From YouTube: 2023 Pittsburgh Capital Budget Forum: Mobility - 5/31/22
Description
From the Office of Management & Budget, this Capital Budget Forum focuses on the Department of Mobility & Infrastructure projects (paving, bridges, ADA ramps, public sidewalks, landslides, stormwater infrastructure, and city steps).
A
Hello
good
evening,
my
name
is
david
hutchinson,
I'm
the
assistant
director
for
capital,
asset
management
with
the
mayor's
office
of
management
and
budget,
we're
here
tonight
to
talk
about
one
of
my
favorite
topics,
which
is
the
2023
capital
budget.
There's
going
to
be
three
virtual
meetings
this
year
on
different
portions
of
the
budget.
This
format
allows
us
to
do
kind
of
a
deeper
dive
on
specific
subjects
and
allow
people
who
are
reviewing
the
meetings
afterwards
on
youtube,
the
chance
to
hone
in
on
things
that
they're
interested
in
as
well.
A
First,
I
want
to
start
off
by
saying
thank
you
to
the
office
of
neighborhood
services,
the
department
of
innovation
and
performance
in
our
asl
interpreters
tonight.
We
really
could
not
make
this
happen
without
your
efforts.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
putting
in
so
much
work
to
get
these
done.
A
couple
quick
notes.
We
have
two
more
of
these
meetings
so
next
wednesday
on
june,
8th
we're
going
to
be
meeting
with
the
urban
redevelopment
authority,
the
department
of
permits
licenses
and
inspections
and
other
city
departments
to
talk
about
economic
development
and
community-based
projects.
A
Also
talk
about
our
community
development
block
grants
a
little
bit
and
then
the
next
day
on
thursday
june
9th
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
recreation
projects,
so
parks,
playgrounds,
ball
fields,
swimming
pools,
all
the
fun
outdoor
stuff,
our
rec
centers,
our
senior
centers
we're
going
to
be
talking.
Those
projects
over
with
the
department
of
public
works
in
city
parks
just
want
to
do
a
quick
accessibility
check
if
anybody's
having
any
trouble.
A
Seeing
the
interpreter
or
or
hearing
the
sound
of
my
voice,
please
chime
in
also,
please
let
me
know
if
there's
any
acronyms
that
can
be
cleared
up,
we
have
a
live
chat
going
and
city
staff
are
monitoring
it.
So
if
there's
anything,
I
I
use
in
a
acronym
for
please
feel
free
to
pop
a
question
in
there.
We
can
get
it
answered.
I
just
want
to
pause
in
case
there's.
Any
accessibility
concerns
at
this
time.
A
Okay,
great
so
tonight
we
have
a
pretty
deep
agenda.
It
seems
short,
but
trust
me
there's
a
lot
to
talk
about
on
each
subject,
we're
going
to
give
you
a
quick
overview
of
the
capital
budget
talking
specifically
about
what's
inside
it
and
also
how
it's
made
then
we're
going
to
hear
from
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
there's
some
really
interesting.
People
have
had
the
luck
to
work
with
over
the
past
few
years
on
the
call
tonight
who
are
going
to
talk
about
their
jobs
and
the
projects
that
they
do
in
your
neighborhoods.
A
Then
we're
going
to
get
into
a
question
and
answer
session,
where
you'll
have
the
opportunity
to
ask
questions
about
transportation,
mobility
projects
and
then
we're
going
to
wrap
up
with
some
other
opportunities
for
input.
We
hope
to
give
you
tools
and
the
resources
that
you
can
really
share
with
your
neighbors
and
your
friends
so
that
their
voice
can
be
heard
in
the
capital
budget
process
as
well.
A
So
when
thinking
about
the
capital
budget,
there's
kind
of
three
main
rules
that
are
in
our
city
code,
the
first
is
that
the
money
needs
to
go
towards
the
design.
The
building
the
restoration,
the
retaining
or
the
purchase
of
a
city
owned
asset-
that's
a
really
crucial
part.
It
needs
to
be
something
that
city
owned.
Also,
the
asset
should
have
a
minimum
value
of
50
dollars
in
a
minimum
useful
life
of
five
years.
We're
gonna
get
into
kind
of
the
gray
areas
with
those
in
just
a
couple
slides.
A
But
if
you're
thinking
about
the
capital
budget
versus
the
operating
budget,
the
capital
budget
is
more
of
the
physical
environment.
It's
it's
infrastructure.
It's
the
built
environment,
it's
streets
and
sidewalks
street
lights.
All
the
things
you
kind
of
see
when
you
leave
your
house,
the
operating
budget
is
things
like
salaries
and
pension
obligations.
A
Our
employee
health
care
office
supplies
some
of
the
smaller
equipment
that
our
staff
use
in
their
day-to-day
operations.
So
in
the
real
world
we
want
to
look
at
examples
specific
to
our
topic
tonight.
So
with
transportation,
there's
a
lot
of
different
tools
in
the
toolbox
when
it
comes
to
traffic
control
and
traffic
calming
on
the
top
row,
we
have
some
of
our
capital
budget
assets.
A
Signalized
intersections.
A
new
set
of
signals
at
an
intersection
can
easily
cost
a
quarter
million
dollars
they're
going
to
last
for
decades.
It's
a
great
capital
asset,
we're
also
doing
some
new
things
like
raised
crosswalks
in
in.
I
think
this
one
was
in
squirrel
hill
that
are
part
of
our
capital
program.
Whenever
we
put
money
into
complete
streets
that
can
go
towards
those
type
of
projects
like
elevated
crosswalks
and
also
bollards
and
paint
for
some
of
our
bike
and
pedestrian
infrastructure
that
can
cost
easily
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
mile.
A
So
those
are
part
of
our
capital
budget
as
well.
On
the
bottom,
we
have
some
really
important
assets
that
just
aren't
part
of
the
capital
program.
Our
sign
shop
does
some
really
amazing
work
day
to
day
I
haven't
been
down
there.
I've
seen
pictures
of
it.
I
need
to
make
a
trip
myself,
but
they
do
an
excellent
job
in
keeping
everybody
in
order
in
a
really
clean,
visual
way
with
their
day-to-day
work,
all
their
supplies
are
paid
for
out
of
the
operating
budget.
Staff
costs
are
too
domi.
A
Also
runs
programs
like
the
pittsburgh
safe
driving
pledge
through
the
operating
budget,
using
staff
costs
and
supply
costs
there,
and
this
is
actually
the
crossing
guard
from
my
neighborhood.
This
is
kathy
gamble
on
the
bottom
right
hand,
corner
great
neighborhood
asset,
kathy's
salary,
I
believe,
is
paid
out
of.
I
know
it's
about
the
operating
budget,
but
I
believe
it
comes
out
of
public
safety.
A
A
A
Also
over
here,
on
the
right
hand,
side
we
have
bog
station
a
lot
of
our
transit
stops
can
be
in
hilly
areas.
There
could
be
a
really
long,
concrete
switchback
that
requires
a
lot
of
engineering
that
could
get
really
really
pricey
and,
of
course,
pittsburgh
classic
the
liberty
tunnels
down
here
on
the
bottom.
That's
definitely
a
major
piece
of
infrastructure.
There's
two
different
ways:
you
can
go
through
that,
I'm
sure
the
closure
is
alone.
The
staffing
for
that
on
a
capital
project
will
be
really
pricey.
A
B
All
right
so
of
the
25
people
who
answered
52,
say
the
liberty,
tunnels.
A
The
short
answer
is,
I
don't
know
these
aren't
city-owned
assets.
This
was
actually
a
trick
question,
but
I
do
agree
with
these.
I
think
that
tunnels
are
definitely
expensive.
It
seems
like
the
higher
and
lower
you
get
from
the
right-of-way.
The
more
expensive
things
get
so
tunnels
would
definitely
be
on
my
list.
The
engineering
required
for
for
new
bridges
also
super
expensive.
A
So
I
think
those
are
both
solid
guesses,
but
there's
a
lot
of
infrastructure
that
you're
interacting
with
every
single
day
that
you
may
even
consider
to
be
part
of
the
fiber
of
the
fabric
of
your
neighborhood's
identity,
that
the
city
doesn't
own.
There's
all
kinds
of
partnerships:
we
have
the
county
owned.
Some
of
our
you
know
most
beautiful
bridges,
especially
connecting
with
the
north
side.
Penndot
owns
a
lot
of
our
major
roadways,
including
east
carson
street,
including
portions
of
butler
street,
in
warrensville
as
well.
A
Boggs
station
is
a
port
authority.
Asset
port
authority
has
an
amazing
set
of
infrastructure
that
they
need
to
take
care
of
in
their
own
budget.
I'm
thankful
that
they
have
their
own
wherewithal
to
do
that,
and
the
liberty
tunnels
also
are
a
well-known
penndot
asset,
there's
actually
a
great
rick
seebeck
piece
on
on
those
people
get
a
chance
to
check
it
out.
A
So
it's
important
to
keep
in
mind
that
capital
projects
can
be
pretty
complicated.
They
can
take
up
multiple
phases,
which
means
multiple
millions
of
dollars
over
multiple
years,
the
staff
with
domain
when
they're
doing
a
project
department,
mobility,
infrastructure
when
they're
doing
a
project
like
reconfiguring
smithfield
street
downtown.
They
take
this
into
consideration.
They
do
really
careful
planning
when
they're
making
capital
budget
proposals.
A
many
capital
projects
have
kind
of
three
basic
phases:
planning,
design
and
construction,
but
some
of
the
more
complicated
projects
actually
have
multiple
sub
phases.
Within
that
you
can
have
three
different
iterations
of
designing
it.
You
know
10
60,
90
drawings.
You
can
do
a
few
different
types
of
planning,
whether
it's
schematic
or
conceptual
in
construction.
Sometimes
it
makes
sense
to
actually
chop
the
project
up
into
discrete
pieces.
Do
the
phases
over
time
so
that
there's
constantly
some
infrastructure
available
to
link
roads
together?
A
Those
are
really
important
considerations
that
domey's
project
staff
go
through
whenever
they're
writing
proposals
to
us
for
the
capital
budget,
though
we're
only
really
legislating
the
next
year.
So
this
snippet
from
the
2022
capital
budget
we're
only
legislating
this
year
in
blue
2022.
That's
all
that
we're
legally
really
putting
our
number
down
for,
but
in
terms
of
best
practice
for
our
office.
A
We
still
want
to
do
planning
for
the
outer
years
to
make
sure
that
we're
understanding
the
type
of
debt
we're
going
to
need
in
the
future
the
type
of
grant
requests
we
want
to
make
in
the
future,
and
our
funding
needs
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
see
projects
all
the
way
through
to
the
finish
line.
We
could
end
up
front
loading
the
project
and
putting
all
the
money
we
need
in
the
very
first
year,
but
there's
a
few
problems
with
that.
A
A
That's
the
ideal
so
that
your
tax
dollars
aren't
sitting
so
they're
constantly
being
put
into
into
use,
and
you
can
see
those
changes
out
in
the
world
so
with
that
we
actually
do
a
six-year
capital
improvement
plan.
This
is
what
the
summary
of
that
from
the
2022
budget
looks
like,
and
what
this
is
is
really
just
the
individual
project
out
of
your
phases
just
kind
of
stacked
on
top
of
each
other.
We
do
some
planning
with
things
that
are
more
placeholder,
because
a
lot
of
projects
not
a
lot
of
projects.
A
Some
projects
only
need
one
year.
Paving
is
really
a
one-year
project.
A
lot
of
our
sidewalk
projects
are
really
just
one
year
projects,
so
those
ones
we
may
not
have
you
know
years
four
five
six
already
planned
out,
but
we
know
we
need
to
be
responsible
and
keep
a
placeholder
there
of
500
000
for
sidewalks
or
of
20
million
dollars
from
paving,
so
that
future
generations
have
the
same
kind
of
quality
of
infrastructure
that
we
have
now.
A
So
that's
some
of
the
planning
that
we
do
whenever
we're
talking
about
the
capital
improvement
plan,
it's
that
kind
of
micro
project
level,
phased
up
into
a
larger
six
year
plan
for
the
entire
city,
quiz
number
two.
So
this
is
a
fun
one
actually
was
lucky
enough
to
participate
in
this
project
in
may
of
2018,
the
department
of
mobility
infrastructure
published
a
citywide
steps
assessment,
including
a
prioritization
of
city
steps
based
on
some
really
crucial
data,
including
the
demographic
information
of
the
people.
A
Nearby
who'd
be
likely
to
use
the
steps,
also,
the
impact
of
the
pedestrian
network
of
having
those
steps
go
offline.
So
if
we
were
to
not
redo
these
steps
and
they
were
to
fail,
what
does
that
walk?
Shed?
Look
like
for
residents
and
commuters,
and
also
proximity
to
schools,
transit
stops
and
other
destinations.
A
A
While
you're
thinking
about
that
I'll,
just
let
you
know
that
there
were
some
really
interesting
kind
of
performance,
curves
and
also
the
materials
that
the
step
planning
project
looked
at.
They
looked
at
four
basic
kind
of
common
materials
that
are
used
in
steps
going
from
really
specific
concrete
to
wood
and
they
found
that
there
was
two
different
types
of
costs:
there's
both
the
initial
installation
costs,
but
also
the
lifetime
cost.
A
So
that
was
some
of
the
other
interesting
work
that
came
out
of
this
plan
and
it's
available
online.
If
you,
basically
just
google
pittsburgh
city
steps
plan,
you
can
check
this
out.
