A
Good
evening
my
name
is
David
Hutchinson
I'm,
the
assistant
director
for
capital
and
asset
management,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
management
budget
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
Welcome
to
the
first
of
our
three
2021
capital
budget,
public
meetings,
there's
two
main
goals
with
these
meetings.
One
is
so
that
city
residents
can
learn
about
how
the
capital
budget
is
created.
The
other
is
so
that
the
city
can
get
input
from
the
public
on
what
they
want
included
in
the
capital
budget
for
2021.
A
If
you've
been
to
our
meetings
before
in
years
past,
unfortunately,
due
to
working
from
home
and
other
restrictions,
we
are
switching
up
the
format,
so
our
old
format,
we
would
have
to
kind
of
citywide
meetings
that
talked
about
the
entire
capital
budget.
We
move
the
meetings
around
to
different
neighborhoods
year
after
year
to
make
sure
that
we
had
geographic
diversity
and
we
followed
a
really
great
format
called
deliberative
democracy.
That's
really
been
pioneered
by
Robert
Cavalier
at
Carnegie
Mellon.
It
included
small
group
discussions.
Three
really
important
discussion.
A
Questions
moderated
table
discussions
where
you
got
the
opportunity
to
learn
from
your
neighbors
and
people
from
other
communities
about
how
they
interact
with
capital
budget
infrastructure.
We
also
have
childcare
and
pierogies
normally
at
those
meetings.
Unfortunately,
this
year,
you'll
have
to
make
the
protease
at
home
yourself
we're
switching
to
three
digital
meetings
this
year.
The
good
news
is,
it
offers
us
opportunity
to
really
dive
a
little
bit
deeper
on
some
of
the
key
portions
of
the
capital
budget.
So,
for
example,
tonight's
meeting
we're
going
to
focus
on
transportation
projects.
A
A
If
you
enjoy
this
meeting
that
we're
gonna,
be
sharing
it
to
YouTube
in
a
day
or
two,
so
you
can
share
it
to
anybody
else
in
social
media
things
like
that,
so
they
can
experience
the
same
meeting
and
I
also
want
to
extend
a
sincere
thank
you
to
the
Office
of
Community
Affairs,
the
department
of
innovation
and
performance,
our
interpreter
Nick,
Miller
who's
on
the
call
with
us
right
now.
This
is
all
kind
of
a
learning
experience
for
everybody,
but
they've
really
been
great
partners
and
getting
these
meetings
off
the
ground.
A
So
two
notes
about
Nick
to
make
sure
that
we
can
see
him
is
that
you
want
to
make
sure
that
your
audio
is
muted
and
your
videos
turned
off
that'll
help
make
sure
that
Nick
kind
of
rises
to
the
top
for
a
lot
of
people's
views.
Also
city
people,
government
people
are
notorious
for
overusing
acronyms.
So
if
you
hear
something
that
you
don't
recognize,
feel
free
to
just
type
out
a
comment
and
I'll
try
to
address
it.
My
twenty
twenty
new
year's
resolution
is
less
acronyms.
So
please
PLEASE
hold
me
to
that
at
this
point.
A
Okay
sounds
good
so
for
tonight's
itinerary,
there's
kind
of
four
parts
to
the
meeting:
I'm
gonna
do
maybe
a
10
or
15
minute
overview
of
the
capital
budget
process.
Then
we're
gonna
get
a
presentation
with
some
amazing
pictures.
It's
not
going
to
be
all
charts
and
texts
from
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure.
They're
gonna
explain
some
great
details
on
the
big
projects
that
you
may
be
seeing
in
the
capital
budget
from
their
department.
A
We're
also
going
to
have
a
question
and
answer
session,
where
you
can
ask
questions
about
the
capital
budget
process
itself
or
questions
about
specifically
department,
mobility
and
infrastructure
projects,
and
then
we're
gonna
wrap
up
with
some
further
opportunities
for
input.
This
is
definitely
not
your
last
chance
to
have
your
voice
heard
in
the
development
of
the
2021
capital
budget
for
tonight's
meeting.
We're
looking
for
a
few
really
important
outcomes.
One
is
survey
results
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
A
We're
gonna
ask
you
to
complete
a
quick
survey
that
includes
what
you
want
to
see
in
the
capital
budget.
We
take
that
information
and
we
actually
publish
it
as
part
of
the
capital
budget.
We
also
share
it
with
departments
and
city
council
offices.
This
is
really
important,
because
sometimes
we
get
project
ideas
exactly
from
this
kind
of
input.
We
also
have
to
provide
that
information
for
council
and
for
the
mayor's
office,
so
they
understand
where
the
public
support
is
for
various
projects.
A
Also,
your
questions
for
the
expert
panel
also
provide
a
great
opportunity
for
the
Department
of
mobility
infrastructure
to
maybe
rethink
some
things
or
doe
up
a
new
proposal
based
on
input
from
this
meeting,
and,
of
course,
everything
again
is
going
to
be
shared
with
city
council
office
and
published
on
YouTube.
So
first
we
want
to
talk
about
the
two
budgets
that
the
city
has.
The
operating
budget
takes
care
of
a
lot
of
the
day-to-day
expenses
that
the
city
pays
for
those
can
be
employee
salaries
and
benefits.
A
Things
like
uniforms,
office
supplies
utility
bills
for
our
facilities.
The
capital
budget
that
we're
gonna
discuss
tonight
is
really
more
about
the
built
environment.
It's
the
physical
infrastructure
that
the
city
owns
and
operates
things
like
streets,
sidewalks
parks,
pools,
playgrounds,
bridges,
ball
fields,
all
that
good
stuff.
If
you're
on
the
city's
website
and
you're
and
you're
looking
at
the
budgets,
they
also
have
different
covers
the
the
operating
budget.
As
you
know,
that's
kind
of
lovely
seemed
from
Washington's
landing.
I
think
our
budget
is
a
little
bit
more
dynamic.
A
We
get
this
kind
of
Avengers
scene,
which
I
definitely
appreciate.
So
thank
you,
Bill
Urbanek,
for
getting
us
the
cool
cover
on
that
one,
the
capital
budget
itself,
it's
important
to
keep
in
mind,
even
though
we're
discussing
2021
it
really
extends
for
six
years.
Larger
projects
can
take
millions
of
dollars
in
multiple
years
to
complete,
so
we
build
what's
called
a
CIP
or
a
capital
improvement
plan.
A
A
The
capital
budget
timeline
were
kind
of
smack
in
the
middle
of
it.
In
April,
we
had
the
mayor
released
their
priorities.
We
our
office,
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget,
released
the
request
for
proposals.
The
proposal
form
in
May
right
now
we're
going
through
our
public
hearings.
We
want
public
input,
so
we're
gonna
have
three
of
those
and
manage
alive.
The
department's
and
council
offices
can
submit
their
proposals.
A
The
process
of
developing
the
capital
budget
is
really
driven
by
the
capital
program
facilitation
committee
that
includes
members
of
the
mayor's
Office
of
Management
and
Budget,
the
C
Council
Budget
Office,
the
controller's
office
and
directors
from
departments
that
carry
out
capital
projects
like
Department
of
mobility
and
Infrastructure
Public
Works.
We
also
have
council
representation
from
a
couple
City
Council
members
themselves
on
the
CTF
scene.
