whole
network,
so
prioritizing
those
connections.
Safety
concerns.
Is
this
a
place
where
we
see
you
know
a
higher
frequency
of
bicycle
related
crashes,
where
we
see
higher
vulnerabilities
for
peoples
on
bicycles,
looking
at
geographic
distribution
again,
so
that
we
can
allow
people
across
our
city
to
use
this
very
sustainable,
very
pleasant
mode
of
transportation,
no
matter
where
they
live
in
our
city.
D
D
D
We
have
quite
a
bit
more
riverfront
trail,
as
well
as
within
the
city
trail
network
that
we
would
like
to
build
out
again.
We
need
to
prioritize
among
those
among
those
desires,
and
so
we
try
and
take
those
trails
that
are
perhaps
easier
and
still
serve
a
high
degree
of
need.
So
we
look
at
right-of-way.
Is
this
something
where
we
already
have
the
property
or
can
get
the
property
from
railroads?
D
Can
we
build
it
without
needing
significant
retaining
walls,
or
you
know,
cutting
into
the
toe
of
a
slope
or
or
doing
anything
else
like
that?
So
looking
at
those
places
that
are
a
little
bit
easier
to
do,
connectivity
can
do
that.
Does
it
link
naturally,
to
other
pieces
of
the
network
that
we
have?
Does
it
take
people
where
they
want
to
go
expected
ridership
on
this
trail?
D
Is
it
something
that
actually
has
a
good
user
base
again
the
stakeholders,
technical
complexity,
you
know-
is
sort
of
encompassed
within
those
other
bullets
above
and
then
is
this
something
that
was
contemplated
in
either
our
bike
plus
plan
or
pedestrian
safety
action
plan
for
investments
that
are
recommended
for
those
modes
of
travel
so
have
continued
year
over
year
to
build
out
our
trail
network.
It's
really
served
the
city
exceptionally
well
and
is
one
of
the
most
pleasant
aspects
of
the
city.
D
D
The
property
lines
extend
into
the
base
of
the
of
the
river,
but
nonetheless,
the
impacts
of
flooding
affect
transportation
ways
as
well
as
private
property
and
public
property
and
sodomy,
because
we
have
the
engineers
generally
takes
responsibility
for
those
flood
control
projects.
This
can
include
within
this.
D
This
category
is
not
only
those
daylighted
waterways
streams
and
runs
that
we
have,
but
we
also
do
a
number
of
projects
in
partnership
with
pwsa
under
this
category
so
where
we
have
persistent
flooding
due
to
springs
or
other
kinds
of
water
flows
that
create
icy
conditions
or
just
very
problematic
to
handle
on
the
land.
Those
also
come
out
of
this
flood
control
line.
So
again,
public
input
is
important
to
that
jurisdiction.
Do
we
actually
have
the
rights
and
the
ability
to
to
make
an
impact
on
this?
D
D
Is
it
cost
effective
again
how
many
properties,
how
many
travelers
do
these
investments
really
benefit
so
trying
to
really
serve
the
greatest
number
with
every
dollar
that
we
spend
and
then
are
there
cost
sharing
opportunities?
Can
we
partner
with
pwsa
or
the
railroad
or
a
land
developer,
to
try
and
get
these
projects
accomplished
and
again
stretch
that
public
tower
steps,
some
of
our
favorite
things
in
the
city,
but
many
of
them
have
fallen
into
disrepair?
D
So
we
have
been
able
to
change
that
steps
closed
side
to
steps
wide,
open
and
reconnected,
which
is
great
so
for
our
steps,
investment.
We
were
able
to
do
a
really
innovative
prioritization
project
a
few
years
ago
called
the
city
accelerator
project,
which
david
was
a
part
of,
and
that
resulted
in
a
really
well
thought
out.
Prioritization
methodology
that
looked
at
all
of
these
things
condition
of
major
destinations,
length
of
alternate
routes.
D
Equity.
Does
it
service
those
big
pedestrian
generators
like
transit
connections
or
schools,
and
so
we
use
that
which
you
can
see
it
city
steps
plan.