Each
of
the
steps
have
a
ranking
in
us
in
a
prioritization
based
on
the
scoring
for
those
categories
that
I
discussed
a
little
bit
ago.
A
That's
correct,
there's
quite
a
few
different
assets.
We
have
in
a
lot
of
different
neighborhoods
there's
some
neighborhoods.
Obviously,
though,
that
have
more
steps
than
others.
We've
also
seen
that
steps
can
be
a
crucial
part
of
place.
Making
within
neighborhoods
we've
seen
really
great
mosaic
work.
A
Neighborhood
welcoming
signage
placed
on
steps
is
another
way
to
kind
of
activate
them.
I'm
still,
I
think,
there's
a
south
side
step
project
where
they
actually
go
through
a
race
where
they
actually
go
through
multiple
steps.
If
I
haven't
done,
that
will
not
be.
I
need
to
get
on
that
race
so
now
that
you
have
an
idea
of
some
of
the
challenges
we're
facing,
with
keeping
such
a
large
infrastructure
going,
keeping
the
trains
running
on
time
as
it
were.
A
A
A
A
few
different
ways
we'll
talk
about
those
towards
the
end
of
the
end
of
the
the
slide
deck,
but
these
meetings
are
definitely
one
of
those
tools
july
1st
is
the
deadline
for
when
the
departments
and
council
offices
should
have
the
proposals
back
to
us
yeah
in
september.
The
capital
program
facilitation
committee,
which
is
made
up
of
members
of
the
mayor's
office
city
council
budget
office
and
the
controller's
office,
has
the
opportunity
to
submit
scores
in
a
summary
report
of
recommendations
to
the
mayor's
office
for
the
september
budget.
A
The
preliminary
budget
between
september
and
october
there's
a
chance
for
us
to
get
feedback
on
the
preliminary
budget
and
make
some
changes
for
the
kind
of
final
budget
in
november.
That's
part
of
the
mayor's
state
of
the
city
address
on
the
second
tuesday
of
every
november
throughout
december,
council
has
the
opportunity
to
bring
in
different
departments
and
ask
them
questions
about
the
proposals
they
can
and
they're
all
public
meetings,
they're
really
actually
interesting
to
watch.
A
A
So
in
terms
of
the
mayor's
priorities,
you'll
have
the
opportunity
actually
to
go
online
check
out
our
engaged
pgh
page
and
read
more
about
each
one
of
these
individually
they're
in
no
particular
order.
Mayor
gainey
actually
did
a
great
job
of
kind
of
couching
them
in
three
larger
ideas
that
I
think
make
a
lot
of
sense
for
the
needs
of
the
of
the
city.
Right
now
and
again,
these
are
meant
to
inspire
the
department
directors
in
their
selection
of
capital
projects.
A
They
want
to
be
finding
things
that
are
going
to
kind
of
reinforce
what
the
mayor's
vision
is
as
expressing
these
priorities
through
the
proposals
they
submit
to
our
office.
So
what
do
those
proposal
forms?
Look
like
we've
seen
a
few
snippets
already,
but
it's
a
pretty
straightforward
document.
The
first
section
is
really
about
the
money.
We
want
to
understand
what.
C
A
Project
needs
are
going
to
be
over
the
next
six
years,
so
for
2023,
we're
gonna
ask
you
which,
how
much
money
you
need
and
which
kind
of
flavor
of
funding
you
need
and
also
which
phase
you're
in
and
then
you
have
the
opportunity
to
do
that
for
the
outer
ears
as
well
and
show
us
the
full
life
cycle
of
your
project
costs.
A
A
A
It's
a
great
opportunity
for
the
the
departments
to
explain
how
this
project
fits
into
the
mayor's
priorities
and
then
also
we
want
to
understand,
even
if
it's
a
capital
project,
what's
the
operating
budget
impact
going
to
be
on
this,
so,
for
instance,
if
we,
if
we
buy
a
new
piece
of
equipment,
we
also
need
to
pay
for
training
for
employees
to
learn
how
to
use
that
piece
of
equipment
for
adding
lights
to
a
ball
field.
What's
that
going
to
do
to
our
energy
bill?
Those
are
the
kind
of
questions
that
can
be.
A
I'm
sorry
can
be
answered
in
that
third
section,
also
that
capital
program
facilitation
committee-
that's
made
up
of
members
of
the
city
council
office
and
the
mayor's
budget
office
and
the
controller's
office
will
actually
score
the
projects
based
on
criteria
that
are
dictated
by
chapter
218
of
city
code.
So
this
was
the
previous
set
of
scoring
criteria.
We're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
we've
changed
them
recently,
but
they're
meant
to
get
at
a
few
different
things
to
make
sure
that
we're
covering
our
bases
in
terms
of
meeting
federal
mandates
or
state
mandates.
A
We
want
to
see
projects
that
leverage
outside
funding
that
allow
us
to
turn
one
dollar
into
five
dollars
or
into
ten
dollars
with
federal
and
state
matches.
We
also
want
to
understand
how
this
project's
going
to
improve
the
lives
of
actual
you
know
neighbors
and
neighborhoods
out
in
the
city,
and
we
want
to
understand
if
this
is
a
project,
that's
going
to
save
us
money
in
the
long
run
by
allowing
us
to
go.
A
This
will
be
our
third
and
final
quiz
dave.
If
you
want
to
open
it,
district
one
has,
and
these
are
not
exact
numbers,
even
though
they
look
exact.
I
did
some
cheating
when
I
was
looking
at
our
assets
earlier
today,
district
one
has
roughly
7
700
000
linear
feet
of
street.
A
How
many
linear
feet
of
street?
Do
you
think
there
are
in
district
four
I'll
help
you
out
a
little
bit
with
the
district
map?
So
what
we're
talking
about
is
district.
One
is
up
here
in
red,
covers
a
lot
of
the
north
side,
there's
over
seven
hundred
thousand
linear
feet
of
street
in
this
red
section.
But
what
about
down
here
in
this
purple
section
district?
Four!
What
do
you
think
the
linear
foot
is
there
for
theirs.
A
And
in
terms
of
paving,
I
don't
know
what
the
number
is
now,
I'm
a
few
years
behind,
but
last
I
heard
it
was
over
a
quarter
million
dollars
per
mile
to
redo
by
two
minutes,
paving
concrete's
more
expensive,
brick.
I
don't
know
about,
I
assume
it's
more
expensive
because
it
seems
more
intricate
but
I'll
defer
to
the
department
of
mobility
infrastructure,
people
they're
much
more
up
to
date
on
those
numbers,
but
I
do
want
to
shout
out
our
our
paving
team.
A
They
do
an
excellent
job
of
both
publicizing
kind
of
where
they're
going
to
be,
and
they
really
squeeze
every
foot
they
can
out
of
the
budget,
they're
constantly
spending
down
money
in
a
really
efficient
way
and
looking
for
more
money.
So
whenever
we
find
money
we
can
recycle
towards
the
end
of
the
end
of
the
summer.
We
try
to
make
sure
that
they're
covered
to
get
in
those
last
few
miles
paving
is
something
that
really
impacts
all
of
our
lives.
A
Even
if
you
don't
leave
your
house
a
lot
or
don't
drive,
you
still
rely
on
delivery.
You
still
want
your
neighbors
to
be
able
to
drive
on
safe
streets.
They're
also
the
bedrock
for
things
like
traffic
calming.
You
can't
only
have
traffic
calming
with
a
bunch
of
potholes,
although
some
people
consider
puddles
to
be
traffic
calming.
So
it's
just
important
to
think
about
how
mobility
can
impact
somebody's
day-to-day
life
and
how
paving
can
be
an
expression
of
just
making
sure
that
we're
taking
care
of
people
david.
You
have
any
other
results.
A
So
these
are
all
kind
of
again
semi-real
numbers
from
different
districts
throughout
the
city.
So
district
four,
this
purple
section
has
you
know,
maybe
a
fifth,
maybe
a
quarter.
It's
answer
d
is
the
correct
answer
of
the
linear
feet
of
roadway
that
district
one
does,
even
though
they
look
pretty
close
in
terms
of
total
landmass,
there's
just
different
needs.
Every
district
has
a
different
set
of
needs.
You'll
see
this
too,
with
district
8
in
other
districts
in
terms
of
pools
or
senior
rec
centers
things
like
that.
A
There's
just
different
needs
for
different
neighborhoods,
and
so,
whenever
you
see
something
that's
equally
distributed
across
all
districts,
just
know
that
there's
maybe
some
politics
afoot,
but
we
all
have
unique
needs
and
that's
part
of
the
capital
budget
process.
It's
understanding
what
different
neighborhoods
need.
A
So
we're
going
to
talk
to
domi
in
just
a
little
bit,
though
the
opportunity
to
talk
through
some
of
the
great
work
that
they're
doing
out
in
the
world.
It's
a
lot.
They've
got
a
lot
of
staff.
They've
got
a
lot
of
projects,
I'm
always
impressed
with
how
director
lucas
kind
of
keeps
everything
together,
but
first.
A
About
some
quick
changes
we
made
to
the
capital
budget
process
this
year
so
again
on
the
left-hand
side.
Are
the
scoring
criteria
for
the
capital
budget
proposals
that
we're
going
to
review
this
year
for
2023's
capital
budget?
We
just
updated
code
a
few
few
weeks
ago,
now,
a
few
months
ago
now
to
do
two
major
things.
One
was
to
kind
of
clean
up
some
of
the
language
just
to
make
it
more
consistent
in
terms
of
sentence
structure,
but
the
other
was
to
introduce
two
things
that
I
think
are
really
important.
A
One
is
to
add
this
new
criteria.
This
third
one
down
project,
has
a
clear
plan
for
execution,
including
site
control,
project
timeline,
recruitment
strategy
and
professional
cost
estimate.
We've
just
found
that
over
the
years,
a
lot
of
projects
who
were
not
kind
of
in
good
shape
with
the
proposal
process
process
had
had
a
hard
time
getting
in
shape.
As
time
went
on.
So
we
found
that
one
key
to
success
is
making
sure
that
the
work
is
being
done
on
the
front
end.
A
So
we
fully
understand
what
the
real
world
impacts
going
to
be,
how
this
project's
going
to
play
out
with
an
eight
month,
design
period
and
16
months
of
construction,
and
what
does
weather
look
like
in
december?
Can
we
count
those
months?
No,
we
shouldn't
that
that
sort
of
conversation
is
really
important
to
the
success
of
the
project.
So
we
want
to
start
counting
for
that
in
our
scoring
of
the
projects
and
then
the
last
one
was
just
updating
language.
A
We
are
an
entitlement
community
for
the
community
development
block
grants
from
the
department
of
housing
and
urban
development.
We'll
talk
more
about
those
next
wednesday
again
on
june
8th,
but
it's
not
really
keeping
pace
with
inflation.
It's
not
keeping
pace
with
need.
We
need
to
be
more
aggressive
and
rely
on
money
in
addition
to
those
cdbg
dollars
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
our
our
residents
of
lower
and
moderate
incomes,
another
leg
up
a
chance
to
really
grow
and
be
a
part
of
pittsburgh's
future.
So
these
are
two
changes
that
we're
really
excited
about.
A
E
And
dave
you
did
such
a
great
job.
I'm
super
impressed.
The
whole
domey
exec
team
is
online
and
we're
chatting
about
our
answers
to
your
questions,
and
so
we
love
it
and
by
the
way
for
anybody
in
the
audience
I
got
100
on
those
answers.
Please
contact
me.
We
are
always
hiring
and
we
would
love
to
have
you
on
board.
E
So
my
name
is
kim
lucas.
I'm
the
director
for
the
city's
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
dave
did
a
great
job
talking
a
bit
about
what
our
department
does
and
the
type
of
projects
we
do
and
how
we
engage
with
the
budget.
I'm
going
to
go
into
just
a
little
bit
more
detail
about
the
different
types
of
projects
we
have
and
a
little
bit
behind
our
process
for
how
we
identify
projects
for
capital,
budget
requests
and
then
at
the
end.
I
am
joined
right
now
by
some
of
my
team
members.
E
Our
chief
engineer,
eric
setzler,
is
on
the
line
mike
mallock,
our
acting
municipal
municipal
traffic
engineer,
who
is
also
our
signals
engineer,
is
on
the
line.
Jeff
skelligen,
my
deputy
director
and
evan
gross,
our
fiscal
and
contracting
supervisor
is
available.
So
if
you
have
questions
about
any
specific
projects
or
anything
that
I
mentioned,
the
team
is
available
to
answer
some
of
those
questions,
and
I
know
that
there
was
a
comment
earlier
about
the
cost
comparison
between
concrete
and
asphalt
and
at
this
time
it's
at
least
10
10
times
as
expensive.
E
When
you
compare
mile
to
mile
or
foot
foot
for
concrete
repairs
as
it
is
to
do
so
with
that,
I'm
going
to
quickly
go
over
our
department's
mission,
which
is
we're
here
to
provide
the
physical
mobility
necessary
to
support
the
social
and
economic
mobility
of
the
residents
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
You
know,
as
dave
mentioned.
Even
if
you
don't
leave
your
home,
you
are
consuming
the
services
of
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure.
E
We
are
the
one
department
where,
as
soon
as
you
physically
enter
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
you're
going
to
consume
our
services,
whether
it's
you're
using
our
roadways
or
you're,
going
through
signalized,
intersections
or
you're,
benefiting
from
street
lights
or
perhaps
you're
just
benefiting
from
utilities
that
are
running
through
our
right-of-way.