A
So
speaking
of
the
mayor's
budget
priorities,
these
are
in
no
particular
order.
They're
really
meant
to
inspire
proposal,
ideas
from
department
leadership.
The
priorities
are
the
guiding
values
for
the
capital
budget
process,
so
they're
set
by
the
mayor.
They
help
the
departments
understand
what
the
mayor
is.
A
Looking
for
and
they're
shared
with
department
directors,
council
offices
pretty
early
in
the
capital
budget
process,
today
we're
going
to
be
asking
you
to
think
about
these
priorities
and
whether
you
believe
there
are
additional
values
that
should
guide
of
the
city
invests
in
its
infrastructure
in
lieu
of
reading,
through
the
specific
descriptions
for
each
priority.
I'm
going
to
show
you
later
on
in
the
survey
how
you
can
read
through
them
all
and
give
your
own
rating
of
their
importance
to
you.
Personally.
The
capital
budget
proposal
form,
like
I
said,
was
released
in
May.
A
There's
some
really
important
information
that
we
ask
for
from
the
departments
we're
money
people.
So
we
of
course
want
to
know
what
the
projects
are
going
to
cost,
not
just
in
2021
but
the
out
years.
A
lot
of
our
bigger
projects,
especially
things
that
domi
works
on,
may
have
one
year
for
planning
one
or
two
years
for
design
two
to
four
years
for
construction.
So
it's
really
important
that
we
understand
that
by
committing
to
this
planning
project,
we're
also
committing
to
the
construction
the
few
years
down
the
line.
A
A
All
are
the
chemicals
of
the
maintenance
to
keep
that
pool
going.
We
also
have
some
projects
that
really
help
us
save
money
on
the
operating
budget.
We've
had
some
great
technology
improvements
recently
that
that
reduced
the
amount
of
labor
that
we
need
to
do
things
like
open
envelopes,
so
we're
able
to
get
those
kind
of
projects
in
that
have
a
true
positive
operating
budget
impact.
A
We
want
to
make
sure
that
departments
are
able
to
call
out
those
details
in
terms
of
how
the
capital
program
facilitation
committee
evaluates
proposals,
there's
actually
eight
scoring
categories
that
are
mandated
by
city
code.
If
you
want
to
find
out
more
information
about
that,
you
can
check
out
chapter
218
of
city
code,
the
once
the
departments
in
City
Council
have
submitted
the
proposals,
they're
all
evaluated
and
scored
by
a
subset
of
that
capital
program
facilitation
committee.
A
That
includes
members
of
the
mayor's
office
of
management
and
budget,
including
myself,
two
members
from
Council
budget
office,
including
Bill
Urbanek,
and
a
member
from
the
controllers
office.
The
team
scores
all
the
proposals
that
we
receive
against
the
criteria
on
the
screen
and
then
I
sort
the
scores
from
highest
to
lowest
I
apply
this
year's
funding
constraints
because,
unfortunately
we
don't
have
enough
money
to
do
everything
we
want
to
do
so.
A
B
Hopefully
you
all
can
see
my
screen
so
I'm,
the
director
of
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure,
also
on
line
with
us,
is
Michael
Malik,
who
is
the
lead
project
manager
for
our
signal
infrastructure
and
currently,
thanks
to
the
happy
event
of
a
recent
birth
in
our
department,
he's
also
serving
as
a
stunt
double
acting
municipal
traffic
engineer
for
the
city.
So
we
can
discuss
more
about
traffic
as
we
as
we
get
into
the
questions
for
panelists.
B
I'm
gonna
try
and
leave
my
screen
forward
there
we
go
the
mission
of
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
is
here.
It's
we
take
as
our
mission
to
provide
the
physical
mobility
necessary
to
support
the
social
and
economic
mobility
of
the
people
of
Pittsburgh
through
the
management,
design,
improvement
and
operation
of
the
public
rights-of-way.
B
They
need
public
mobility
options
to
do
that
and
well-maintained
infrastructure,
we're
driven
by
five
principles
that
we've
adopted,
as
as
the
core
of
the
work
that
the
department
does,
first
and
foremost,
that
no
one
dies
or
seriously
injured
traveling
on
city
streets.
We
we
think
about
this
in
a
very
simple
way,
which
is
that
streets
and
intersections
are
very
intuitive
to
use
even
by
adolescent.
B
So
if
we
can
put
the
12
year
old
or
13
year
old,
that
we
love
most
out
on
our
public
streets,
that
we
feel
confident
that
they
can
safely
traverse
them
in
our
city.
Secondly,
that
every
resident
can
access
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables
within
20
minutes
Travel
of
home,
and
they
do
not
require
a
private
automobile
to
do
that
very
important,
especially
in
this
day,
and
that's
really
about
access
all
trips
less
than
one
mile
are
easy
and
enjoyable
to
achieve
by
non
vehicle.
B
Travel
about
40%
of
the
motor
vehicle
trips
that
are
made
in
our
city
are
less
than
2
miles
in
distance.
So
if
we
can
can
change
that
and
make
those
short
distance
trips
more
attractive
and
easier
to
make
without
needing
to
drive
and
own
a
private
automobile,
which
is
a
tremendous
expense
that
can
really
have
profound
environmental
and
equity
considerations
for
us
number
4
that
no
household
needs
to
spend
more
than
45%
of
their
income
on
basic
housing,
transportation
and
energy
costs.
B
B
We
oversee
a
tremendous
number
of
assets
and
are
responsible
for
quite
a
bit
of
operations
on
the
city
streets,
so
just
some
quick
statistics
thousand
miles
of
local
streets,
1,
600,
signalized,
intersections
60,000
street
lights,
120,
locally
maintained,
bridges,
70
miles
of
trails
and
bicycle
facilities.
Right
now,
we
hope
to
increase
that
800-plus
sets
of
public
stares.
B
Hundreds
of
thousands
of
street
signs
tens
of
thousands
of
pavement
markings,
60,000
right-of-way
permits
are
issued
every
year
by
the
staff,
we're
also
responsible
for
landslides,
flood
medication
of
certain
sorts
traffic
calming
and
overall
mobility
planning
and
coordination
with
the
other
mobility
providers
in
our
cities,
such
as
the
Port
Authority,
we
do
have
a
number.
So
if
we
page
through
the
capital
budget,
which
I
encourage
you
to
do
and
I'm
sure
David
does
as
well.
B
Sorry
I
need
to
move
the
video
of
you
all
bridges
and
retaining
walls.
So
structural
features
are
some
of
the
largest
and
most
expensive
assets
that
we
have
so
looking
at
them.
We
have
about.
20%
of
our
bridges
are
structurally
deficient.
That
doesn't
mean
that
they're
unsafe
to
travel
over.
We
keep
them
safe
for
your
use,
but
it
does
mean
that
they're
in
need
of
some
significant
maintenance
to
really
bring
them
up
to
par
so
I'm
thinking
about
of
those
120
that
were
responsible
for
of
the
great
many
that
require
certain
investments
in
them.
B
How
are
we
going
to
make
these
determinations,
so
we
think
about
them,
in
terms
of
which
ones
do
need
those
critical
safety
upgrades
where
you
know
a
dime
I'm.
Sorry,
a
dollar
spent
today
saves
us
thousands
of
dollars
in
the
future.