If
you,
if
you
go
to
the
domey
website,
you
can
link
to
it
or
you
can
just
google
pittsburgh
city
steps.
Prioritization
and
it'll
take
you
there.
We
also
then
layer
on
top
of
that
prioritization
matrix,
which
is,
is
across
all
steps.
D
Then
we
layer
on
to
it
an
asset
condition
so
that
make
that
map
doesn't
necessarily
tell
you
what
is
the
condition
of
the
steps,
but
as
we
identify
steps
that
are
need
of
repair,
then
we
prioritize
them
using
that
methodology
and
then
we,
as
always
need
to
factor
in
the
rough
cost
benefit
analysis,
so
how
many
people
are
served
by
this
investment
that
is
taking
place
again?
We
have
a
huge
huge
backlog
of
need
on
the
city
steps
side
of
the
equation
and
not
nearly
enough
resources.
D
D
With
that
resource
amount
of
resource
investment,
we're
usually
able
to
pay
between
40
and
60
miles
of
city
street
each
year
again,
we
know
that
the
need
outstrips
the
resources
and
the
ability
to
deliver.
So
again
we
have
to
prioritize.
We
do
that,
based
on
the
overall
condition
index.
That's
what
that
oci
is.
D
So
we
try
and
allocate
those
resources
based
on
the
proportion
of
streets
in
poor
condition
across
the
nine
council
districts
of
the
city.
So
district
nine
gets
about
four
times
the
amount
of
investment
than
district
8
gets
because
they
contain
about
four
times
as
many
streets
in
poor
condition
than
district
8
receives.
So
we
strive
to
do
that.
Based
on
equity,
we
also
look
at
safety
concerns,
so
when
those
streets
do
fall
into
such
a
state
of
disrepair
that
it
presents
a
safety
issue,
we
must
address
those.
D
We
really
work
in
good
partnership
with
our
friends
at
dpw
who,
between
the
environmental
services,
crews
and
the
the
street
maintenance.
Crews,
really
drive
these
city
streets
every
single
day.
So
they
see
what
is
happening
out
there
and
they're
able
to
give
us
very
intimate
knowledge
on
the
need
that
exists
there
and
then
again
we
try
and
leverage
other
projects
so
where
utilities
are
doing,
work
and
they'll
end
up
paying
half
the
street
we'll
partner
with
them
to
pay
the
other
half.
D
D
So
if
we're
putting
speed
humps
in
we'll
try
and
partner
with
the
street
resurfacing
program
so
that
we
can
restore
the
street
in
between
those
humps
into
a
good
condition.
The
street
resurfacing
program
also
includes
our
concrete
brick
and
blockstone
investments,
and
so
again
those
are
done.
Well,
we
don't
have
the
oci.
We
don't
have
a
condition
inventory
there,
but
we
also
draw
resources
out
of
this
pool
to
do
that,
and
that
is
usually
where
we
can
make
more
surgical
investments.
D
D
D
So
we
have
to
tackle
it
on
both
sides.
We
again
have
more
landslide
activity
than
we
have
resources
to
address.
Each
landslide
that
requires
a
retaining
wall
generally
runs
us
about
a
million
dollars
per
project
so,
prior
to
2018,
we
averaged
about
600
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
in
landslide
investment
in
recent
years.
That
number
has
really
come
up
to
more
on
the
order
of
five
to
six
million
dollars
a
year
that
we're
investing
in
landslide
mitigation
and
so
again,
how
do
we
prioritize
those
needs?
D
D
So
looking
at
all
of
that
and
prioritizing
it
and
then
finally,
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure,
in
addition
to
the
very
significant
investments
that
are
made
through
our
own
local
bond
resources
and
and
some
of
our
paygo
money,
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
also
is
able
to
leverage
outside
funding,
principally
from
federal
and
state
funding
sources.
And
so
there's
a
number
of
federal
programs
that
we
look
to
tap.