That
we
give
permits
to
and
inspect
you
are
consuming
our
services,
so
we
are
a
department
that
is
a
hundred
people
strong
and
has
a
very,
very
diverse
portfolio.
E
E
We
want
to
make
sure
that
all
residents,
regardless
of
where
they
live,
have
access
to
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables
within
20
minutes
travel
time
of
their
home,
and
that
means
even
without
access
to
a
private
automobile.
If
you're
taking
public
transit,
we
want
you
to
be
able
to
meet
your
basic
needs
within
20
minutes
travel
time
from
home.
Our
third
goal
has
to
do
with
very
short
trips.
E
We
know
that
when
people
are
able
and
choose
to
take
short
trips
by
walking
and
banking
and
public
transportation,
instead
of
by
automobile,
that
they
are
reducing
the
congestion
on
our
streets,
they're,
reducing
the
air
quality
issues
that
we
have
and
they're
improving
their
public
health,
our
public
health,
their
individual
health
and
probably
having
a
good
time.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
the
facilities
so
that
people
can
safely
choose
to
to
walk
or
bike
where
they
need
to
go.
Our
fourth
goal
has
to
do
with
affordability.
E
We
know
that
housing
costs
are
rising.
We
know
that
energy
costs
have
risen
and
we
have
a
goal
that
the
combined
costs
of
energy,
housing
and
transportation
don't
exceed
45
of
any
household's
income.
Regardless
of
what
that
income
level
is,
we
can
only
influence
the
transportation
element
of
that.
So
what
that
means
is
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
provide
access,
safe
access
to
affordable
modes
of
transportation
like
walking
and
biking
and
getting
around
without
your
car.
E
And
finally,
we
want
our
streets
to
reflect
the
values
and
pride
of
our
city,
so
we
pursue
these
goals
through
a
variety
of
program,
types,
everything
from
the
physical
infrastructure
which
I'm
going
to
talk
more
about
tonight
to
planning
and
mobility
services
and
making
sure
that
opportunities
are
available
for
people,
regardless
of
how
they
choose
to
travel,
our
city
and
for
a
city
where
20
of
our
residents
don't
have
access
to
cars.
It's
incredibly
important
that
we
are
considering
all
residents,
especially
our
most
vulnerable
residents,
and
making
sure
that
they
are
benefiting
from
our
programs.
E
So
the
first
element
of
our
department
that
I'm
going
to
talk
about
are
operations
and
our
assets
in
the
quiz
that
you
just
took.
You
heard
that
we
had
over
800
sets
of
public
steps.
We
have
150
city
owned
and
maintained
bridges.
We
have
over
a
thousand
miles
of
roadways
that
we
maintain
600
intersections
of
those
over
600
of
those
intersections
are
signalized,
which
means
we're
maintaining
advanced
signal
technology.
E
We
have
40
000
street
lights.
There
are
so
many
elements
in
the
public
space
that
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
manages
that
a
lot
of
folks
don't
realize,
are
within
the
purview,
our
department
and
those
are
the
types
of
elements
that
we
proactively
plan
to
keep
in
a
state
of
good
repair.
E
So
in
our
department
we
evaluate
project
ideas
based
on
a
number
of
criteria,
that
criteria,
depending
on
the
type
of
project
or
program
that
we're
seeking
funding
for,
might
have
to
do
with
the
condition
of
the
asset.
If
we're
talking
about
bridges,
if
we're
talking
about
our
roadways,
then
we
take
into
consideration
what
condition
those
assets
are
in
when
we're
talking
about
a
planning
study,
we
have
other
elements
that
we're
using
to
compare
so
for
our
first
asset
type,
which
is
bridges
and
retaining
walls.
E
You
know
these
are
obviously
very
visible
and
very
important
elements
to
our
infrastructure.
We
evaluate
where
our
critical
safety
upgrades
are
most
needed.
We
have
inspection
reports
for
every
single
bridge
that
we
own
and
maintain,
and
we
take
that
data
and
we
prioritize
where
the
investment
is
needed.
We
don't
just
you
know,
because
we
have
limited
resources
and
we
have
to
be
strategic.
E
We
also
take
a
look
at
the
return
on
investment
things
that
will
prolong
the
life
of
that
asset
and
its
use,
and
whether
or
not
there
are
redundancies
in
the
route
of
where
that
element
is
for
planning
and
mobility.
We
take
a
look
at
a
lot
of
community
input.
We
look
at
where
we
have
received
311
requests.
E
We
look
at
different
safety
data
that
we
have
available
to
us
and
mobility
data,
we're
able
to
access
cell
phone
pings
so
that
we
know
when
and
where
and
how
people
are
traveling
in
our
city
and
that
can
help
us
identify
places
where
there
are
a
lot
of
people
or
where
there's
a
lot
of
need.
We
look
at
things
like
access
to
public
transportation
and
where
we
have
major
freight
corridors.
E
E
So
things
like
schools,
access
to
libraries
and
religious
institutions,
all
of
those
sorts
of
elements
get
awake
in
when
we're
identifying
different
mobility
connections
and
what
their
relative
importance
is
to
our
network
and
also
in
identifying
vulnerable
communities
that
need
more
investment
for
traffic
calming,
which
is
one
of
our
most
popular
programs.
That
started
a
few
years
ago.
We
start
with
stakeholder
input.
I
believe.
Last
year
we
had
received
over
700
applications
and
requests
for
domi
to
take
a
look
at
their
the
traffic
safety
on
a
neighborhood
street.
E
We
have
different
criteria
that
we
use
to
evaluate
whether
or
not
a
street
is
eligible
for
a
traffic
calming
project
it
has
to
be.
You
know
a
lower
order
street
like
a
residential
street
within
certain
volume
criteria,
and
it
has
to
have
speeds
that
when
we
collect
the
data
on
the
speeds
that
demonstrate
that
there
is
a
speeding
problem,
we,
as
I
mentioned,
received-
I
think
over
700
applications
last
year,
and
we
were
able
to
do
about
a
dozen
projects.
E
We're
working
right
now
to
stand
up
a
website
with
better
information
on
the
evaluation
criteria
and
also
a
map
of
all
the
places
that
we've
received.
These
requests,
because
we
know
so
often
we'll
receive
duplicate
requests
because
people
don't
realize
their
neighbors
may
have
already
submitted
their
requests.
And
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that,
by
providing
even
better
information
that
our
residents
have
the
information,
they
need
to
make
informed
decisions
with
our
traffic
safety
program,
which
expands
a
bit
beyond
a
traffic
calming
program.
E
We
recently
last
year
released
our
pedestrian
safety
action
plan,
which
was
using
data
and
working
with
the
federal
highway
administration
to
identify
high
need
and
high-risk
corridors
for
more
evolved
and
involved
traffic
safety
programs,
so
that
can
include
signal
upgrades
that
can
include
crosswalks
acne
food
sidewalk
gap,
filling
or
any
other
tool
from
our
tool.
Kit,
and,
as
I
just
mentioned
signal
upgrades,
are
one
of
the
ways
that
we
are
improving,
not
only
the
safety
of
our
streets
but
the
operational
efficiency
so
that
we
improve
our
opportunities
to
control
and
to
manage
our
signals
remotely.
E
You
know
when
there's
a
major
event
like
an
emergency
or
a
major
event
like
a
ballgame.
There's,
there's
sometimes
needs
to
change
how
our
singles
are
operating.
There
are
things
like
transit
signal
priority
that
will
help
buses
get
through
signals
when
they
need
to
or
emergency
vehicles,
and
so
when
we
talk
about
upgrading
signals,
it's
not
always
just
a
one-for-one
replacement
of
red,
yellow
green,
a
lot
of
times,
there's
a
lot
of
technology
behind
the
scenes
that
you're
not
seeing
but
that
are
making
our
streets
safer
and
and
to
work
better.
E
Trails
again,
one
of
our
most
beautiful
assets
in
our
city
is
our
miles
and
miles
of
beautiful
trails,
so
not
necessarily
talking
about
walking
trails
inside
of
a
park.
But
these
are
those
trails
that
you
see
along
the
rivers
or
other
off-street
facilities
that
accommodate
bicycles
and
pedestrians
and
and
are
often
considered
the
most
comfortable
way
for
people
to
get
around
without
their
cars.
E
Flood
control
so
so
often
the
the
projects
and
the
calls
that
we
get
with
citizens
concerns
have
to
do
with
water.
So,
even
though
we
are
not
a
water
authority,
because
the
water
has
an
impact
on
our
public
right-of-way,
which
we
are
responsible
for
a
lot
of
our
projects
have
to
do
with
water
mitigation.
E
We
prioritize
these
projects
based
on
public
input
and
the
feasibility
and
the
cost
effectiveness,
and
whenever
possible
we
coordinate
and
collaborate
with
other
entities.
For
example,
we
do
collaborate
with
pws
pwsa,
the
pittsburgh
water
and
sewer
authority
in
order
to
cost
share
on
projects.
Sometimes
they
have
a
project
to
do
flood
mitigation
and
we
identify
opportunities
to
build
a
trail.
E
You
know
two
cuts
or
one
cut
for
two
projects
and
so
at
every
turn,
we're
coordinating
with
other
entities
to
make
sure
that
our
resources
are
being
spent
as
effectively
and
efficiently
as
possible
steps
investments.
So
you
heard
dave
talk
about
our
steps
plan
that
identified
and
prioritized
our
steps
over
800
sets
of
them
based
on
their
importance
to
the
pedestrian
network.
We
are
fortunate
to
have
received
a
decent
amount
of
federal
funding
recently.
E
To
do
major
step
rehabilitation
projects
and
we
have
more
that
we
are
hoping
to
receive,
because
we
know
that
these
are
not
only
critical
connections
to
our
safe
network
for
pedestrians
to
get
around.
We
know
that
they're
part
of
the
pride
of
the
city,
as
the
former
director
ricks
used
to
say
walking,
is
in
pittsburgh's
dna
and
part
of
the
reason
that
it's
there
are.
The
steps.
E
E
We
again
coordinate
closely
with
the
utility
providers
within
the
city,
as
they
are
the
number
one
entities
that
have
to
often
dig
into
our
streets
in
order
to
perform
work
so
that
we're
not
resurfacing
a
street
and
then
having
a
utility
company
come
in
right
behind
us
to
tear
it
up.
Now
there
are
times
where
there
are
emergencies
where
on
restored
resurfaced
streets,
the
utility
company
has
a
water
main
break,
for
example,
and
then
you
see
the
street
get
torn
up
again,
but,
to
the
greatest
extent
possible.
E
We're
preventing
that
by
sharing
our
list
with
those
companies
in
advance
and
having
them
share
their
list
with
us
so
that
we
can
plan
around
it.
I
believe
this
year
we
were
able
to
pay
just
under
50
miles
of
street,
maybe
between
maybe
closer
to
40,
and,
as
you
heard
earlier,
we
have
over
a
thousand
miles
of
roadway
that
we
maintain
so
on
an
annual
basis.
Our
paving
team
does
an
amazing
job
stretching
that
budget,
but
from
a
shared
numbers
and
resources
standpoint.
E
E
I
believe
this
year
we
have
about
a
million
dollars
in
emergency
mitigation
efforts
somewhere
between
500
and
a
million
in
various
capital
budget
buckets
and
in
one
weekend
a
few
weekends
ago,
when
we
had
lots
of
rain,
we
had
over
300
000
worth
of
cleanup
activity
alone,
so
that
money
is
critical
and
it's
one
of
the
more
difficult
programs
to
budget
for
because
it's
so
dependent
literally
on
the
weather.
We
know
where
the
steep
slopes
are.
E
We
know
where
there
are
areas
that
are
high
risk,
but
we
don't
always
know
exactly
where
there
are
going
to
be
issues,
and
so
we
do
our
best
to
predict
and
to
do
preventative
projects
when
whenever
possible.
But
this
is
one
of
those
buckets
that's
going
to
have
to
keep
we're
going
to
have
to
keep
in
our
budget
and
we
have
to
make
hard
decisions
sometimes
about
where
to
spend
our
limited
dollars
and
federal
and
state
funded
projects.
E
So
I
believe
I
mentioned
that
domi
is
the
majority
of
the
city's
capital
budget
and
right
now
we
have
around
150
million
dollars
worth
of
capital
projects
that
we're
managing.
E
We
in
2022
have
been
able
to
leverage
more
than
a
one-to-one
ratio
so
that
for
every
dollar
of
city
money
that
has
gone
into
our
programs,
we've
received
more
than
one
dollar
of
external
funding,
often
from
federal
and
state
sources.
For
those
projects
for
bridges,
for
example,
there's
often
a
five
percent
local
match
for
those
multi-million
dollar
projects
and
for
different
types
of
projects.
There
are
different
match
percentages
that
that
capital
budget
resource
goes
towards.
E
There
are
programs
such
as
cmac,
which
is
the
congestion
mitigation
air
quality
program
that
we've
been
able
to
use
in
the
past,
to
not
only
fund
programs
and
projects,
but
also
staffing,
our
safe
routes
to
school
coordinator.
Our
very
first
one
that
joined
the
department
about
two
and
a
half
years
ago
was
initially
funded
using
transportation,
alternatives,
money
and
we
right
now
are
hiring
for
a
transportation
demand
management
coordinator,
whose
salary
for
two
years
will
be
paid
by.
E
E
Finally,
I'm
going
to
talk
a
tiny
bit
about
our
plans,
so
you
heard
dave
mentioned
that
we
have
to
be
very,
very
strategic
with
the
money
that
we're
pursuing
and
with
the
projects
that
we
request.