We
look
at
those
in
terms
of
the
asset
condition
and
we
keep
a
very
robust
asset
condition
inventory,
particularly
of
our
large
bridges
and
we're
getting
better
about
understanding
those
small
span,
bridges
that
we
have
those
that
are
less
than
20
feet
in
distance.
B
We
think
about
the
return
on
investment,
so
if
the
maintenance
that
we
expend
now
can
really
extend
the
asset
life
of
the
bridge,
that
that
is
a
wise
investment
to
make.
Occasionally,
we
do
have
some
structures
for
which
we
really
need
to
contemplate.
Is
it
worth
that
investment
to
maintain
that
asset,
or
is
it
perhaps
time
to
think
about
alternate
routes
and
other
ways
which
is
the
third,
the
last
bullet?
And
then
we
also
look
at
the
vehicle
volumes.
B
Excuse
me
in
the
non
motorized
volumes
that
are
using
so
a
very
heavily
used
bridge,
particularly
those
that
carry
transit,
those
that
carry
a
larger
number
of
person,
trips
on
them,
ranked
much
higher
in
our
prioritization
rubric
than
those
that
are
that
are
smaller
and
again.
This
is
in
a
financially
constrained
environment,
where
we
need
to
make
those
decisions
and
those
that
have
available
alternative
routes.
So
some
of
our
bridges,
if
that
bridge
were
to
be
closed,
would
require
a
very
long
diversion
to
get
around
it
and
others.
B
There
are
redundant
routes
not
too
far
away,
and
so
we
need
to
give
that
some
consideration
as
well
as
we
think
about
these.
But
these
are
generally
large-scale
investments
bridge
and
retaining
wall
investments
our
average.
You
know
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
into
the
millions
of
dollars
that
we
need
to
do
even
the
the
critical
safety
upgrades
on
them
and
they
often
are
multi-year
project.
So
we'll
need
to
design
the
improvements
in
one
year
to
have
the
capital
budget
available
in
the
following
year
for
implementation
for
planning
and
mobility.
B
These
may
be
corridor
studies.
These
may
be
neighborhood
studies.
These
may
be
citywide
strategic
planning
efforts,
but
trying
to
prioritize
those
efforts
that
we
expend
capital
budget
so
that
we
can
really
lay
us
Foundation
for
subsequent
decisions
that
we
make
and
improvements
are
all
sort
of
hunk
hanging
together
in
a
well
orchestrated
plan.
B
It's
one
that
was
just
introduced
a
couple
of
years
ago
that
will
be
began,
began
working
on
this
and
has
become
highly
in
demand,
really
an
indication
of
the
quality
of
life
issues
that
people
are
seeing
in
their
communities,
and
so
we
have
easily
in
any.
Given
year
we
have
about
20
times
the
number
of
traffic
calming
requests.
B
Then
the
budget
really
permits
the
good
news
about
traffic.
Calming
is
relative
to
projects
such
as
bridges.
It's
it's,
it's
per
project
costs
are,
can
be
quite
quite
less
than
a
bridge,
but
there
are
a
great
number
of
them.
Traffic
calming
projects
usually
can
be
both
designed
and
implemented
in
the
same
year,
depending
on
the
complexity
of
the
project.
B
We
do
know
that
there
are
communities,
particularly
our
vulnerable
communities,
who
are
less
likely
to
raise
concern
in
their
neighborhoods
than
others,
and
so
in
those
instances
we
really
look
again
at
crash
statistics,
safety
statistics,
traffic
volume,
speed
data.
We
do
look
at
the
cost-benefit
analysis
and
that
cost-benefit
again
really
relates
to
the
vulnerable
users
first
and
foremost,
because
that's
who
who
traffic
calming
is
about
so
if
they
are
approximate
to
schools
where
we
have
younger
people
traveling.
B
If
they're
proximate
to
parks,
if
the
approximate
does
senior,
centers
and
centers
of
worship,
these
are
places
where
we
tend
to
see
more
people
on
foot,
and
we
know
that
that
that's
really
where
we
can
experience
our
more
profound
injuries.
So
as
we
think
about
prioritizing
traffic
calming
projects
and
programming
those,
we
try
to
look
for
serving
first,
those
more
vulnerable
populations
and
really
so
the
more
transit
dependent
populations,
the
more
walk
dependent
populations
and
the
places
that
have
a
history
of
safety
or
speeding
concerns.
B
B
What
we
do
have
safety
concerns.
We
look
at
things,
sidewalk
width.
Is
it
in
a
business
district
or
a
well-used
Street,
where
there's
a
density
of
pedestrians
in
that
area?
Are
there
other
planned
projects
in
the
area
that
we
can
leverage
off
of
and
try
and
really
maximize
that
investment?
Can
we
integrate
with
bicycle
and
transit
safety
as
well
an
accommodation
for
those
modes?
We
do
look
to
stakeholder
coordination
and
again
that
input
food
through
deliberative
democracy
sessions.
B
Like
this
feasibility
is
a
concern,
is
there
really
an
intervention
that
is
meaningful,
that
we
can
do
here
or
not
working
with
our
sister
agencies,
such
as
the
Department
of
City
Planning,
and
then
looking
at
things
like
the
impact
of
parking
signal,
upgrades
and
installs
my
clothes
here
and
can
can
go
on
at
length
about
the
signal
needs
that
we
have,
but
again,
660
signal
is
a
good
number
of
them
that
could
use
major
capital
investments.
We
need
to
prioritize
among
them.
B
So
as
we
make
determinations,
we
look
at
what
is
the
condition
of
that
asset
relative
to
the
rest
of
the
inventory
that
we
have?
Are
there
a
history
of
safety
concerns
in
this
area
that
we
really
need
to
address
the
volume
of
travelers
that
are
managed
again,
some
intersections
have
a
higher
intensity
of
use,
others
a
little
bit
less.
Are
there
corridor
operations
that
we
need
to
keep
into
account
that
we
need
to
actually
improve
a
series
of
signals
in
order
to
have
the
impact
that
we're
we're
desiring?
B
You
know,
are
we
really
giving
some
some
consideration
of
geographic
distribution,
because
we
do
have
a
significant
number
of
these
across
the
city
that
are
in
need?
Is
there
community
support,
particularly
for
new
signals
or
change
of
operations
in
the
signals
and
again
concurrent
investments?
Where
can
we
find
some
economies
of
scale?
Where
can
we
get
a
little
bit
more
value
for
the
investment
that
we're
giving
trails?
Are
an
area,
particularly
not
trails
within
parks?
Those
really
cope
fall
to
the
DPW
to
maintain
but
trails
that
are
more
of
the
recreational
trails.
B
The
commuter
trails,
the
larger
asset,
district
trails
that
we
have
so
on
these
kinds
of
prioritization.
We
look
to
do
we
have
control
of
the
right-of-way
or
or
could
will
we
will
we
potentially
be
able
to
control
the
right-of-way?
Is
the
topography
appropriate
for
it?
Does
it
lend
to
connectivity?
Does
it
fill
a
critical
gap
that
we
have?
What
is
the
anticipated
ridership
of
this
or
the
usage
of
this
trail?
We
want
to
invest,
of
course,
where
we
get
the
maximum
utilization
of
it.
B
Stakeholder
coordination,
the
technical
complexity
of
it
is
it
something
that
we
can
build
in
the
near
future
is
something
that
is
going
to
take
a
few
years.