D
D
Which
looks
at
general
streets,
so
those
programs
also
have
their
own
performance
measures
and
prioritization
criteria
which
include
highway
safety,
whether
it's
a
highway,
a
national
highway
system
asset
or
not,
that
doesn't
necessarily
mean.
Is
it
an
interstate,
so
many
of
our
local
streets
actually
fall
onto
the
national
highway
system?
Categorization,
because
they're
critical
connectors
and
are
sitting
in
the
region
is
there
transit
that
serves
these
streets?
Is
there
asset
management
that
is
necessary
spc?
D
D
There
is
talk
of
the
new
infrastructure
bill
of
perhaps
direct
aid,
or
at
least
a
mandatory
formula
funding
to
urbanize
centers,
which
would
assist
in
a
per
capita
basis
getting
more
state
and
federal
resources
coming
to
the
denser
urban
center,
rather
than
sort
of
spreading
it
out
across
our
town
county
region,
in
the
same
way
that
we
do
it
now
so,
but
federal
resources
are
critically
critically
important
to
us.
This
is
where
we
can
have
80
or
95
percent
of
a
project
funded
by
non-local
sources.
B
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much
director
rex.
It's
a
lot
of
different
balls
to
juggle,
but
I
think
the
department
does
things
extremely
well,
especially
the
last
couple
years.
I've
seen
such
huge
growth
with
the
traffic
calming
program
and
how
popular
it
is
for
good
reason.
I
think
everybody
gets
concerned
sometimes
when
you
see
cars
driving
a
little
bit
dangerously
on
your
street
and
it's
nice
to
know
that
there's
resources
available
to
help
change
that
brendan.
Do
you
mind
to
share
our
slide
deck
again?
B
We've
got
three
more
slides
from
us
and
then
we're
gonna
go
to
question
and
answer
so
this
will
be
quick.
We
wanted
to
give
you
a
sense
of
what
filling
out
the
survey
would
look
like
and
for
2022
we've
actually
moved
the
survey
to
engage
pgh,
which
is
a
great
platform
city
planning
has
started
maybe
a
year
ago,
maybe
a
year
and
a
half
ago
for
all
kinds
of
different
engagements
between
city
and
residents.
So
you
can
actually
find
out
about
some
of
the
larger
scale.
Domi
projects
on
engage
pgh
as
well.
B
So
if
you
want,
if
you
want
to
see
more
money
for
street
resurfacing
or
more
money
for
playgrounds,
but
maybe
you
don't
have
a
specific
playground
in
mind,
you
can
still
indicate
that
on
the
form
and
then
also
we
try
to
get
your
feedback
on
the
mayor's
priorities
each
year.
It's
just
a
nice
feedback
loop
back
to
the
administration,
so
they
understand
how
well
their
desires
are
kind
of
matching
up
with
residents.
B
These
survey
responses
themselves,
like
I
said
earlier,
we
review
them
in
our
office.
We
try
to
code
them
in
a
way.
That's
useful
for
departments
and
project
managers.
So,
as
you
can
see,
the
yellow
section
is
kind
of
our
value.
Add
what
we
add
to
the
process.
If
there's
multiple
projects
sometimes
like
in
this
case,
it
could
be
a
complete
street
project,
it
could
be
a
trail
development
project.
We
tagged
them
both
so
that
the
different
project
managers
for
both
of
those
still
get
to
see
this,
and
then
we
also
tag
any
geography.
B
So
in
this
case,
district
6
and
district
7
were
mentioned.
So
we
want
those
council
offices
to
know
that
this
feedback
was
provided,
so
they
have
the
opportunity
to
put
in
a
capital
budget
proposal.
This
is
a
great
example
actually,
because
we
have
a
really
nice
big
multi-year
multi-fun
source,
robust
project
happening
with
allegheny
river.
B
Excuse
me,
allegheny,
river,
green
boulevard,
and
it's
been
great
to
see
the
departments
dig
into
and
ask
questions
and
send
follow-up
comments
to
us
about
the
feedback
that
we've
gotten
from
residents
we've
sent
to
them
and
then
also
to
see
them
turn
into
real
budgeted
projects
in
terms
of
how
the
projects
are
kind
of
organized.