We
have
a
number
of
planning
efforts
that
we've
recently
published
that
help
us
prioritize
which
projects
to
pursue.
E
This
is
a
slide
of
our
2017
vision
plan.
We
published
last
year
our
50-year
vision
plan
that
talks
about
making
connections
within
our
city
all
the
way
from
the
neighborhood
to
neighborhood
scale
up
to
the
pittsburgh
to
the
globe
scale,
because
we
know
that
to
thrive
as
a
city
and
to
have
and
continue
to
grow
and
expand
and
have
a
strong
economic
foundation
that
we
need
to
have
connections
not
only
within
the
city
but
to
other
places,
and
so
this
plan.
E
The
pedestrian
safety
action
plan.
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
this
earlier.
This
has
identified
high
priority
in
high
risk
areas
based
on
safety,
data
and
utilization
and
things
like
transit
routes
to
so
that
we
know
when
we're
doing
safety
studies
where
the
next
ones
are.
We've
got
a
list
now
and
it's
in
our
peace
app.
So
I
encourage
you
to
take
a
look
at
that.
E
The
strip
district
mobility
plan
is
an
example
of
a
neighborhood
plan
that
domey
recently
wrapped
up.
That
engaged
with
the
community
took
a
look
at
things
like
parking
demand
and
supply
by
connections
any
other
sidewalk
and
safety
concerns
that
might
might
be
there
and
laid
out
a
blueprint
for
where
we
need
to
go
in
the
future
and
little
by
little
on
an
annual
basis.
E
A
So
the
first
question
was:
will
today's
session
be
recorded
and
shared?
Yes,
there's
a
few
ways:
it
gets
shared
the
first
one
that
I
use
most
often
is
the
city's
youtube
channel.
It's
on
just
the
main
youtube
site.
You
can
always
search
for
city
channel
pittsburgh.
Also
they
do
some
replays
unpredictable
times
on
on
the
cable
channels
themselves.
I've
gotten
those
woken
up
to
those
text.
Messages
from
3
am,
if
you're
on
my
tv,
I'm
not
sure
why.
So
I
know
they
do
them
both
ways,
but
I
usually
use
the
youtube
channel.
A
As
my
first
resource
john
asks,
a
great
question:
where
does
maintenance
fit
into
the
question
that
fit
into
the
equation?
Patrick
cornell
is
in
charge
of
the
operating
budget,
so
pat's
on
the
panel
tonight
as
well.
They're
going
to
have
an
operating
budget
meeting
coming
up
pretty
soon
so
be
sure
to
stick
around
for
that.
We're
going
to
talk
about
the
engage
page
where
you
can
find
out
more
information
about
the
operating
budget
meeting
as
well
so
stick
around
for
that
one
it'll
be
offered.
I.
E
Also,
add
to
that
real
quick
dave
that
a
number
of
the
projects
that
domi
undertakes
are
rehabilitation
of
these
assets
and
major
repairs.
So
typical
maintenance,
like
washing
our
bridges,
may
not
qualify
for
capital
funding,
but
a
lot
of
the
work
that
work
that
we
do
on
those
major
assets
could
be
considered
maintenance
type
activities,
but
because
of
the
the
scope
of
those
projects
and
the
dollar
figure
and
the
prolonging
of
those
assets
for
more
than
five
years.
They
count
within
the
capital
expenditures.
A
I
thought
of
domi
last
night
when
I
was
running
under
the
40th
street
bridge,
and
I
saw
some
scuppers,
which
I
don't
know.
If
I'm
getting
the
nomenclature
right
but
they're,
I
understand
them
to
be
kind
of
the
way
water
gets.
You
know
pumped
out
out
of
out
of
a
bridge
surface
down
to
the
ground
and
like
tubes,
that
come
out
of
the
bottom.
Maybe
the
downspouts
got
a
different
name,
but
every
time
I
run
by
a
scupper,
I
think,
of
domi,
because
maintenance
is
really
important.
A
Like
kim
said,
it
can
increase
the
useful
life
of
an
asset,
and
you
know
pennies
on
the
dollar
compared
to
waiting
for
things
to
get
really
bad
and
having
to
do
a
capital
project.
Probably
sooner
than
you'd
like
to
hey
don
jackson,
good,
to
see
you
again,
steps
on
the
east
end
patrick
gave
a
great
resource
for
that.
If
you
want
to
see
any
of
the
steps
within
the
city
there's
a
website,
pittsburghpa.gov
citysteps
that
has
all
of
the
steps
in
our
are
not
envelope.
A
You
can
check
out
the
assessment
in
terms
of
that
scoring
criteria
that
we
talked
about
earlier
and
see
a
bunch
of
different
connections
in
your
neighborhood.
You
may
not
know
about
brian
thanks
for
calling
out
that
acronym,
so
brian
asks
what
does
cpfc
stand
for.
It
stands
for
capital
program
facilitation
committee
and
that's
the
group.
That's
made
up
again
of
the
mayor's
office
management
and
budget.
There's
two
members
from
that.
A
There's
two
members
from
city
council's
budget
office
and
then
there's
a
fifth
member
from
the
mayor
from
the
mayor's
own
from
the
controller's
office
and
the
five
of
us
get
together
and
review
and
score
all
the
capital
budget
proposals
for
the
next
year.
We
make
formal
recommendations
to
the
mayor
in
terms
of
what
to
include
in
the
budget.
The
mayor,
of
course,
can
can
follow
those
recommendations
as
much
as
they
want.
We,
we
try
to
publish
the
recommendations
in
the
back
of
the
budget,
though
just
for
some
added
transparency.
A
If
anybody
was
wondering
how
projects
scored,
you
can
always
check
out
the
back
of
like
the
2022
capital
budget
hasn't,
has
it
as
an
appendix
you
can
see
all
the
projects
that
were
submitted
and
how
they
scored?
Brian
also
asked
about
the
source
that
I
was
referencing
earlier,
that
inspired
the
capital
program
facilitation
committee
criteria.
It
is
called
chapter
218.
A
brendan
gave
a
great
note
on
that.
The
best
way
to
do
it
is
is
the
way
we
do
it,
which
is
using
the
public,
the
public
tool
we
go
to
munico.com.
You
can
search
for.
Actually,
I
usually
just
google
munich
pittsburgh
and
it
takes
me
right
to
the
pittsburgh
specific
site
and
then
in
there
I
just
type
in
218,
and
it
gets
me
to
to
the
chapter-
that's
really
relevant
to
my
job.
A
It
dictates
a
lot
of
what
we
do
so
yeah
that
was
chapter
218,
which
you
can
find
on
pittsburgh's
munico
website
ryan
also
asked
about
about
the
process
of
updating
the
capital
program,
facilitation
criteria
who
oversaw
the
amendments,
and
what
was
the
process
for
updating
it?
So
in
terms
of
who
oversaw
it,
it
came
out
of
our
office,
the
office
of
management
and
budget.
A
It
were
things
that
we've
noticed
over
the
years,
so
I
actually
joined
the
city
coming
up
on
almost
exactly
seven
years,
and
I
think
next
week
or
the
week
after
it'll
be
seven
years
on
the
nose.
I
my
first
day
with
the
city,
was
coming
to
one
of
these
meetings
actually
to
see
how
public
feedback
worked
for
capital
capital
program.
We've
had
some
really
great
successes
from
the
changes
that
were
first
established
in
chapter
218
back
in
2014
2015.
A
There
were
some
council
members
who
used
chapter
218
to
help
get
us
out
of
some
financial
distress
we
were
under
with
the
state.
It
became
a
great
kind
of
north
star
for
us
to
follow
in
terms
of
developing
the
capital
budget,
but
after
being
here
for
seven
years,
we
just
kind
of
realized
that
there
are
some
tweaks
we
wanted
to
make
to
it.
So
we
talked
to
the
mayor's
office.
We
talked
to
council
budget
office.
A
We
talked
to
the
finance
chair
of
council,
who
we
communicate
with
on
legislation
and
workshops.
Some
ideas
came
to
a
consensus
on
language,
and
then
we
put
it
forward
as
an
as
an
ordinance.
I
don't
get
to
write
those
often
usually
write
resolutions,
but
changes
to
a
code
are
an
ordinance,
so
we
wrote
an
ordinance
to
change
city
code
and
there
were
opportunities
for
public
comment
and
council
members
had
the
opportunity
to
ask
us
questions
like
they
would
in
the
other
piece
of
legislation
in
a
past
a
few
weeks
ago.
A
So
you
can
always
find
that
on
the
legistar
website
for
the
city
council,
that's
where
I
look
up
all
the
legislation
too
kim.
You
probably
know
this
one
better
than
I
do.
The
question
was:
what
is
an
mpo?
I
feel
like
I've
heard
of
that
in
some
county
meetings,
but
you
you
can
answer
that
again.
E
Yeah,
so
an
mpo
sorry
for
dropping
some
lingo.
There
is
a
metropolitan
planning
organization,
so
ours
is
a
southwestern
pennsylvania,
commission
also
known
as
spc.
So
that
might
be
an
acronym
that
people
are
more
familiar
with
and
they
help
they
do
a
lot.
They
they
help
dole
out
funding
federal
funding,
but
they
also
do
they
undertake
some
of
their
own
planning
studies
and
safety
projects
as
well.
E
So
they
really
convene
the
region
of
which
city
of
pittsburgh
is
one
member
and
look
at
the
bigger
picture
of
how
different
elements
can
impact
people
outside
of
these
municipal
boundaries.
A
Yeah,
the
southwestern
pennsylvania
commission
meetings
are
really
interesting,
at
least
to
me
they're
they're,
fun.
You
get
to
see,
there's
11
counties
with
wildly
different
needs.
I
mean
green
county
compared
to
pittsburgh
is
just
it's
a
different
flavor
all
together.
So
it's
really
interesting
to
see
how
infrastructure
is
prioritized
in
different
places
and
just
kind
of
culturally
how
people
interact
with
infrastructure
differently
to
the
different
counties.
A
Debra
knox
asked
an
interesting
question
too
kim
you
might
be
better
to
answer.
The
new
traffic
circles
can
be
difficult
to
maneuver
for
blind
visually
impaired
or
wheelchair
walker
users.
Have
you
addressed
this.
E
So
when
we
were
undertaking
the
traffic
circles
as
part,
the
mini
traffic
circles
as
part
of
our
traffic
calming
program
and
our
move
forward
program,
we
engaged
with
the
city
county
task
force
on
disabilities
and
one
of
the
changes
that
we
two
of
the
the
elements
that
we
implemented
to
specifically
help
address.
E
This
concern
was
improving
the
crosswalks
at
these
traffic
circles
and
making
sure
that
they
were
high
visibility
and
that
the
traction
of
the
the
material
thermoplastic
that
was
used
was
high
so
that
there
wasn't
a
slipping
issue
and
we
also,
even
though
it
might
be
something
that
we
modify
in
the
future,
because
it's
not
according
to
standard
convention.
But
we
left
the
stop
signs
in
place
at
these
intersections,
typically
with
traffic
circles.
E
The
circle
itself
is
what
manages
the
sort
of
movement
through
the
intersection,
but
as
a
concession
to
the
communities
and
to
help
transition
communities
into
how
to
use
traffic
circles,
because
these
were
the
first
mini
circles
that
pittsburgh
had
ever
done.
We
left
stock
signs
in
place.
A
A
Yeah
a
lot
of
nice
flowers
in
theirs
too.
So
angela
asks
since
my
street
can't
have
traffic
because
it's
an
emergency
route
can
it
be
considered
for
traffic
safety.
E
So
we
actually
do
have
traffic
calming
projects
on
depending
on
what
emergency
route
we're
talking
about.
We
do
have
traffic
farming
projects
on
streets
that
emergency
vehicles
use
as
part
of
accessing
calls,
and
things
of
that
nature
we
this
year,
are
going
to
utilize
speed.
E
Are
we
at
speed
cushions
now
mike?
I
we've
gone
through
the
evolution
from
speed
bump
through
humps
through
cushions
to
tables,
and
that
is
because
we
want
we've
been
working
and
engaging
with
our
emergency
service
professionals
and
and
learning
from
them
what
works
best
for
their
vehicles
mike,
I
see
you're
there
if
you
wanted
to
add
anything
about
that.
Mike
is
our
acting
municipal
traffic
engineer.
C
Yeah
we
are,
we
are
quickly
diversifying
our
traffic
calming
suite
of
techniques.
Traffic
cushions,
allow
emergency
vehicles
to
traverse
through
two
grooves
in
the
speed
humps
that
are
sets
for
like
a
wider
axe
like
a
vehicle
that
has
a
wheel,
spacing
that
wouldn't
be
a
passenger
vehicle.
C
We're
also
looking
to
raise
crosswalks
as
in
putting
a
pedestrian
crossing
facility
on
top
of
a
raised
features
that
way
you
have
calming
at
the
same
location,
we
were
trying
to
cross
pedestrians.
A
lot
of
these
saying
stuff
happening.
A
F
Hi
this
is
ziggy
edwards.
I
have
two
questions.
Actually
one
is
the
more
involved
ones
so
I'll
just
get
to
that.
First.
My
question
is
about
the
budget
for
the
mon
oakland
connector.
F
So
I
mean
I
guess
I
don't
need
to
get
into
the
background
of
it.
The
project
mayor
gainey,
announced
that
you
know
his
administration
is
stopping
the
build-out
of
it.