Perhaps
some
planning
up
front
even
before
we
get
to
design
before
we
should
advance
it.
Is
it
consistent
with
the
bicycle
and
pedestrian
safety
plan?
And
again
you
know
we're
really
taking
a
strong
equity
lens
to
all
of
the
prioritizations
across
here.
Are
there
communities
of
need
that
really
need
that
connectivity
that
have
more
limited
mobility
options
available
to
them?
Flood
control
is
a
capital
budget
item.
B
It's
a
it's
a
bit
of
an
unusual
topic,
because
there
are
many
different
state
entities
as
well
as
sort
of
you
know,
regional
watershed
entities
that
are
involved
in
this,
but
we
do
have
capital
budget
for
flood
control.
In
this
case,
we
do
need
to
think
about
jurisdiction.
Do
we
have
the
ability
to
actually
alter
or
improve
this
waterway
and
what
aspects
of
it
can
we
do
to
address
that
flooding?
What
is
the
actual
impact
of
the
flooding?
What
is
happening
as
a
consequence
of
it?
Is
it
impacting
critical
roadways?
Is
it?
Is
it?
B
Does
it
have
a
broader
effect
than
just
the
local
immediate
area?
Is
it
feasible
for
us
to
really
address
it,
given
the
resources
that
might
be
available
to
us?
Are
the
interventions
cost-effective
that
would
be
open
to
us
and
over
there
cost-sharing
opportunities
which,
in
a
project
like
this,
is
really
important
to
us,
because,
again,
flood
control
projects
can
be
usually
are
very,
very
expensive
to
implement,
and
they
are
lengthy
projects
start
to
finish
on
many
of
our
flood
control
projects
or
about
five
years.
B
B
These
are
amazing,
unique,
wonderful,
special
assets
that
we
have
in
the
city
and
there's
a
lot
of
them,
and
unfortunately,
many
of
them
are
in
need
of
more
than
a
little
bit
of
Karen
feeding,
and
so
fortunately,
David
was
a
part
of
a
activity
that
we
did
a
few
years
ago,
where
we
actually
developed
a
rubric
for
prioritization
of
our
public
steps
assets,
and
so,
as
we
prioritize
these,
we
look
not
only
to
a
set
condition.
Does
it
need
investment?
Some
of
them
are
in
better
condition
than
others,
but
we
also
look
at.
B
Does
it
connect
major
destinations?
Is
this
the
corridor
that
links
a
density
of
residents
to
schools
or
employment
or
high
quality
transit?
Again,
if
this
set
of
public
stairs
was
closed,
what
is
the
alternate
route
that
they
would
need
to
take?
Sometimes
it's
a
very
short
distance
that
they
can
still
make
the
connection
other
times
we
can
be
talking
about
a
mile
or
more
if
those
stairs
are
closed
and
that
that
obviously
is
unacceptable.
When
you're
talking
about
pedestrians,
we
look
again
at
quotable
geographic
distribution,
because
the
need
is
so
great.
We
do
want
to.
B
You
know
spread
that
out
and
then
just
rough
cost-benefit
analysis
again
these
are
structures,
many
of
them,
and
so
we
are
talking
about
generally.
A
larger
dollar
amount
for
a
large
scale
improvement.
So
these
are
steps
projects
range
from
about
$100,000
to
slightly
over
a
million
dollars
for
the
steps
projects
that
we've
done
now.
Some
of
them
can
be
done.
The
smaller
improvements,
railings
and
you
know,
a
flight
or
a
couple
of
treads
of
steps
to
be
repaired
can
be
done
in
the
same
year
that
that
investment
is
programmed
in
the
capital
budget.
B
Others
do
require
design
work
and
the
design
work
usually
takes
seven
to
nine
months,
and
so
it's
our
preference
to
fund
the
design
in
one
year
and
then
fun.
The
capital
improvement
in
subsequent
years
street
resurfacing
are
much
beloved
asphalt.
Streets
are
a
very
large
investment
that
we
make
annually
this.
This
tends
to
be
as
much
as
we
can
carve
out
as
much
as
David
and
his
team
can
carve
out
from
all
of
the
other
demands
of
the
capital
budget
to
put
into
street
resurfacing.
B
We,
as
I
said,
have
about
a
thousand
miles
of
public
streets
that
were
responsible
for
best.
Practice
is
to
resurface
asphalt
streets
every
ten
years
or
so,
which
means
that
we
should
be
resurfacing
about
a
hundred
miles
of
streets
a
year
to
keep
pace
with
sort
of
the
degradation
of
that
material.
We
really
tend
to
average.
For
a
long
time.
We
were
averaging
only
about
thirty
miles
of
streets.
A
year.
B
B
We
determine
those
streets
that
we
do
put
on
the
paving
list,
based
first
and
foremost,
by
street
condition.
So
does
that
Street
need
to
be
resurfaced.
We
do
look
for
equitable
geographic
distribution,
and
in
this
case
we
mean
equitable
and
not
equal.
We
do
try
and
put
our
resources
in
those
districts
that
have
a
higher
proportion
of
the
poor
streets
of
the
city
in
them,
then
we
invest
in
the
areas
that
I
enjoy
slightly
fewer
poor
condition
streets.
B
We
rely
on
the
input
of
DPW
and
their
maintenance
staff
who
are
out
on
the
streets
all
the
time
we
look
at
safety
concerns.
We
look
at
water
and
drainage
concerns
that
are
often
raised
to
us
and
the
nexus
with
other
projects
such
as
utility
coordination
and
traffic
calming
or
Complete
Streets
projects.
I
should
add
that
the
street
resurfacing
program
is
not
just
asphalt,
even
though
that's
the
largest
portion
of
it.
B
The
street
resurfacing
also
includes
investments
in
brick
and
block
stone
streets
as
well
as
concrete
slab
repair
is
all
part
of
that
same
as
well
as
the
pavement
markings
for
restoration
after
street
resurfacing
or
repair
slopes
and
landslides.
A
couple
of
years
ago,
we
had
we
had
far
too
many
of
these.
We
still
see
a
several
each
year
that
occur.
These
are
tremendously
expensive
projects
by
and
large,
to
mitigate
any
time
that
a
structure
such
as
a
retaining
wall
or
an
engineered
slope
is
necessary
to
mitigate
the
landslide.
B
We
really
are
looking
at
600,000
to
about
1.5
million,
so
these
are
large-scale
investments
that
need
to
be
made,
and
so
again
we
rarely
can
afford
to
mitigate
all
of
them
that
come
to
us
in
order
to
prioritize
them,
we
look
at.
Is
there
an
eminent
danger?
Is
this
something
that
really
is
is
a
risk
to
public
safety
or
property?
If
we
don't
mitigate
it,
is
there
a
hazard
to
the
public
right-of-way
in
particular?
B
So
is
that,
is
it
compromising
the
ability
to
use
a
critical
street
or
other
facility
the
impact
on
structures
such
as
such
as
private
homes,
the
complexity
and
the
constructibility
again?
Can
it
really
be
mitigated
some
of
these?
Some
of
these?
We
can't
we
look
at
the
use
of
the
roads.
Some
of
them
are
impacting
higher
volume,
roadways,
more
critical
connections,
others
are
more
minor
streets
and
we
need
to
take
that
into
consideration
again.