We
try
to
put
them
in
six
different
buckets
within
the
capital
budget.
B
You
can
see
those
six
buckets
represented
here
and
then
each
year
we
try
to
do
a
comparison
of
what
were
the
projects
that
people
asked
for
in
the
survey
and
then
what
are
the
types
of
projects
that
ended
up
in
the
capital
budget?
Usually
we're
pretty
close.
I
think
this
was
a
pretty
solid
year
in
2021.
B
B
B
Of
course,
you
can
always
text
three
one,
one
if
you
see
or
tweet
at
311,
if
you
ever
see
anything
out
in
the
in
the
streets
that
don't
really
look
right
to
you
they're
a
great
resource,
they
have
excellent
staff,
they're,
really
excellent
at
organizing
these
requests
and
sending
them
down
to
the
departments
to
get
addressed.
They
also
have
live
operators
from
7am
to
7pm.
If
you
ever
just
want
to
call
the
number
311,
you
can
leave
a
voicemail.
B
Also,
your
council
budget
office
is
represented
on
this
call
thanks
bill
for
joining.
I
think
mike
joined
as
well.
You
can
reach
out
to
the
council
budget
office.
You
can
reach
out
to
your
council
office
directly
through
the
city's
website.
It
has
each
of
the
contacts
for
each
of
the
nine
different
council
districts.
There's
a
map
on
there
to
figure
out
which
council
district
might
be
yours
and
then
it's
a
really
great
opportunity
to
email.
The
council
office
directly.
Things
really
become
a
strong
proposal
whenever
we're
seeing
those
kind
of
different
engagement
points.
B
Whenever
we're
seeing
comments
from
the
capital
budget
survey,
also
we're
seeing
them
in
311
also,
we
might
be
seeing
them
through
council
feedback
that
they're
getting
whenever
you
pick
up
the
phone
and
call
your
counsel
office
or
you
send
them
an
email
they're,
seeing
kind
of
the
same
trends
that
we
are
and
it
becomes
a
consensus,
that's
a
great
way
to
go.
Additionally,
we
have
been
referenced
a
few
times
the
2022
capital
budget
survey.
You
can
find
that
on
our
engage,
pgh
website
and
then
finally,
there's
a
nice
couple
tools
on
balancing
act.
B
If
you,
google,
balancing
act,
pittsburgh,
there's
a
tax
receipt
which
allows
you
a
tax
receipt
simulator
which
allows
you
to
put
in
your
income.
If
you
own
any
property
you
can
put
in
the
value
of
that
property,
and
it
gives
you
a
model
of
kind
of
an
itemized
receipt
of
where
all
your
specific
tax
dollars
might
be
going
proportionally.
B
So
if
you
wanted
to
know
how
much
of
my
money
is
going
towards
public
safety
versus
mobility
projects,
you
can
put
in
your
your
salary
and
get
a
sense
of
how
those
things
are
kind
of
split
up
between
the
two
budgets
overall,
then
also
within
the
capital
budget
itself,
and
then,
additionally,
we
have
our
capital
budget
simulator,
which
is
a
fun
tool.
It
allows
you
to
kind
of
do
our
job
you
get
to
go
in
with
the
existing
budget
and
move
things
around.
You
can
take
money
from
one
project.
B
Add
it
to
another,
but
also
like
our
job.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
it
all
has
to
balance.
So
it
won't.
Let
you
submit
the
budget
until
you
balance
it,
but
you
can
also
submit
it
with
comments,
and
then
we
review
the
information
you
submit
all
the
pluses
and
minuses
that
you've
done
all
the
comments.
You've
provided
to
specific
portions
of
money
or
specific
projects.
We
share
those
with
the
council
offices
and
the
departments
as
well,
so
those
are
a
great
resource.
B
So
now
we've
reached
the
question
and
answer
session.
Of
course,
we've
got
our
office
office
management
budget.
We
also
have
domi
council
budget
office
is
here
as
well
as
I
referenced.