It
was
a
project
that
residents
of
the
affected
communities
really
didn't
want.
So
we're
happy
that
that's
not
happening.
There
is
still
work
happening.
F
That
is
along
a
similar
route.
What
I
my
question?
Well,
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
about
this.
How
can
I
find
out
where
the
funds
like
how
much
because
there
is
still
an
monopoly,
connector
budget?
From
what
I
understand?
F
Maybe
you
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
from
what
I
understand:
there's
not
a
budget
for
2023
and
on,
but
there
are
funds
in
there
from
2018
and
2019,
and
I've
been
having
a
very
difficult
time
tracking
down
exactly
how
much
is
in
there
and,
what's
being,
I
know
there
are
funds
being
moved
out
of
there,
but
exactly
what
funds
are
being
moved
out
into
where
so,
that's
one
part
of
the
question
on
that
and
when
and
because
it's
not
in
future
budget
years
in
this
window,
you
were
discussing.
F
When
will
it
will
it?
When
will
it
be
removed
from
that
50-year
plan
that
you
mentioned,
because
I
from
what
I
it
is
in
there
and
from
what
I
understand
it's
still
in
there.
So
I
I
wanted
to
know
when
it
will
be
removed
from
that,
and
I
have
another
question.
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
take
that
one
first
or
or
if
I
should
just
go
ahead
and
finish
asking
my
question.
F
Okay,
yeah
sure
yeah,
oh
and
I
forgot
to
mention
about
the
monopoly
connector,
knowing
that
exactly
what
you
were
mentioning
earlier
about
the
like:
the
huge
number
of
landslides
and
the
limited
funds
and
really
having
to
prioritize
it's
just
one
of
those
things
that
makes
us
like
residents
in
the
affected
community,
because
there
are
two
they're,
not
there's,
not
just
one
but
two
areas
on
the
route
of
that
monopoly.
F
Connector,
where
there
are
there's
a
like
a
long
history
of
landslides
and
so
knowing
that
that
those
are
a
big
issue
and
that
they
would
take
a
lot
of
funds
to
repair.
Just
wondering
about
this,
like
how
the
finances
of
that
will
be
adjusted
since
there
isn't
going
to
be
a
road
for
shuttles
going
through
there.
And
why
do
the
work?
F
You
know?
Because
it's
so
expensive
in
their
existing
streets
that
have
these
issues
and
then
the
next
question
is
actually
about
the
city
steps.
I'm
interested.
I
guess
a
lot
of
people
in
pittsburgh
are
interested
in
the
city
steps.
I
have
a
set
right
up
the
street
from
my
house
that
I
use
all
the
time
I
use
them
today
and
that
map
that
you
were
talking
about
is
very
helpful.
I'm
thanks.
I
didn't
know
about
that.
F
I
will
check
it
out,
but
so
my
question
is
about
that
particular
set
of
steps
because
I
use
it
every
day
and
there's
one
step
on
that
set
of
city
steps
that
is
completely
deteriorated.
You
can,
if
they're
concrete
steps,
you
can
see
the
rebar
and
it's
like
decaying,
and
there
was
one
time
that
was
very
scary.
When
I
almost
like,
I
made
a
wrong
step
like
I
knew
it
was
there,
but
I
still
just
made
a
wrong
step
and
I
almost
like
fell
down
the
whole
set
of
steps
backwards.
F
I
was
pushing
my
bike
up
the
bike.
Runnel
pretty
scary.
I
mean
I'm
extra
careful
now
I
still
do
use
it.
I
did
call
3-1-1,
and
so
my
question
is
like
in
in
terms
of
that
map
of
the
city
steps.
Is
there
a
way
to?
F
I
don't
know
if
it's
connected
with
that
map
specifically,
but
is
there
a
way
to
sort
of
track?
The
amount
of
I
don't
know
attention,
that's
being
paid
to
those
steps
like
tracking
the
number
of
3-1-1
call.
I
mean
not
just
for
you
guys,
but
for
like
somebody
like
me,
who's
just
you
know
who
made
the
call
and
is
wondering
like
where
it
goes
from
there,
how
how
much
of
a
priority
do
my
neighbors
consider
it?
F
You
know
that
kind
of
thing,
so
I
can
know
like
have
some
idea
of
how
high
of
a
priority
it
is
and
when
these
steps
might
get
fixed.
So
that
was
my
other
question.
Thank
you.
A
Yeah,
those
are
good
questions.
I'm
going
to
pause
on
the
steps
question
just
because
we
got
good
questions
too
from
alyssa
and
laura
and
I
think,
there's
a
great
opportunity
for
either
director
lucas
or
eric
to
talk
about
how
step
projects
are
prioritizing
a
little
bit.
I
do
want
to
get
to
the
monoplan
connector
slash
four
mile
run
projects.
A
I
know
we're
partnering
with
pwsa
they're
doing
some
of
that
work
themselves
and
we're
working
with
them
on
some
other
portions
of
the
project,
I'll
defer
to
the
smarter
people
on
the
call
for
the
details
for
that,
but
in
terms
of
budget
it
would
get
amended
the
way
anything
else
in
a
prior
year.
Budget
would
get
amended,
which
is
just
through
legislation,
so
usually
in
the
capital
budget.
We
have
on
each
of
the
pages
I'm
going
to
try
to
share
my
screen.
A
A
number
on
the
bottom
left
that
bring
on
our
team
works
really
hard
to
get
right.
Every
time
we
publish
the
budget,
it
shows
you
what
the
outstanding
balances
are
from
prior
years.
A
Share
okay.
So
if
you're
looking
at
capital
budget
like,
for
example,
this
is
28th
street
bridge.
The
bottom
of
this
first
page
usually
has
a
number
of
prior
year
funds
that
are
unencumbered
unexpended.
A
So,
in
terms
of
changing
the
project
budget,
we
have
seen
a
lot
of
push
from
from
council
district
5
council
member
o'connor
to
get
that
money
repurposed
towards
things
that
are
of
a
higher
and
better
use
for
the
residents.
So
that's
in
progress.
I'd
have
to
go
back
and
look,
I'm
not
sure
exactly
what
the
balance
is
for
prior
year
funds,
but
it's
something
that
we
check
in
with
the
departments
on
as
part
of
the
budget
process
too.
A
If
they
have
old
funds
we'd,
rather
them
spend
down
old
funds
to
do
things
like
landslide
mitigation
or
flood
control
than
then
give
them
new
money.
So
that's
part
of
the
kind
of
process.
From
our
end,
it's
just
really
just
legislation
to
move
the
money
from
one
project
to
another.
But
I
don't
know
if
director
lucas
or
somebody
else
from
domi
wants
to
speak
to
the
project
scope
as
it
is
now.
E
Yeah
dave,
you
had
it
exactly
right,
so
the
connection
that
was
has
always
been
a
part
of
that
project,
which
needs
a
new
name
which
is
actually
a
series
of
smaller
connection
pieces.
We're
still
we're
still
pursuing
a
connection,
but
what
we're
not
doing
is
building
a
road
that
is
being
designed
to
hold
motor
vehicles.
E
Instead,
we
have
reduced
the
project
and
the
connection
down
to
something
that
is
equivalent
to
our
other
trails,
our
bike
and
pedestrian
trails,
and
so
that
is
what
is
being
constructed,
and
so
the
local
funding,
as
dave
mentioned,
that's
still
within
the
project,
is
to
you
know,
collaborate
with
pwsa
on
the
flood
mitigation
work
and
the
trail
connection,
and
with
regards
to
the
landslide
mitigation
sylvan
avenue,
which
is
one
of
those
pieces,
was
closed
years
ago
because
of
landslide
activity
and
so
reopening
it
as
a
multimodal
trail
for
bikes
and
pedestrians
is
a
more
cost-effective
way.
A
Yeah,
that's
a
good
point,
so
we
will
get
back
to
the
steps
in
just
a
little
bit,
but
I
want
to
give
catherine
and
dina
a
chance.
So
catherine,
do
you
want
to
come
off,
mute
and
ask
your
question.
G
Sure
hi
thanks
so
much
and
thanks
so
much
for
having
this
webinar.
It's
been
really
great.
I
have
kind
of
a
two-part
question
about
the
logistics
of
how
we're
supposed
to
either
residents
or
neighborhood
organizations
how
we're
supposed
to
go
about
submitting
our
capital
requests
or
our
ideas.
G
G
A
I
would
do
both
honestly,
the
elected
officials
are
there
to
represent
you,
so
never
feel
bad
about
asking
for
their
help,
advocating
for
something
that
you
need
in
your
community,
but
also
the
surveys
do
help.
We
have
stealing
my
thunderheads
and
some
stuff
to
show
in
a
little
bit
about
how
we
take
the
survey
data.
We
tag
it
for
the
right
department
and
the
right
council
office,
and
then
we
send
it
to
them.
A
So
they
have
the
opportunity
to
filter
this
big
long
list
of
all
these
specific
project
ideas
into
things
that
are
just
germane
for
their
team.
Then
they
can
submit
proposals
to
us.
We
actually
usually
open
the
window
a
little
bit
past
july
first,
so
that
the
departments
and
the
council
offices
have
a
chance
to
actually
react
to
your
input
in
real
time.
So
we
know
that
these
meetings
are
going
to
wrap
up
on
june
9th,
it's
going
to
take
me
probably
a
week
or
two
to
scrub
the
data
and
get
everything
tagged.
A
So
we
usually
give
them
a
couple
weeks
to
respond
to
any
of
the
survey
responses.
So
again,
I
think
both
channels
are
smart.
You
can
put
it
through
the
survey
if
it
doesn't
become
an
idea
now,
at
least
it's
documented
with
public
support.
It
doesn't
become
a
proposal
now,
at
least
it's
documented
public
support
for
the
future,
but
never
feel
bad
about
reaching
out
to
your
your
council
person
to
ask
them
to
put
in
a
proposal.
E
For
next
year's
presentation,
I'll
have
sort
of
a
screenshot
of
one
of
our
sample
rubrics
that
we
do,
but
when
we
receive
requests
from
external
parties
you
know
sometimes
community
organizations
will
send
us
their
project
requests.
Sometimes,
council
members
want
to
collaborate
with
the
department
to
make
sure
we're
aligned
and
what
the
right
highest
priority
projects
are.
We
will
add
them
to
our
matrix
and
we
evaluate
them
for
things
like,
as
I
mentioned
before,
for
assets,
we
look
at
their
condition
index,
so,
whatever
data
we
have
about
the
condition
it's
in.
E
We
look
at
that
if
they're
safety
projects-
and
we
look
at
whatever
crash
data,
we
have
to
find
out
if
there
is
a
documented
issue
there,
even
though
we
we
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
places
that
don't
have
high
crashes,
because
people
avoid
them
and
that's
also
something
that
we're
sensitive
to.
We
have
an
equity
index
as
well,
where
we
have
a
static
map
that
we've
developed.
E
That
looks
at
not
only
demographic
information
but
looks
at
things
like
access
to
automobiles
and
access
to
public
transportation,
to
add
a
geographic
component
to
our
evaluation,
and
we
look
at
where
previous
investment
has
been,
and
so
with
our
you
know.
E
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
this
with
our
street
resurfacing
and
looking
at
at
a
district
scale,
what
the
condition
of
the
roads
are
and
the
miles
of
roads
per
capita
and
that
sort
of
thing,
and
that's
one
of
the
ways
that
we
take
a
look
at
where
previous
investment
has
been
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we
have
an
equitable
strategy
in
place
to
help
prioritize
our
projects.
G
Thank
you.
So
I
live
in
greenfield
and
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
in
greenfield
and
then
also
in
squirrel
hill.
There's
two
major
intersections
that
our
neighborhoods
share
that
are
pretty
problematic.
G
One
is
if
you're
familiar
with
the
area
sort
of
beechwood
and
forward
beechwood
forward,
monitor
that
section
and
the
other
one
is
brown
hill
road
where
rounds
hill
road
meets
hazelwood
and
beechwood
over
there,
and
my
understanding
to
date
is
that
those
are
really
difficult
areas
for
the
city
to
work
on,
because
they're
co-owned
between
the
city
and
the
state,
and
my
question
is
for
those
areas
that
we
already
know
are
co-owned
infrastructure.
G
E
I
think
it's
worthwhile
to
share
with
us.
There
are
different
requirements
when
there
are
streets
that
are
state
streets,
for
example,
carson
street
or
many
more,
that
penndot
is
responsible
for
and
penndot
has
rules
about
what
sorts
of
elements
you
can
put
on
their
streets
to
date.
They
don't
allow
us
to
do
things
like
speed,
humps
or
bumps
on
their
roads,
and
so
that's
why
we,
if
we
get
a
project
request,
anything
that
we
would
want
to
propose
we'd
have
to
we'd
have
to
do
with
the
state.
E
E
Oh
actually,
real
quick
dave.
I
was
just
reminded
by
my
deputy
director,
jeff
skelligen,
that
were
incorporated
into
penndot's
project
with
beechwood
and
looking
at
the
squirrel
interchange.
So
I
believe
that
is
one
that
is
right
now
in
their
site
that
they're
looking
to
make
some
major
improvements
to
and
we're
working
with
them
on
that.
A
Nice
dina,
if
you
come
back,
feel
free
to
pipe
up.
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
some
of
the
written
questions,
though
in
the
meantime,
and
then
to
our
earlier
question
about
steps
and
also
to
alyssa's
question
about
been
started
on
concrete
steps.