We
look
at
alternate
routes
if
we
had
to
close
this
section
of
Street.
B
B
B
State
and
federal
sources
cover
about
95
percent
of
the
cost,
and
the
local
budget
only
needs
to
bear
five
percent
of
the
cost.
So
these
are
lovely
projects
when
you
can
get
them,
but
again,
there's
a
limited
number
of
these
that
we
really
can
advance
into
the
programs
that
are
available
for
us,
and
so
we
do
need
to
prioritize
our
projects
among
them.
These
do
have
federally
determined,
prioritization
criteria
that
we
need
to
look
at,
which
includes
highway
safety
performance
criteria.
Are
they
part
of
the
national
highway
system?
B
We
evaluate
our
projects
against
those
Southwest
codes,
allegic,
commission,
sorry,
I'm
embarrassed
that
it's
how
often
we
use
acronyms
and
then
there's
a
series
of
discretionary
programs
that
are
also
available
through
federal
aid.
So
CMAC
is
a
congestion
mitigation
and
air
quality
program.
Smart
is
a
state-funded
program
that
is
aimed
at
sustainable
infrastructure.
B
The
ta
program
is
a
federal
program
that
is
aimed
again
at
more
urban
types
of
projects
that
are
bicycle
and
pedestrian
transit
in
nature
and
are
in
a
bit
more
less
roadway,
automotive,
oriented
and
more
alternative
mobility,
place,
making
oriented,
and
so
for
those
again,
these
criteria
that
are
required
criteria
for
SPC
and
PennDOT
is
to
look
at
safety,
congestion
reduction
system,
reliability,
freight
movement
and
economic
vitality
in
the
in
the
world
of
the
federal
government.
Freight
is
economic
development
equates
Freight.
A
So
now
we're
going
to
start
our
question-and-answer
section
of
the
program.
If
you
have
any
questions
for
director
Rick's
or
mike
Mayock,
you
can
type
them
out
in
the
group.
Chat
I've
received
two
questions
privately,
which
I'll
go
through
in
just
a
second,
but
I
also
wanted
to
make
space
for
anybody
who
called
in
on
an
on
a
phone
if
they
have
any
questions,
if
you
want
to
unmute
and
ask
those
now,
I'll
just
leave
a
few
seconds
open.
B
A
All
right
so
directrix,
our
first
question
is
related
to
traffic
calming.
They
wrote
that
we
asked
for
Street
bombs
thirty
years
ago
on
a
philia
Street
and
we're
told
that
the
city
would
not
do
them
for
fear
of
legal
suits
from
damaged
cars,
which
sounds
like
a
very
bureaucratic
answer.
So
it's
not
not
that
surprising.
A
My
initial
thoughts
of
two
on
this
one,
one
that
there's
a
certain
physics
that
needs
to
be
satisfied
when
it
comes
to
those
kind
of
interventions
that
there's
certain
areas
where
I
may
not
be
appropriate,
necessarily
to
have,
especially
on
our
steep
streets,
to
have
those
kind
of
interventions.
And
then
also
can
you
talk
through
any
of
the
recent
changes
in
technology
that
may
have
allowed
us
to
assess
projects
differently
or
put
them
in
places
or
maybe
even
try
them
out
like
I'm
out
Washington,
where
we
haven't
had
them
before.
B
B
Sentiment
that
was
that
that
seemed
to
be
prevalent
some
years
ago.
They
they
are
label,
there's
certain
design,
criterias
that
are
meant
speed,
bumps
little
pro
tip
on
the
terminology.
Speed
bumps
are
not
legal
on
city
streets.
Speed
bumps
are
what
you
might
inc
encounter
in
a
rental
car
parking
lot
or
the
airport
parking
structure,
they're
very
jarring
when
you
go
over
them,
they're,
short
and
and
indefinitely
will
take
out
your
axle.
B
B
That
cannot
be
on
very
steep
streets.
We,
you
know,
don't
like
putting
them
immediately
after
along
a
curve,
there's
other
considerations.
If
there's
a
lot
of
transit
traffic
or
emergency
vehicle
traffic
on
these
streets.
You
know
that's
not
a
very
good
experience
for
those
users,
so
there
are
certain
limitations
to
that.
But
there
are
good
news.
Is
there's
other
interventions
that
we
can
use
I'm,
not
sure
about
the
technology
when
we
use
all
kinds
of
data
gathering
so
that
we
do
do
speed
counts?
We
do
volume
counts.
A
B
A
B
B
Can
we
locate
those
curb
cuts
on
the
most
minor
street,
preferably
an
alley?
If
that
is
available
and
functional
in
it?
If
not
that
tertiary
street
then
can
we
can
we
look
at
the
lower
order
streets
before
we
end
up?
You
know
at
the
at
the
most
impactful
one
we
look
at
topography
and
grade
because
there
are
just
certain
realities.
We
look
at
sight
lines
weather
you
know
as
to
where
that
can
be
located
in
which
front
inch
works
there.
B
A
That
made
sense,
we
had
a
question
really
did
a
capital
budget.
Where
does
one
find
the
department's
capital
budget
proposals?
The
proposals
themselves
are
not
published,
but
we
do
include
a
list
of
everything
that
was
proposed
in
the
capital
budget
towards
the
end
I'm
going
to
try
to
share
my
screen.
A
So,
within
the
capital
towards
the
end,
we
have
some
appendices.
There
is
one
it
just
lists
all
of
the
proposals
that
we
received
and
then
also
gives
kind
of
the
score
for
that
proposal.
Sorry,
so
these
are
kind
of
the
top
ranking
proposals
in
here
and
out
of
the
five
people
on
the
scoring
committee
for
the
capital
program
facilitation
committee,
five
out
of
five
people
thought
that
was
a
really
great
worthwhile
project
to
include
in
the
budget,
and
this
includes
everything
that
we
received.
So
you
can
see
they
kind
of
go
down
in
descending
order.
A
Scrolling
back,
how
can
we
find
out
how
much
things
cost
so
we
can
figure
out
what
is
and
isn't
able
to
qualify
as
a
capital
budget
request,
for
example,
things
like
traffic
lights
or
an
intersection,
upgrade
it's
hard
to
make
requests
when
we
don't
know
how
much
a
thing
will
cost
do
you
want
to
talk
since
we
have
Mike
here?
Do
you
talk
about
the
kind
of
variance
we
see,
especially
in
signal
projects.
C
Sorry,
it
took
me
a
second
to
find
that
so
single
projects
are
difficult
to
price
on
the
variant
and
costs.
I
guess
the
short
answer
is
you
can
expect
a
new
traffic
signal
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
to
cost
at
a
minimum
$225,000,
that's
probably
the
best
case
scenario,
depending
on
the
price
of
steel
at
that
time,
as
well
as
whatever
underground
utility
conflicts
we
encountered
during
construction.
C
I've
been
building
signals
for
in
a
signal
for
about
two
years
now
and
there's
not
one
project
where
you
don't
encounter
something
that
we're
not
expecting
or
we
have
to
work
around,
or
you
might
have
to
dig
three
holes
to
find
one
that
will
actually
go
down
to
the
proper
depth
rather
than
ideally,
you
know
getting
it
the
first
time.
Just
you
did
it.
No
one
really
knows
was
underground.