There's
two
ways:
you
can
ask
a
question:
you
can
use
the
raised
hand
function
or
you
can
also
use
the
q
a
function
at
the
bottom
of
your
screen,
both
of
those
I
believe
from
either
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen.
They're
separate
buttons.
B
We
already
have
one
question
from
barbaros:
I'm
going
to
read
that
now
the
team
from
move
forward
pgh
spoke
with
us
and
actually
I'm
sorry.
The
first
question
got
moved
okay,
barbara
warwick,
here
bart
warwick,
here
from
the
greenfield
community
association,
there's
a
heavily
used
section
of
road
in
my
neighborhood
greenfield
ave
between
haldane
and
second
ave,
where
domi
has
recorded
roughly
25
accidents
since
2015..
B
It's
also
an
extremely
dangerous
section
of
road
for
pedestrians
and
bicyclists.
It
runs
by
a
key
entry
point
for
kids
walking
to
greenfield
elementary
school.
We
would
like
to
see
traffic
calming
measures,
even
simple
ones,
put
in
place
here
to
slow
down
drivers,
speeding
up
and
especially
down
the
hill.
Can
we
ensure?
How
can
we
ensure
this
project
is
included
in
the
upcoming
budget?
B
If
you
notice
karina
rick,
drix
already
answered
from
the
domey
side,
if
there's
anything
additional,
you
want
to
add
feel
free
I'll
say
from
the
capital
side
for
the
end
of
your
project.
How
can
we
end
your
question?
How
can
we
ensure
this
project
is
included
in
the
upcoming
budget,
you're
already
kind
of
doing
it?
You're
coming
to
this
meeting
you're
providing
a
comment
question
that
we're
going
to
record?
B
Obviously,
director
rex
has
heard
it
so
they
understand
it's
a
priority,
but
then
don't
feel
scared
to
reach
out
to
your
counsel
office
as
well.
You
can
email
them.
Let
them
know
it's
a
priority,
also,
as
brendan
referenced
council
in
the
month
of
december,
has
public
hearings
on
all
of
the
different
portions
of
the
budget.
So
you
have
the
opportunity
to
comment,
then
in
support
of
a
project.
That's
something
that
I
think
people
miss
out
on.
B
I
think
people
are
are
much
stronger
at
and
understandably
so
much
stronger
coming
out
for
something
that
they
may
be
afraid
of
or
that
they're
against.
But
I
wish
we
saw
more
people
speaking
out
in
favor
of
the
things
that
they
value
and
they
prioritize
in
their
neighborhoods.
So
don't
don't
feel
like
this.
Is
your
last
chance
keep
keep
the
communication
going
director
rix,
you
gave
a
great
written
answer.
I
didn't
know
if
it's
anything.
D
I
can
add
a
little
bit
more,
so
there's
a
because
barb's
follow-up
was
she
understood
that
the
project
was
taken
off
the
list
not
not
entirely
the
right
categorization?
So
in
2020
and
2021,
we
were
fortunate
to
partner
with
a
group
called
people
for
bikes
who
helped
us
do
sort
of
what
we
would
call
quick,
build
bicycle
projects,
so
these
are
projects
that
we
could
do
relatively
swiftly.
D
They
maybe
didn't
have
a
lot
of
traffic
impacts
associated
with
them
didn't
have
complex
construction
associated
with
them.
They
were
things
that
we
could
do
really
in
rapid
form.
We
were
hopeful
that
greenfield
avenue
would
be
one
of
those,
and
so
greenfield
was
initially
one
of
those
that
we
had
prioritized
to
try
and
get
done.
We
agree
with
you.
It
is
a
really
critical
corridor
for
complete
street
connections
there
when
we
really
got
into
it
with
the
community
did
sort
of
that
asset
condition
inventory.
D
It
is
going
to
require
a
higher
level
of
investment
and
a
higher
level
of
engineering.
To
make
that
work
it
is.
It
is
not
that
greenfield
avenue
is
that
we've
given
up
on
greenfield
avenue.