Laura's
question:
where
can
residents
find
a
list
of
which
flights
and
city
steps
are
being
repaired,
scheduled
to
be
repaired
every
year?
Tell
me
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
talk
about
steps,
prioritization
and
kind
of
what's
in
the
hopper,
for
for
newer
step
projects.
E
Yes,
I
know
there
were
a
couple
different
elements
to
the
questions
and
they're
about
steps.
So
when
we
did
the
steps
plan
a
few
years
ago,
that
took
a
look
at
prioritizing
based
on
relevance
to
the
network
that
generated
a
list
from
the
highest
sort
of
demand
to
lowest
demand,
and
that
also
had
follow-up
work
for
that
was
internal
facing
that
identified
where
over
the
next
five
years,
we
needed
to
invest
because
they
were
steps
that
were
high
demand
and
then
we
were
able
to
go
out
and
take
a
look
at
their
condition
as
well.
E
I
think
that's
a
great
suggestion
to
make
public
facing
where
we've
received
funding
beyond
the
budget
itself.
The
budget
book
can
tell
you
which,
if
there's
named
deliverables
within
there
from
the
local
money
that
will
be
in
there
but
having
a
map.
E
You
know,
maybe
updating
our
steps
page,
where
we've
got
a
map,
that
you
can
click
on
every
single
set
of
steps
in
the
city
and
you
can
find
out
where
it
ranks
with
regards
to
its
priority
in
the
network,
we
may
be
able
to
add
some
information
there
too
about
ones
that
have
capital
money.
That's
already
been
dedicated
to
it,
because
that
is.
We
know
that
they
are
so
important
to
our
city
and
they're,
one
of
the
the
few
assets
that
different
organizations
come
to
us
and
say
we.
E
We
love
the
steps.
How
can
we
help
you
tomi?
So
we
definitely
that's
a
great
idea
about
getting
more
information
out
there
on
them.
E
Oh-
and
I
remember
somebody
I
think,
ziggy,
you
were
mentioning
that
there's
a
set
of
steps
that
has
like
a
single
rung,
that's
missing
for
minor
repairs
like
that,
the
department
of
public
works
is
able
to
maintain.
So
if
the
repair
or
maintenance
that's
needed
doesn't
rise
to
the
level
of
sort
of
a
capital
rehab
project,
then
we
work
with
the
department
of
public
works
on
those
minor
repairs.
A
Okay,
I'm
gonna
go
out
of
work.
That's
too
good
of
a
transition
to
pass
up
so
andrew
asks.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
when
to
restore
repair
efforts
become
large
enough
to
qualify
as
capital
projects?
It
seems,
in
particular,
a
lot
of
the
bike
and
pedestrian
infrastructure
in
town
is
in
a
state
of
disrepair.
There
seems
to
be
no
real
effort
to
restore
these
to
their
prior
condition
in
normal
day-to-day
operations.
A
E
So
you
know
over
a
thousand
miles
of
roadway
and
we've
got
the
budget
to
do
about
40
something
miles.
So
we
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
needs
out
there
and
that's
why
it's
so
important,
not
only
with
the
information
we
have
to
determine
what
the
need
is.
You
know
what
is
the
condition?
What
are
the
imperfections,
but
also
to
then
prioritize
those
needs
based
on
other
elements,
as
I
mentioned
before,
you
know
equity.
Is
it
located
in
a
high
need
community?
Is
it
a
really
critical
part
of
our
transportation
network?
A
That's
a
good
point,
I
think,
with
what
makes
paving
and
steps
so
hard
for
me
is
that
I
know
the
the
size
of
the
need
is
knowable.
We
know
what
the
size
of
our
network
of
streets
are.
We
can
estimate
how
much
of
that
is
by
two
minutes.
We
can
kind
of
guess
how
much
very
educated
estimate
how
much
it's
going
to
cost
per
mile.
We
know
the
dollar
amount
we
need
every
year.
We
know
that
we're
below
that.
A
A
E
So
cyclomedia
is
the
company
that
the
city
contracts
with
to
do
really
high
resolution,
imagery
of
all
of
our
public
streets
and
we're
working
with
them
to
try
to
extract
data
on
the
the
asset
condition
and
why
that's
important
is
the
last
time
that
we
had
a
comprehensive
look
at
every
single
mile
of
roadway
was
a
number
of
years
ago,
and
so
we've
been
depreciating
and
degrading.
E
The
condition
scores
based
on
you
know
formulas,
but
this
will
be
a
good
refresh
of
exactly
where
we
are
and
what
we
are,
and
it
will
also
be
a
good
opportunity
to
perhaps
follow
up.
If
we
know
someone
was
a
permit
holder
and
they
opened
up
our
street,
and
this
is
a
good
time
to
find
out
if
they
restored
it
properly,
because
we've
got
nine
inspectors
for
the
whole
city
last
year.
They
performed
fifty
inspections,
so
nine
people
did
50
000
inspections,
but
that's
not
nearly
enough.
A
That's
a
good
point,
so
there's
an
anonymous
question:
is
there
a
map
of
city
with
state
versus
city
owned?
I
assume
that's
for
things
like
roadways
and
bridges.
I
don't
know
if
that's
publicly
available
director
lucas,
that's.
E
A
great
question,
so
I
I
know
that
for
things
like
bridges,
you
can
go
to
penndot,
you
can
google
penndot,
which
is
the
pennsylvania
department
of
transportation,
and
you
can
find
their
bridge
website
where
they
will
show
you
all
of
the
bridges
and
they
will
you'll
also
be
able
to
find
out
summary
data
on
the
condition
of
those
bridges
for
the
city
gis
network,
we're
trying
to
get
as
much
information
on
there
as
possible.
So
I
would
think
that
we
have
information
about
local
roadways
versus
not,
but
it's
something
we
can
look
into.
C
Yeah
yeah,
sorry,
sorry
I'll!
Let
you
go
too
long.
If
you,
google,
search
for
pen
dot
type
10
map,
it'll
provide
you
with
a
pdf
that
gives
you
local
versus
state.
E
C
Yep
they
they
have
a
gis
portal
that
I'll
link
as
well,
that
sometimes
can
be
more
user
friendly.
Sometimes
it's
less
user
friendly
I'll
put
both
in
the
chat.
Thank.
A
You
I
appreciate
that
dina
asked
what
community
outreach
do
you
do
as
far
as
updating
residents
on
the
project
work
days,
closures
and
etcetera?
So,
dr
lucas,
I
don't
talk
about
any
specific
projects
in
terms
of
communication.
I'll
just
say:
I've
been
enjoyed.
I've
enjoyed
using
engage
pgh
as
kind
of
a
project
specific
portal
where
you
can
get
updates.
A
E
Sure
that's
another
really
great
question,
so
we
use
a
variety
of
different
methods
depending
on
the
project.
The
department
of
city
planning
published
a
couple
years
ago.
A
public
engagement
guide
that
sort
of
gives
us
a
roadmap
for
exactly
what
type
of
engagement
we
should
do
for
the
level
of
impact
that
our
project
work
might
have,
and
so
we
do
utilize
engage
pga,
engage
pgh
when
we're
seeking
feedback
on
different
projects,
whether
it's
a
design
project
or
a
planning
process.
We
absolutely
use
that
platform
and
it's
the
best
place
to
look
for
those
opportunities.
E
We
use
things
like
press
releases
and
media
alerts
when
there
are
things
that
are
major
closures
or
full
road
closures.
We,
you
know
we're
ramping
up
our
social
media
utilization
to
also
kind
of
highlight,
not
only
the
the
issues
in
our
network,
but
also
the
successes.
Let
people
know
we've
completed
a
project
or
we've
had
this
great
win
for
things
like
paving.
We
do
a
lot
of
tactical
stuff.
E
A
So
pete
mcdevitt,
formerly
office
of
management
and
budget,
asked
how
does
landslide
remediation
funding
differentiate
from
park
reconstruction
funding
have
ins
guys
seen
riverview
park
lately
so
directly.
Look.
Is
he
going
to
talk
about
landslides
in
in
the
public
right-of-way
I'll
I'll
say
we
do
try
to
consider
stormwater
management,
especially
in
more
and
more
park
projects
as
time
goes
on.
We
recognize
that
that's
some
of
our
best
option,
our
best
ammunition
against
against
just
the
terrible
flooding
we've
seen,
is
being
able
to
put
infrastructure
into
parks,
but
yeah
director
lucas.
E
Yeah,
I'm
loving
these
questions
tonight,
so
yeah
landslides
can
happen
in
a
variety
of
places
and
depending
on
where
they
happen,
a
different
department
may
be
involved.
For
example,
if
it's
impacting
private
property
and
structures,
then
permit
slices
and
licenses
and
inspections
will
be
involved.
If
it's
impacting
a
park,
the
department
of
public
works
will
be
involved
and
when
it's
impacting
a
right-of-way
or
a
road
domi
is
involved
so
in
riverview
park.
I
believe
there
are
11
landslides
right
now
and
varying
projects
for
each
of
those.
E
So
we
are
the
technical
experts
for
the
city
and
the
engineers
that
are
working
on
those
projects
and
managing
those
projects
and
eric
if
you're
available-
and
you
want
to
touch
a
little
bit
on
the
update
for
those
please
chime
in
so
we
we
do
manage
them
in
the
park.
I
hope
and
think
that
there
could
be
opportunity
for
things.
E
Other
sources
of
funding,
like
maybe
rad,
funding,
to
help
support
that
work
within
a
park,
and
certainly
you
know
our
staff
times
coming
out
of
our
department
staff,
and
so
it's
definitely
a
blend
of
funding.
And
I
see
that
eric
has
unmuted
for
anything
you'd
like
to
add.
D
I
have
yeah
no
you're
right,
we
are
maybe
it's
a
dubious
distinction
to
be
the
technical
experts
on
landslides,
but
so
we
are,
we've
been
working
pretty
closely
with
dpw
on
riverview
park,
you're
correct,
there's
about
11
landslides
there
you
know
at
varying
degrees
of
severity.
D
D
We
have
been
fortunate
on
that
that
rad,
the
regional
asset
district,
has
been
able
to
allocate
some
capital
money
to
put
towards
landslides
in
that
park
and
also,
as
you
mentioned,
on
water,
you
know,
dealing
with
the
water
is
always
a
key
for
any
landslide.
So
that's
part
of
our
scope
for
our
engineers
on
these
design
projects
is
to
figure
out
where
the
water
is
coming
from
and
where
we
need
to
get
it
to
in
a
safe
manner.
A
Always
the
concern
in
pittsburgh
is
where's
the
water
coming
from
and
where
is
it
going
so
brad
asked
an
interesting
question
about
steps.
Many
years
ago
the
south
side
slopes
neighborhood
association
and
the
ssldc
commissioned
to
study
on
steps
that
has
helped
guide
investment
decisions
over
the
years.
In
addition
to
capital
budget
dollars,
are
there
any
efforts
in
grant
seeking
to
help
with
the
infrastructure
I
feel
like
we
did
go?
I
remember
working
with
former
director
gable
on
a
set
of
stairs.
A
I
thought
it
was
on
the
south
side
that
had
a
actual
mosaic
up
the
side
of
it.
I
remember
being
a
lot
more
expensive
than
we
initially
thought,
so
we
were
costing
the
whole
thing
initially
and
I
don't
remember
which
grant
we
used
for
that.
But
I
know
we
have
used
grant
funds
in
the
past
for
those
kind
of
projects.
A
I
don't
know
if
the
steps
themselves
are
usually
considered
for,
like
trail
programs,
I
want
to
say
that
they're
not,
but
I
don't
know
if
anybody
in
domey,
jeff
or
director
lucas
is
going
to
talk
about
any
of
the
other
kind
of
grant
opportunities
where
steps
might
be
applicable.
I'm
trying
to
think
through
in
my
head,
like
smart
and
other
things
that
are
available,
but
nothing's
ringing
a
bell,
that's
specific
to
steps.
E
Yeah,
I
think-
and
you
know
evan
or
jeff,
if
you
guys
want
to
chime
in
or
eric,
I
think
there's
no
shortage
of
opportunities,
because
steps
are
part
of
our
pedestrian
network
and
so
anytime.
I
think
that
we
can
be
pursuing
funding
for
those
sorts
of
connections.
E
Then
steps
can
can
be
eligible
and
certainly
they're
things
that
we've
pursued
earmarks
for.
We've
received
our
money,
federal
money
for
and
so
anytime
that
there's
an
opportunity
out
there
we
definitely
pursue
it.
I
see
eric
turned
his
camera
on.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
something
he
wanted
to
add
eric.
D
Yeah,
no
just
the
second
effect
that
we're
always
looking
for
sources
of
money.
You
know
to,
as
you
were
mentioning
earlier
in
the
presentation
to
leverage
our
dollars.
You
know
one
thing
that
we,
since
steps
are
such
a
unique
asset
type.
We
do
have
to
be
a
little
selective
about
which
funding
sources
we
try
to
put
towards
them.
D
D
A
Yeah,
that's
important.
A
lot
of
grantors
are
kind
of
looking
for
really
innovative
new
things
and
sometimes
we're
trying
to
get
needs
met
with
just
core
infrastructure.
So
it's
finding
a
way
to
kind
of
tell
that
story
about
the
key
part
of
this
neighborhood
that
these
steps
represent
and
the
connections
they
make
that
director
lucas
was
talking
about
and
why
they're
so
critical
to
the
community.
The
good
news
on
that
front
is:
we
do
have
a
team
within
the
office
of
management
and
budget
that
works
exclusively
on
grant
opportunities.