C
So
traffic
signals
are
a
lot
pricier
and
asking
a
lot
of
people
expecting
to
be
in
part
to
do
those
you
know
the
difficulty
of
building
in
a
dense
urban
environment
as
well
as
the
newer
equipment.
That's
out
there
like
it,
helps
us
provide
a
better
product
that
also
generally
cost
more,
and
so
the
the
simplest
answer
is
225
I'm,
trying
to
think
about
incorporating
more
concrete
work
into
some
traffic
signal
jobs
and
those
I'm
anticipating
will
come
back
with
the
cost
about
three
hundred
thousand.
B
Even
if
I
can
just
add
to
that
that
a
good
number
of
our
projects
we
have
designed
by
consultants,
we
are
a
small
staff,
and
so
we
do
rely
on
outside
contractors
to
assist
us
with
a
with
the
design,
a
good
rule
of
thumb.
What
Michael
is
talking
about
is
the
construction
of
signal
so
225,
although
increasingly
we're
seeing
very
few
of
our
signals,
come
in
at
that
price,
so
I
think
he
might
be
low-balling
it
a
little
bit,
but
you
do
need
to
add
about
10
to
12
percent.
A
That's
an
important
detail
to
note:
we've
got
a
question:
what
efforts
is
the
city
making
to
make
sure
information
and
survey
is
shared,
and
these
kinds
of
meetings
are
reaching
as
many
communities
as
possible
in
different
ways?
To
be
honest,
that's
something
that
we
struggle
with
we're.
Never
gonna
have
enough
public
outreach.
We
will
always
need
help
with
that.
If
everyone
from
this
meeting
could
share
the
survey
on
their
public
I'm,
sorry
on
their
social
media,
that
would
be
a
huge
help
to
us
by
the
way.
So
it's
challenging
for
us.
A
A
A
A
There's
a
comment
over
all
the
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
presentation
felt
very,
very
general,
not
a
bad
introduction
to
what
domi
does,
but
it
doesn't
give
one
a
sense,
let
alone
a
real
understanding
of
what
specifically
domi
is
proposing
for
the
upcoming
fiscal
year
and
long-term
planning.
So
director
Rick's.
Do
you
want
to
talk
about
any
of
the
kind
of
big
proposals
you
have
on
tap
for
the
2021
budget.
B
Well
for
the
2021
budget,
I
think
it's
there's
not
going
to
be
a
lot
of
big
new
proposals.
It
will
be,
you
know,
continuing
to
work
through
the
list
that
we
already
have
the
backlog
of
projects,
so
it
will
be.
We
hope,
a
number
of
important
signal
projects
that
Michael
and
his
group
will
advance.
We
will
continue
our
significant
investment
in
bridges
and
and
landslide
mitigation.
B
We
hope
that
will
improve
the
investment
in
traffic
calming.
We
will
make
a
significant
request
for
bicycle
facility
improvements.
This
year
we
do
have
yay
a
newly
completed
bicycle
master
plan,
and
so
we
really
want
to
get
to
building
that
out,
especially
in
an
environment
like
this,
we
understand
even
more
how
critical
it
is
to
have
resilient
mobility
options,
and
so
we
do
expect
that
we'll
we'll
put
a
that
will
probably
be
the
largest
single
new
type
of
request
that
we'll
put
in
as
for
a
major
investment
in
bicycle
infrastructure,
lots
of
stairs.
B
A
Say
it's
important
to
note
that
Domi's
also
is
part
of
mobility
infrastructure,
there's
also
a
really
important
project
partner
on
some
major
projects,
including
bus,
rapid
transit
and
I
579
cap.
There's
a
lot
of
stuff
that
happens
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
They
may
be
a
County
project,
a
state
project
sports,
an
Exhibition
Authority
project
that
they
still
rely
on
a
lot
of
staff,
time
from
Department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
to
be
able
to
get
done.
A
So,
even
if
it's
not
included
in
the
capital
budget,
because
we
may
be
important
because
we
may
not
be
paying
for
it,
there's
still
there's
still
a
lot
of
work.
That's
happening
on
some
of
those
major
projects
from
the
domi
staff.
Next
question
was
asking
about
the
status
of
dummy's
neighborhood
traffic
calming
program,
and
how
does
that
tie
into
the
2021
budget?
I
know
that
they
could
always
use
more
money.
They
spend
that
money
actually
really.
A
Well,
especially,
we
are
working
closely
with
Katie
Sawyer
from
domi
who
was
doing
an
excellent
job,
identifying
projects
from
301
and
other
sources
and
kind
of
working
through
those
in
a
way
that
I
thought
was
really
responsive
to
community
input,
but
Director
Excel.
If
there's
anything
you
wanted
to
add,
it
may
be
specific
to
the
2821
traffic
calming
program.
B
No
I
mean
it
is
the
traffic
calming
is
a
very
popular
program.
It's
one
that
we
would
like
to
to
increase
the
investment
in
I
believe
this
2019
budget.
We
I'm
going
to
quote
it
wrong.
I
think
we
only
had
about
200,000
that
was
set
aside
for
the
traffic
culinary
program,
which
is
really
just
you
know,
two,
maybe
three
projects
and
a
handful
of
smaller
interventions
that
we
can
do
so.
B
You
know
we
would
like
to
be
able
to
fund
that
that
program,
you
know,
maybe
a
million
dollars
a
year
would
would
easily
be
able
to
be
accommodated
based
on
the
demand
that
we
have,
but
I
want
to
say
again,
I
think
it's
something
where
3
1
1
requests
alone.
We
have
gone
to
the
exercise
of
mapping
our
3
1
1
requests.
B
We
know
again
that
our
vulnerable
communities
are
not
using
3
1
1,
with
the
same
frequency
that
that
various
other
communities
are
so
we
are
really
again
making
a
deliberate
attempt
to
look
at
vulnerable
communities
how
we
can
invest
in
those
and
improve
traffic
calming
investments
there,
as
well
as
as
well
as
many
other
places.
We
won't
do
that
exclusively
but
being
really
delivered
in
that
investment.
A
Absolutely
we
had
a
question
from
Heather
who's,
who
asked
I'm,
trying
to
get
a
fuller
picture
of
your
priorities
with
the
listing
of
criteria
and
bullet
points
under
each
to
each
of
those
bullet
points
represent
priority
level.
For
example,
you
mentioned
parking
impacts
as
a
factor
under
safety.
It's
mentioned
at
the
end
of
the
list.
Does
that
represent
a
lesser
priority?.
B
That
is
still
still
draft
parking
is
often
you
know
how
parking
can
be
impacted
by
a
safety
project
is
a
consideration
that
needs
to
be
taken
into
account,
but
the
principal
factors
that
we
would
look
at
for
a
safety
intervention
project
are
safety
and,
and
that
may
be
at
the
expense
of
curbside
parking
spaces
or
other
kinds
of
things.
So
it's
a
consideration
in
that
instance.
A
Okay,
maybe
we'll,
come
back
to
path?
We
also
had
a
question
from
Chris.
Is
this
a
forum
for
suggesting
specific
projects
to
be
funded,
pursued
in
the
2021
budget,
or
is
this
more
of
a
broad
vision
discussion?
The
answer
is
both
the
survey
that
we're
gonna
go
into
a
little
bit
in
more
detail
after
the
cube.