That
is
patently
not
the
case,
but
it's
that
we're
gonna
have
to
be
a
little
bit
slower
and
more
deliberate
in
figuring
out.
D
So
definitely
avail
yourself
of
that
opportunity.
I
also
was
remiss
in
that.
I
didn't.
I
didn't
realize
that
assistant
director
kim
lucas
is
actually
with
us
also
on
this
panel
and
so
kim
lucas
is
the
director
or
the
the
lead
of
our
policy
planning
and
permitting
bureau,
and
she
actually
oversees
a
lot
of
that.
D
B
D
Right
so
arleigh
is
automated
red
light
enforcement,
which
we
actually
are
looking
at.
It
is
not
that
is
a
statewide
program
that
philadelphia
utilizes.
Pittsburgh
is
looking
at
it
at
certain
locations
where
they
have
the
the
crash
characteristics
where
automated
red
light
might
actually
make
it's
not
we're
not
implementing
it
as
a
as
a
money-making
endeavor
we're
implementing
it
if
we
do
implement
it
as
a
safety
measure,
but
it
does
generate
resources
that
become
redistributed
by
the
state
for
for
grant
resources.
D
In
any
event,
congestion
pricing
is
a
concept
where,
in
order
to
you,
basically
it's
a
user
fee.
So
when
you
drive
in
a
low
occupancy
vehicle,
you
you
experience
congestion,
but
you
also
are
congestion
and
impose
greater
external
costs
to
the
larger
city,
to
manage
that
through
traffic
signals,
greater
wear
and
tear
on
the
road
need
for
it.
You
know
widening
interchanges
and
widening
other
facilities.
D
So,
as
a
user
fee,
congestion
pricing
is
a
concept
that
some
larger
u.s
cities
and
many
global
cities
use
to
actually
charge
an
appropriate
fee
for
the
external
societal
cost
that
that
incurs
they
use,
then
those
resources
to
make
investments
to
make
those
alternate
modes
of
travel
more
possible
and
more
attractive
for
people
to
use.
So
as
a
region
through
spc,
it
has
been
floated
out
there
because
of
the
bridges
and
tunnels
that
we
have.
We
actually
would
be
a
really
great
candidate
for
congestion
pricing
in
this
region.
D
For
obvious
reasons,
there
is
a
lot
of
great
consternation
associated
with
congestion
pricing
as
well.
So
there's
a
lot
of
study
and
a
lot
of
analysis
that
needs
to
go
on
before
that
would
become
a
reality
here.
It
has
been
talked
about.
It
has
not
advanced
beyond
that
conceptual
level.
At
this
point.
B
D
D
So
if
you
have
a
leased
parking
spot
or
if
your
employer
provides
you
parking,
you
don't
pay
that
parking
tax.
You
don't
experience
that
parking
sort
of
impact
fee,
so
the
vast
majority
of
the
parking
in
the
city
is
actually
exempt
from
that
parking
tax
and
exempt
from
the
performance
parking
rates
that
the
pittsburgh
parking
authority
does.
B
B
Okay,
well,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
everybody
that
attended.
If
you
have
any
questions
or
additional
comments,
you
can
email
our
staff
specifically
at
cip,
as
in
you
know,
capital
improvement
program,
cip,
pittsburgh,
pa.gov
and
again,
I
encourage
you
to
go
to
engage
pgh
fill
out
the
survey
and
let
us
know
what
your
priorities
are
feel
free
to
share
it.
On
social
media.
Tell
your
friends
tell
your
neighbors
we'd
love
to
see
a
ton
of
input.
B
Last
year
we
actually
had
some
great
input,
that's
one
of
the
blessings
of
moving
to
all
digital,
so
we
saw
a
huge
increase
in
the
number
of
survey
responses,
so
we're
hoping
for
even
more
growth.
This
year
we
can
have
an
even
more
inclusive
budget
for
2022.,
with
that,
I'm
again
going
to
thank
our
our
imp
team.
Thank
you,
city
channel,
thank
you
to
jim
and
heather
for
for
interpreting.