A
It's
currently
a
three-person
team,
so
when
they
see
notices
from
the
federal
government
or
from
penndot
or
from
the
county
before
transportation
grants-
and
they
see,
steps
are
in
there,
they
can
reach
out
to
domi
and
talk
through
opportunities
in
terms
of
what
projects
do
you
have
in
your
opera
that
might
line
up
with
this,
which
ones
have
you
already
costed?
Which
ones
can
we
write
a
compelling
narrative
for
and
then
kind
of,
pursue
the
grant
together?
As
a
team,
we've
had
some
really
good
success,
they're
pretty
good
at
writing.
Those
grants.
A
So
there
was
a
3-1-1
question:
I'm
not
entirely
sure
how
to
answer.
Unfortunately,
we
don't
have
3-1-1
on
the
line
tonight,
but
the
question
is:
are
there
any
plans
for
3-1-1
to
become
more
transparent
over
the
years?
I've
submitted
many
requests
that
have
been
closed
with
no
comment,
status,
update
or
information
from
the
city.
A
Can
the
city
share
progress
or
reason
for
closing
requests,
perhaps
don't
mean
provide
that
info
for
infrastructure
related
to
311
requests,
so
I'll
ask
anybody
from
dome
who
wants
to
jump
in
just
kind
of
what
the
process
is
for
you
in
terms
of
closing
out
3-1-1
requests.
I
will
say
from
from
my
perspective
as
somebody
who
works
on
the
capital
budget,
it's
kind
of
the
first
line
of
defense.
A
A
Recently,
I
can't
tell
I
have
to
so
I'm
a
little
a
little
sympathetic
to
that
right
now
when
they've
changed
their
hours
a
little
bit
to
go
from
seven
to
seven
to
eight
to
six,
but
I
do
understand
the
concerns
you
have
around
transparency
and
what
happens
to
my
request
after
it's
been
closed.
So
I
don't
know
if
there's
anybody
on
on
the
dummy
side
who
wants
to
just
speak
to
how
that
process
works.
E
Yeah,
so
actually,
I'm
really
glad
that
this
question
was
raised
because
I
see
311
is
a
really
great
opportunity
for
the
department
not
only
to
increase
its
customer
service,
but
also
for
us
to
get
better
information
to
make
our
decisions
with.
So
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
currently
has
61
different
service
request
types
that
are
assigned
to
our
department,
which
means
this
out
of
all
the
categories
that
people
contact
3-1-1
for
61
of
those
go
to
our
department
for
handling.
E
We
are
doing
a
3-1-1
strategic
project
right
now,
where
we
are
evaluating
all
of
those
request,
types
we're
working
with
the
staff
that
are
responsible
for
responding
to
those
request
types
so
that
we
can
do
a
couple
of
things.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
consistent
and
reliable
responses
so
that,
if
you
reach
out,
you
know
analogy
I
used
the
other
day.
Was
you
go
to
mcdonald's
because
the
hamburger,
the
big
mac
is
going
to
taste
the
same?
Every
time
you
go,
it's
going
to
be
made
the
exact
same
way.
E
Every
time
you
go
and
that's
the
type
of
experience
that
I
want
all
residents
to
have
when
they
call
3-1-1
with
adobe
request
type,
if
you
call
about
a
steps
issue,
you're
going
to
get
a
consistent
and
reliable
response
based
on
that
type
of
issue,
so
we're
working
with
staff
to
generate
templated
responses
and
protocol
for
timeliness
of
responses,
so
that
that
experience
can
be
as
consistent
as
possible.
We
also
recognize
that
311
is
not
used
equitably
throughout
the
city.
E
You
know,
I've
pulled
the
domi
data
and
there
are
communities
that
have
over
500
outstanding
tickets
right
now
or
tickets
rather,
and
there's
other
communities
that
have
had
zero
tickets,
because
zero
calls
have
been
made,
and
so
we're
using
that
absence
of
public
engagement
on
that
platform
as
an
opportunity
to
proactively
reach
out
to
those
communities
and
share
information
about
what
311
is
and
how
it
can
be
used
so
that
they
feel
comfortable
using
it
and
that
we
can
sort
of
balance
out
how
311
communicates
with
us
and
one
more
element
of
this
3-1-1
strategic
project
that
we're
doing
right
now
is
to
also
better
equip
301
operators
with
information.
E
E
If
we
gave
you
good
information,
you
wouldn't
even
have
to
open
a
ticket,
because
you
could
answer
the
caller's
question,
thereby
providing
better
customer
service
for
the
caller
and
thereby
also
preserving
domi
staff
from
having
to
answer
a
ticket,
because
the
need
was
already
met
and
so
we're
working
in
all
those
ways
to
improve
the
experience
and
to
also
have
better
outcomes
from
that
data.
Right
now,.
A
Yeah,
that's
a
good
point
mark
had
an
interesting
question.
What
changes
are
planned
in
the
strip
district
plan?
I
think
it
is
one
of
the
best
opportunities
for
biking,
pedestrian
improvements
in
the
city,
so
authors
of
me
from
doming
as
well
versus
in
the
strip
district
plan.
I
can
say
I
second
this.
I
live
in
lawrenceville
and
commute
to
downtown,
so
I
use
the
distribution
constantly.
It's
such
a
crucial
connector
to
a
lot
of
neighborhoods
from
the
east
end
of
downtown.
E
You're
right,
it
is
a
crucial
connection
and
the
plan
identified
a
need
for
a
better
connection
between
downtown
and
lawrenceville
via
district.
So,
as
perhaps
the
person
who
asked
the
question
knows,
we
have
a
protected
bike
lane
on
penn
ave
that
starts
in
downtown
actually
goes
all
the
way
to
the
point
and
connects
you
to
15th
street
in
the
strip
district
and
then
from
there
you've
got
a
series
of
alleys
that
are
recommended
that
people
ride
in
as
part
of
smallmouth
street
reconstruction
project
that
eric's
team
led.
E
We
have
added
bike
lanes,
but
the
connection
doesn't
get
you
as
close
to
lawrenceville,
as
we
would
like
to
see.
So
the
plan
definitely
recommends
an
improved
connection
and
right
now
we're
evaluating
where
that
connection
should
be
and
exactly
what
it
should
be
and
working
with
the
community
and
with
designers
actively
right
now
to
to
figure
that
out,
because
we
know
that
it's
so
critical.
F
H
To
talk
a
little
bit
about
investments
in
neighborhoods
like
the
hill
district,
where
so
much
of
the
land
is
publicly
owned,
and
therefore
the
private
owner,
so
to
speak
in
those
cases,
would
not
be
responsible
for
upkeep
of
sidewalks,
because
the
owner
is
actually
the
city
or
a
public
agency
ura,
which
means
we
have
an
inordinate
amount
of
damage,
sidewalks
and
or
curbs
meaning
that
you
know
we
would
also
need
a
disproportionate
amount
of
investment,
because
all
of
because
so
much
of
that
land
is
publicly
owned.
H
So
I
wanted
to
bring
that
up
as
a
point
of
consideration
so
that
the
city
can
work
in
partnership
with
the
public
agencies
that
have
ownership
so
that
there
can
be
a
strategic
plan
around
investment
into
into
our
sidewalks
and
curbs.
H
I
do
want
to
address
the
curb
cuts
for
accessibility
in
particular,
I
often
see
I
work
on
center
avenue
in
the
hill
district,
and
I
often
see
on
my
and
I
live
in
the
hill
district
and
often
see
on
on
my
way
to
work
in
two
two
back
to
my
home
and
throughout
the
neighborhood
senior
citizens
on
wheelchairs
inside
on
in
wheelchairs.
H
In
the
street
and
it's
extremely
dangerous
and
I'm
fearful
that
someone
will
get
hurt,
but
I
know
that
the
reason
why
they're
in
the
street
nine
times
out
of
ten
is
because
there's
not
a
proper
cub
curb
cut
at
the
end
of
a
you
know
of
a
sidewalk,
and
so
they
just
opt
to
stay
in
the
street
because
they
can't
get
up
on
the
side.
I
want
to
bring
that
up
as
an
urgent
matter
of
concern.
H
I
do
want
to
lift
up
the
need
for
investment
in
city
steps,
particularly
in
communities
that
are
do
not
have
a
lot
of
vehicular
access
for
the
residents
low
in
low
and
moderate
income,
particularly
low-income
persons
may
not
have
personal
transportation,
and
so
mobility,
public
transportation
and
access
to
public
walkways
is
particularly
important
for
these
populations,
and
so
I
do
again
want
to
kind
of
lift
up
those
folks
who
are
oftentimes
not
able
to
get.
H
They
don't
have
choices
right,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
considering
that
as
we
allocate
funding.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
highlight
that
infrastructure
dollars
can
should,
I
believe,
go
to
neighborhood-based
projects
when
possible.
H
What
we're
seeing
oftentimes
is
that
large-scale
projects
oftentimes
get
that
don't
assure
equitable
outcomes
for
communities
and
or
the
city
oftentimes
get
a
disproportionate
amount
of
public
dollars
for
infrastructure,
I'll
use
the
laura
hill
district
as
an
example,
if
you
drive
on
the
lower
hill
district,
you'll,
see
beautiful
sidewalks
scarb
cuts
sewer
wells
trees
planted,
but
if
you
come
up
just
a
couple
of
blocks,
you'll
see
exactly
what
I
just
described,
and
so
I
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
shift
our
attention
to
those
communities
most
in
need
and
not
subsidized
as
greatly
private
developers
need
for
public
infrastructure,
although
I'm
not
completely
against
it.
H
I
just
think
that
it's
so
terribly
inequitable
right
now
that
it's
problematic.
I
want
to
just
encourage
the
federal
pursuing
federal
dollars
for
communities
and
for
the
infrastructure
needs
of
communities.
I
just
want
to
lift
that
up.
I
know
there
was
conversations.
I
won't
go
further
into
that.
H
A
couple
of
new
ideas
that
I
think
would
be
very
helpful
in
stimulating
development
in
communities
like
the
hill
district
is
utilizing
infrastructure
to
do
some
of
the
pre-development
on
sites
that
are
that
cannot
attract
private
capital
in
particular,
so
for
example,
again
because
so
much
of
the
land
in
neighborhoods,
like
the
hill
district,
are
vacant
lots
that
are
publicly
owned.
H
One
of
the
reasons
why
you
don't
see
development
in
those
vacant
lots
year
after
year
after
year
after
year
is
because
you
can't
attract
private
capital
to
these
communities
and
part
of
the
reason
why
you
can't
attract
private
capital
is
because
the
development
cost
is
so
extraordinarily
high
and
so
utilizing
some
of
the
infrastructure
dollars
to
do
some
of
the
early
stage.
Pre-Development
work,
whether
it's
for
environmental
testing,
whether
it's
to
lay
a
foundation
for
new
housing,
I
think,
could
be
a
very,
very
powerful
use
of
infrastructure
dollars.
H
That
would
spur
economic
development
in
ways
that
are
unusual.
Thank
you.
A
Those
are
really
powerful
points
and
very
I
keep
saying
think
about
particular.
But
that's
nuance
is
the
word
I'm
trying
to
think
of
nuanced
ideas
about
infrastructure
and
how
we
prioritize
spending,
so
I
do
just
want
to
back
them
up
and
hopefully
strengthen
them
with
a
couple
technical
definitions,
director,
lucas
or
somebody
from
domey.
If
you
want
to
explain
what
curb
cuts
are
and
what
ada
ramps
are
because
they're
both
really
crucial
to
the
pedestrian
network,
but
in
different
ways.
E
E
Curb
cuts
by
contrast,
are
typically
not
located
at
the
corners
and
they
are
generally
for
vehicular
access,
though
they
often
do
serve
pedestrians
and
people
using
mobility
devices
as
well,
and
we
recently
in
the
last
two
years
established
stronger,
curb
cut
guidance
as
well,
so
that
we
have
them
in
the
right
locations
and
we
don't
have
too
many
curb
cuts,
because
the
the
more
opportunities
for
vehicles
to
be
crossing
sidewalks,
which
is
what
curb
cuts,
do
the
higher
chances.
There
are
of
safety
issues
because
there's
more
opportunity
for
conflicts
between
vehicles
and
pedestrians.
A
A
So
a
couple
more
questions
left
laura
made
a
good
point
about
all
five
flights
of
city
steps
of
connected
center
avenue
business
corridor
and
bad
shape
are
closed.
Having
them
reopened
would
help
connect
middle
hill
in
in
terrace
village.
So
thank
you
for
that
comment.
That's
very
important
to
consider,
too,
to
marimba's
point,
there's
a
lot
of
important
transit
connections
that
we
try
to
prioritize
in
our
scoring
with
that
2018
steps
plan.
A
But
now
we're
we've
to
director
lucas's
point
more
nuanced
data
about
the
cost
of
replacement,
and
hopefully
we
can
go
out
and
get
those
prioritized
steps
that
are
close
to
transit
points
and
then
I
think
I'm
going
to
wrap
up
with
brian's
last
question:
can
you
share
any
examples
of
innovative
or
exciting
capital
projects
you've
seen
globally
in
the
region
that
you
find
inspiring?
A
No,
I
don't
want
innovative
projects.
I
want
tried
and
true
99
success
rate.
Really
strong
scientific
backing,
I
want
things
I
know
are
going
to
work,
because
when
you're
spending
tax
dollars,
you're
spending
everybody's
money,
if
you
think
about
it,
you
need
kind
of
a
super
consensus
on
what
to
do
and
how
to
where
to
do
it
and
how
to
do
it.