D
I'm
sorry
that
I
got
disconnected
well
short,
go
ahead,
I'm
wondering
a
Katrina
director
rich.
Why
hasn't
the
stop
signs
been
installed
on
Grandview
Avenue
and
Maple
Terrace
and
Kearsarge?
The
community
unanimously
voted
for
these
at
several
meetings
and
you
continue
to
ignore
it,
which
is
a
community.
B
I'm
happy
to
respond
to
mr.
junuh.
There
there's
rarely
unanimity
in
a
community
and
and
in
the
Washington
community.
There's
there
is
a
diversity
of
perspectives.
We
have
made
the
best
technical
judgment
possible
for
the
for
the
concerns
that
were
expressed
by
various
stakeholders
in
response
to
the
data
gathering
that
we
did
on
that
corridor.
With
respect
to
speed
compliance,
there
is
not
great
speed
compliance
on
Grandview
Avenue.
It
is
a
flat
level
straight
street.
B
We
did
do
the
temporary
installation
of
speed
humps
and
saw
some
some
good
changes
in
the
direction
that
we
wanted
there.
It
is
our
recommendation
to
proceed
with
those
and
based
on
the
consultation
of
the
community
meeting
that
you
also
were
part
of.
We
are
going
to
proceed
with
those
speed,
humps
installation
on
Granby,
Oh.
A
Thank
You
Pat,
so
just
going
back
to
Chris's
question
it
was
around.
It
is
this
forum
about
asking
for
specific
questions
or
specific
projects,
or
is
this
more
kind
of
a
broad
vision
discussion?
The
answer
is
both
at
the
end,
we're
gonna
go
through
the
survey.
A
little
bit.
You'll
you'll
see
that
you've
an
opportunity
to
put
down
both
types
of
responses.
You
can
say
I've,
you
know
the
corner
of
40th
and
Butler.
I
really
want
there
to
be
an
audible
signal
for
pedestrians,
or
you
can
say
just
in
general.
A
I
really
want
to
see
better
investment
in
things
like
sidewalks,
so
both
of
those
options
are
available
in
terms
of
the
input
from
the
public
to
the
capital
budget
process.
You
question
from
Barbara,
given
the
intense
budget
constraints
at
the
moment
due
to
CO
vid.
What
is
the
plan
for
redirecting
budget
for
non-essential
projects?
I'm
thinking,
in
particular,
about
the
shuttle
road
through
Schenley
Park,
intended
to
connect
CMU
to
Hazelwood
green
development?
It's
nine
million
dollars.
The
project
provides
the
mobility
benefits
to
residents
today,
the
great.
B
That
again,
does
not
require
the
use
of
a
private
automobile
to
move
between
these
two
big
generators
and
to
support
a
land
typology
development
on
that
new
development
site,
which
will
bring
substantial
tax
benefits,
new
jobs,
new
housing
opportunities
to
the
city
that
are
good
values
to
the
overall
needs
of
the
city
that
we
do
want
to
support
a
development
type
that
is
not
auto
oriented,
and
this
is
one
component
of
that
need.
We
have
expanded
from
the
original
scope
of
this
project,
which
was
exclusively
a
connector
between
these
two
activity.
Centers.
B
We
have
expanded
that
scope
to
make
sure
that
it
does
penetrate
into
the
community
of
Hazelwood,
which
also
could
use
additional
mobility
options
and
additional
opportunities
to
get
to
the
employment
opportunities
presented
by
these
two
sites,
as
well
as
other
critical
destinations
of
healthcare,
education
and
other
activities,
so
that
project
continues
to
press
forward.
Obviously
it's
not
without
a
diversity
of
opinions,
as
most
of
our
projects
have
on
it.
A
Yeah
really
a
question
from
Sam:
it's
not
explicitly
capital
budget
related,
but
given
kind
of
where
we
are
right
now.
I
do
want
to
create
some
space
for
it.
Sam
wrote
with
so
much
police
violence
being
perpetrated
in
city
streets
across
the
u.s..
What
can
Doh
me
do
to
make
sure
our
black
neighbors
can
travel
in
and
through
our
city
safely,.
A
Leave
some
space
for
dr.
wicks
to
answer
that
I
will
say
that
one
of
the
things
that
we've
looked
at
in
our
office
in
concert
with
directrix
is:
are
things
like
street
conditions
and
and
how
do
poor
street
conditions
overlay
with
certain
racial
populations,
and
that
was
something
that,
when
directrix
first
came
to
the
city,
that
that's
something
that
the
Korea
race
to
me
almost
immediately.
So
those
conversations
are
really
important,
but
I
also
just
want
to
give
Korea
the
opportunity,
if
there's
any
other
and
I.
A
B
It's
it's
tough
and
it's
long,
it's
long
overdue,
to
really
tackle
these
kinds
of
issues
head-on
and
to
to
really
think
about
it
to
really
think
about
what
do
these
investments
do
both
the
the
would,
the
intent
to
make
them
safer
and
certain
unintended
consequences?
I
don't
want
to
go
too
far
off
script,
but
vision.
Zero
is
a
concept
of
safety
where
we're
no
one
who
dies
or
is
seriously
injured
on
city
streets.
It's
a
concept
that
was
introduced
in
northern
Europe
and
has
has
sort
of
you
know
seated
itself
worldwide.
B
It
is
based
on
engineering,
education
and
enforcement,
and
what
we
found
here
in
the
u.s.
is
that
as
good
as
this
intention
might
be,
of
creating
safety
for
everyone,
it
does
introduce
certain
risks,
particularly
that
enforcement
aspect
of
it
can,
with
good
intentions,
for
safety,
have
unintended
consequences
for
our
communities
of
color,
and
so
we
need
to
be
very,
very
wide
eyed
about
those
inherent
biases
that
exist.
What
are
those
investments
and
those
programs
and
those
strategies
that
we're
creating?
How
does
it
affect?
B
We
have
to
have
those
voices
very
present
at
our
table
and
sharing
the
lived
experience
that
they
have
advising
us
of
what
are
the
interventions
that
can
help
make
it
safer
for
our
blackmailers
to
travel
around
the
city.
So
we
are
looking
at
light.
Equity
street
light
equity.
Something
david
has
been
involved
in
before
I
came
here.
B
Looking
at
you
know,
do
we
have
adequate
street
lighting
at
the
same
time,
there
are
certain
areas
where
you
know
we're
trying
to
maybe
overwhelm
them
with
light
for
four
reasons
that
may
be
to
deter
the
presence
of
of
some
of
our
communities
of
color,
and
so
you
know
we
need
to
be
really
really
careful
about
these.
It's
a
great
question.
It's
a
longer
City
dialogue.
I,
would
welcome.
B
You
know
any
opportunity
to
have
that
discussion
as
and
I
think
it's
incredibly
important
this
year
to
factor
that
into
our
budget
making
process
and
make
some
real
changes
around
it.
So
we
would
welcome
the
discussion.
I
do
not
have
the
answers
and
I
approach
that
question
very
humbly
as
to
what
can
we
do?
There's.
A
A
On
top
of
all
those
things
at
once,
we
had
a
question
from
Ross:
will
this
forum
have
a
portion
for
comments
or
will
only
focus
on
questions
asked
in
the
chat
Ross?
If
you
have
a
comment
that
you'd
like
to
have
shared
with
with
counsel
or
anything
like
that,
you
can
always
just
put
it
in
the
chat
and
we'll
be
sure
to
distribute
those
outs.