So
I
think
it's
really
crucial
to
find
things
that
are
best
in
class
that
have
stood
the
test
of
time.
A
I
think
of
a
lot
of
spheres
that
we
work
in
whether
it
is
affordable,
housing
or
traffic
calming
there
are
people
who
are
doing
amazing
work
who
can
bring
those
projects
to
fruition
through
grant
funds.
We
work
with.
You
know:
bloomberg
foundation.
Other
people
like
that
to
be
able
to
try
to
test
things
that
are
a
little
bit
more
fringe
that
way,
but
in
terms
of
spending
city
money,
I
want
boring
stuff.
I
want
stuff
that
I
know
is
gonna
last
80
years
and
serve
residents
well,.
E
If
I
can
chime
in
real
quick
on
that,
so
I
think
you
know
you
kind
of
hit
the
nail
on
the
head
with
the
balance
of
the
work
of
our
department,
we're
the
work,
that's
responsible
for
the
core
services,
the
bread
and
butter
of
maintaining
our
assets,
and,
quite
frankly,
we
have
the
infrastructure
of
a
city
that
had
a
population
twice
besides
what
we
have
today,
so
that
responsibility
is,
is
large
but
we're
also
the
department.
E
We
we
also
are
responsible
for
programs
that
make
this
a
place
that
people
want
to
be.
You
know,
people
don't
always
make
decisions
about
where
they
want
to
be,
because
they
know
that
the
infrastructure
is
being
maintained.
E
Perfectly
though
we
want
that
to
be
the
case,
they
also
want
to
move
places
where
they
can
walk,
where
they
can
get
to
a
grocery
store,
where
their
kids
are
safe,
getting
and
playing.
You
know
outside
of
their
homes,
and
we
are
the
department
that
can
help
make
that
a
reality,
and
so
the
the
innovative
work
that
we
do
is
in
how
we
improve
the
safety
of
our
roadways
and
use
new
devices.
You
know
we,
we
we're
the
first
department
to
bring
many
traffic
circles
to
the
city,
we're
experimenting
with
speed
cushions.
E
There
are
innovative
projects
that
have
happened
here,
for
example
the
I-579
cat
project
that
took
a
major
roadway
and
covered
it,
and
now
we
have
a
park
that
that
is
deserving
of
some
major
activation,
so
that
people
can
really
benefit
from
that
that
additional
green
space-
and
I
want
us
to
be
really
innovative
in
how
we
do
our
core
services.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
really
strategic
in
how
we
spend
money
so
that
we
can
have
them
go
as
far
as
possible.
E
A
part
of
the
department's
work
that
we
weren't
able
to
go
into
tonight,
because,
quite
frankly,
we
don't
put
capital
money
into
it,
but
is
quite
innovative
and
and
pioneering
is
our
work
with
mood
pgh.
So
the
mobility
is
a
service
program
that
brought
scooters
to
the
city
and
also
made
easier
connections
between
public
transit
scooters
bikes
car
share
by
getting
the
industry,
to
put
it
all
into
one
digital
location.
The
transit,
app
and
domi
works
to
implement
the
physical
location
of
co-locating.
E
E
Money
is
set
aside
to
go
into
infrastructure
improvements,
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
ways
that
we
are
pioneering
as
a
department
and
as
a
city
that
is
directly
translating
into
benefit
for
our
residents
in
our
city
that
we're
able
to
do
without
actually
having
to
spend
city
dollars
on
it,
at
least
not
initially.
And
so
I
think
that's
one
of
the
ways
that
we've
really
been
able
to
to
advance
and
innovate
without
necessarily
having
to
directly
invest
in
it
by
working
with
private
sector
partners
when
possible.
For
for
programs.
A
That's
a
really
good
point,
I
think
also
innovation
can
come
in
and
people
just
changing
their
minds.
Like
I
said
I've
been
here
seven
years
there
was,
I
I've,
seen
a
specific
council
member
go
from
anti-bike
to
pro-bike
infrastructure,
just
because
they
realize
that's
what
the
to
director
lucas's
point.
That's
what
the
young
families
in
their
neighborhood
want.
That's
what
drives
the
real
estate
market
is
having
something
that's
bikeable,
having
something
that's
walkable
that
doesn't
require
a
car
to
get.
A
You
know
bread
and
a
coffee
on
a
saturday
or
to
get
your
kids
to
school,
so
those
elements
are
really
important,
but
sometimes
innovation
is
kind
of
a
hearts
and
minds
campaign
with
with
people
understanding
kind
of
what
the
public
wants
and
what
it
means
to
live
in
a
city.
A
So
we're
going
to
look
at
the
survey
in
just
a
little
bit,
but
just
so
you
understand
what
we
do
with
those
survey
results.
We
do
a
summary
of
all
the
results
as
part
of
the
capital
budget
each
year.
It's
just
part
of
kind
of
our
outreach
summary
for
the
whole
process.
We
make
sure
that
we're
sharing
the
data
on
how
people
are
responding
to
the
prompts
in
the
survey.
A
We
also
again,
I'm
going
to
show
you
in
a
little
bit
tag
the
responses
by
department,
sometimes
by
project
type
oftentimes
by
council
office,
and
then
we
share
out
a
master
list
with
all
the
responses.
So
the
departments,
the
council
offices,
can
just
filter
for
things
that
are
germane
to
them.
They
may
want
to
put
a
request
in
for
the
2023
capital
budget
and
then
all
the
conversation
we've
had
today
we're
gonna
we've
taken
some
notes.
A
We've
got
a
great
kind
of
chat
going
already,
but
we'll
go
backwards
through
that
and
and
talk
through
how
we
can
move
some
of
the
information
and
the
questions
are
put
forth
like
marimba's
points
to
the
right
people
to
make
sure
that
those
those
get
followed
up
on
for
possible
capital
projects
in
2023,
but
yeah
our
main
tool
right
now
in
terms
of
outreach,
is
engage
pgh.
We
have
a
specific
page
set
up
for
the
2023
capital
budget.
It's
just
engage.pittsburghpa.gov.
A
Once
you're
on
the
engage
website,
there's
a
couple
ways
to
find
our
page
right
now,
we've
got
a
really
nice
placement
on
top
row
right
here,
2023
city
of
pittsburgh
budgets,
but
you
can
always
use
the
search
bar
to
search
for
budget
when
you
can
also
look
for
projects
happening
in
your
your
neck
of
the
woods
by
using
those
kind
of
cardinal
directions
as
well,
but
we'll
just
take
a
quick
tour
of
this
year's
capital
and
operating
budget
engage
pages.
There's
links
on
the
side.
A
If
you
want
to
register
for
the
two
meetings
next
week,
you
can
do
that
right
here.
You
can
also
check
out
the
budgets
themselves.
There's
videos
from
last
year's
meetings,
there's
some
really
great
resources
and
interesting
tools
available
to
you
through
balancing
act,
we're
going
to
try
to
pump
those
pretty
hard
again
during
that
time
period
between
the
preliminary
budget
and
the
the
final
budget.
A
We
can
actually
put
put
that
into
that
system
and
you
have
the
opportunity
to
to
do
our
jobs
and
move
funding
around
to
different
projects
that
match
your
priorities,
and
then
we
have,
you
know
who's
listening
and
how
to
get
in
touch
with
us.
If
you
have
any
questions,
but
one
of
the
big
tools
on
here,
in
addition
to
the
timeline
too,
I
forgot
about
that
is
the
two
surveys.
A
So
there's
an
operating
and
capital
budget
survey,
we
try
to
keep
it
pretty
simple,
but
as
impactful
as
possible,
this
was
the
map
that
was
described
earlier.
You
have
the
opportunity
to
add
a
marker
for
a
specific
capital
projects.
Need
you
may
see
in
your
neighborhood.
Maybe
for
you
know
the
strip
district.
Do
you
want
to
see
bike
infrastructure?
You
can
type
that
in
here
and
provide
your
email
address.
A
You
also
have
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
just
overall
in
the
city
what
types
of
projects
you
want
to
see
more
funding
go
towards.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
on
this
specific
corner.
I
want
to
see
a
new
ada
ramp.
It
can
be.
I
just
want
to
see
better
public
sidewalks
in
the
city
overall,
we'll
record
that
data
and
use
these
these
data
points
as
part
of
our
scoring
for
public
support.
Whenever
we
get
a
project
proposal
in
for
public
sidewalks
and
then
again,
these
are
all
the
mayor's
2023
capital
budget
priorities.
A
You
can
read
through
them
and
give
your
own
feedback
about
how
they
kind
of
align
with
your
values
and
what
you
want
to
see
for
the
city
next
year.
There's
some
demographic
information
at
the
end
I
know.
Sometimes
it
feels
a
little
bit
icky
trying
to
fill
out
some
of
this
demographic
information,
there's
nothing
to
tie
it
back
to
anything.
We
can't
find
you
through
through
your
survey
responses.
What
this
does
do
is.
Let
us
know
how
accurate
we
are.
A
We
want
to
make
sure
that
who's
responding
to
this
survey
and
to
other
public
outreach
data
points.
As
representative
of
pittsburgh
overall
to
director
lucas's
point
that
they've
made
multiple
times
during
tonight's
meeting,
oftentimes,
the
people
most
in
need
have
the
least
amount
of
resources
to
be
able
to
ask
for
help.
So
we
don't
want
public
input
only
to
be
the
driver.
We
want
to
use
condition
assessment
and
then
for
the
data
we
do
get
from
the
public.
A
This
is
kind
of
the
back
end
spreadsheet
that
we've
gotten
responses
two
years
ago
to
increase
the
funding
for
the
green
boulevard
plan
and,
as
you
can
see
in
the
2021
budget,
that
turned
into
funding
for
that
that
really
important
strip
district
connection,
that's
being
established,
that's
going
to
be
a
really
interesting
project,
it's
going
to
take
a
while
to
do,
but
I'm
excited
to
see
it
kind
of
coming
to
fruition.
A
This
is
some
other
information
we'd
like
to
share
just
in
terms
of
letting
you
know
kind
of
for
the
for
the
survey
responses
we
got
in
2022.
That's
this
pie
on
the
right
hand,
side
you
can
see
the
color
coding
for
different
project
types.
The
big
ones
are,
this
kind
of
orange
38
is
engineering
and
construction
in
this
blue.
This
48
is
is
facility,
improvement
and
a
lot
of
the
domi
projects
are
in
this
orange
engineering
and
construction.
A
A
lot
of
dpw
projects
are
in
this
blue
for
facility
improvement
and
then
looking
at
the
2023,
I'm
sorry
2022
capital
budget
allocations.
You
can
see
that
there
is
some
parity
between
what
we
funded
and
what
was
commented
on
in
the
public
survey.
So
we
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
we
we
are
listening.
We
do
take
all
of
your
suggestions
to
heart.
A
We
try
to
share
them
to
the
right
people
and
we
try
to
reflect
your
your
will
and
your
voice
in
the
survey,
the
meetings
and
our
scoring
of
the
projects
whenever
we're
making
recommendations
to
the
mayor's
office.
So
just
to
close
out,
we
want
to
give
you
some
additional
tools.
I
need
to
remove
perks,
berg's
eye
view.
I
think
it's
officially
offline.
It
was
a
great
tool
we
had
for
a
while.
A
That
was
a
layer
that
showed
all
of
the
capital
projects
that
were
kind
of
live
in
the
city,
but,
as
always,
you
can
reach
out
to
311
that's
their
twitter
handle.
If
you
have
any
questions
about
specific
infrastructure
or
concerns,
you
want
to
share
that's
the
fastest
way
to
get
into
city
hands.
I
have
some
of
these
people's
email
addresses
and
phone
numbers,
and
I
still
use
3-1-1.
So
3-1-1
is
a
great
resource.
A
As
always,
please
please,
please
feel
comfortable
and
confident
talking
to
your
elected
officials
about
what
you
want
to
see
in
next
year's
budget.
That's
part
of
the
job
so
feel
comfortable
doing
that,
and
then
we're
going
to
be
launching
it's
already
up
now,
but
we're
going
to
be
really
promoting
and
launching
in
the
fall
balancing
act,
which
again
is
that
kind
of
budget
simulator
that
will
allow
you
to
move
the
money
around.
So
you
can
give
us
feedback
on
the
mayor's
preliminary
budget
in
ways
that
hopefully
improve
it
for
the
final
budget
in
november.
A
Stop
sharing,
if
not
again,
I
really
want
to
thank
our
asl
interpreter.
I
want
to
thank
the
neighborhood
services
team.
I
want
to
thank
inp.
I
know
that
they've
they've
got
personal
lives
too,
and
they
stay
extra
and
stay
late
and
come
in
early
for
a
lot
of
these
meetings
to
help
facilitate
connections
between
our
teams
and
the
public.
That
really
could
not
happen.
Otherwise.
So
again,
thanks
to
all
three
of
those
parties
for
your
work
on
this
and
thanks
to
domi,
they
always
do
such
amazing
day-to-day
work.
A
But
it's
really
interesting
for
me
as
a
resident
just
to
sit
back
and
listen
to
some
of
the
innovation
they've
been
coming
up
with
in
the
past
year.
I'm
excited
to
see
what
their
proposals
are
for
2023,
with
that
I'm
going
to
close
out
again,
if
you
have
any
questions,
feel
free
to
email
us
at
cip,
pittsfordpa.gov
thanks
have
a
good
night.