Jonah
had
a
question
on
20
million
dollars
in
capital,
funds
for
I
believe
the
Police
Training
Center.
That's
in
the
planning
phase.
A
A
Jona
also
had
a
comment
from
Pittsburghers
from
public
transit,
and
so
we're
going
to
note
that
comment
make
sure
that
that's
recorded
and
distributed
to
all
the
elected
officials
as
well
as
the
other
questions
from
this
meeting.
Thank
you
Chris,
for
your
comment
so
make
sure
I'm
catching
everybody.
B
Sorry
I
was
scrolling
down,
so
I
could
read
the
questions
with
you
too.
So
this
is
a
from
Elena's
question
yeah,
so
the
Mon
Oakland
connector
project
includes
alterations
to
boundary
street
/
nevel
there,
which
is
a
very
narrow
roadway.
It
crosses
over
railroad
tracks.
It's
you
know
by
the
decane
electric
station.
It's
it's
been
a
very,
very
difficult
corridor
for
bicyclists
and-
and
there
is
scarcely
if
any
accommodation
for
pedestrians
through
that
leading
to
this
section
of
park
into
to
the
trail,
so
a
substantial
portion
of
the
investment.
B
B
We
have
implemented
traffic
calming,
even
though
it's
a
very
narrow
street
down
there.
We
see
people
kind
of
you
know
barreling
through
there
in
in
a
shared
roadway
situation
with
other
users,
and
so
we
put
speed
humps
down
there,
we'll
look
at
some
even
more
robust
traffic
calming
to
manage
that
section
of
street,
and
so
that
is,
you
know,
part
of
the
benefit
to
the
Oakland
community.
That
was
requested
as
a
component
of
that
project.
B
We've
also
looked
at
the
other
recommendations
for
connectivity,
the
maintenance
of
steps
in
the
Oakland
area
and
some
other
priorities
that
Oakland,
Planning
and
Development
has
developed.
I.
Think
it's
about
two
years
ago
was
there
planning
effort,
we're
also
looking
at
and
just
getting
underway,
with
the
Department
of
City
Planning
on
a
larger
scale,
Oakland
planning
and
transportation
effort,
because
Oakland
is
a
very
dense,
very
complex
kind
of
transportation,
network,
pedestrianised
and
so
trying
to
figure
out.
B
How
can
we
intercept
traffic
before
it
gets
to
this
very
dense
core
of
Auckland
so
that
we
can
restore
some
of
those
streets
of
Auckland
for
more
pedestrianised
bicycle
uses,
manage
traffic
better
managed
parking
better
and
really
create
a
more
livable
community
there?
That
I
think
has
experienced
changes
because
of
the
growth
of
the
institutions
there
and
growth
of
employment
there.
B
A
It's
a
very
busy
neighborhood
honestly,
thank
you
to
Barbara,
Chris
and
Ross
for
your
comments,
we're
going
to
record
those
and
share
them
with
the
elected
officials
as
well.
Are
there
any
other
comments
for
director
Rick's
or
from
mike
Mayock
from
from
domi,
before
we
kind
of
go
into
what
else
you
can
do
to
help
stay,
engage
in
the
capital
budget.
D
A
We
got
a
comment
from
Ann:
that's
a
good
segue
and
we're
going
to
show
you
how
to
input
that
information
into
a
way
that
it's
going
to
get
to
the
department
in
the
council
offices.
So
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen
so
this
year
for
the
survey
we
actually
are
able
to
go
digital.
We
set
up
a
Google
Doc.
D
A
We
go
set
up
a
Google
Doc,
where
you
can
just
give
some
basic
preliminary
information.
One
option
is
to
discuss
a
specific
project
that
you
have
concerns
about,
so
you
can
go
and
say
that
I
really
want
that
light
fixed
at
the
T
underpass.
That's
really
important,
that's
something
that
we
can
then
share
with
Thome.
They
can
do
some
investigation
or
whoever
the
project
department
is,
can
do
some
investigation
and
then
they
can
create
that
into
a
capital
budget
proposal.
Additionally,
you
can
get
a
better
view
of
the
mayor's
budget
priorities.
A
All
nine
are
listed,
no
I'm.
Sorry,
all
10
are
listed
on
the
Google
Form.
You
can
go
through
and
rate
them
from
not
important
too
important.
That
information
we
share
in
the
capital
budget
is
part
of
the
executive
summary
for
these
meetings
and
we
also
pass
that
along
to
the
administration,
so
that
the
mayor
understands
all
the
mayor's
priorities
match
up
with
what
the
public
really
values.
This
forum
usually
takes.
I
would
say
less
than
five
minutes
to
complete
it's
pretty
simple.
A
We
wanted
to
keep
it
really
quick
and
accessible
for
anybody
who
had
specific
project
concerns
or
if
they
just
had
a
general
comment
on
what
they
wanted
to
see
in
the
budget.
This
is
a
good
option
too.
There
are
some
additional
things
that
we
do
with
the
responses.
This
is
the
old
paper
version
that
we
used
last
year.
In
this
example,
we
had
questions
I'm.
Sorry,
we
had
comments
on
work
needed
for
the
Davis
Avenue
Bridge.
We
were
able
to
share
that
with
domi.
A
This
was
a
project
that
was
already
on
their
radar,
but
it
lined
up
really
well,
and
so
we
have
some
some
grants
that
we've
pursued
for
the
Davis
Avenue
Bridge
I
think
this
is
a
good
example
of
kind
of
how
public
comment
can
align
with
things
that
are.
Are
you
happening
in
the
budget
or
give
us
new
ideas?
This
is
just
a
slide
that
shows
the
survey
responses
on
the
right-hand
side
from
what
we
got
last
year.
The
capital
budget
is
divided
into
six
functional
areas.
A
You
can
kind
of
see
those
down
in
the
middle
of
the
chart
in
terms
of
2020.
The
survey
responses
were
distributed
this
way
in
terms
of
the
types
of
projects
that
people
wanted
to
see.
This
matches
up
fairly
well
with
the
actual
planned
spending
in
the
2020
capital
budget.
There's
some
tough
ones
in
there,
vehicles
and
equipment,
not
too
many
members
of
the
public
are
excited
about
pickup
trucks,
but
that's
just
kind
of
the
reality
of
what
we
need
to
do
so.
A
A
Earlier
bird's
eye
view
is
a
really
great
program
that
has
multiple
layers
of
City
data.
You
can
go
through
and
see
when
there's
been
3
1
1
requests
in
your
neighborhood
police
information,
fire
incidents,
things
like
that,
but
also
there's
a
capital
budget
layer.
That's
this
really
light.
Lavender
will
say
white
like
play
purple
that
allows
you
to
go
into
your
neighborhood
and
maybe
check
out
what
capital
projects
are
already
underway.
So
in
this
instance,
we
had
a
capital
budget
project
from
2018.
A
A
Additionally,
we
have
a
really
great
resource
called
balancing
acts,
there's
actually
kind
of
three
modules
in
here.
The
first
one
is:
what's
called
the
tax
receipt,
so
you
can
put
in
your
income.
If
you
have
a
home
you
can
put
in
the
value
of
your
home
and
then
it
basically
spits
out
for
you
an
estimate,
No.
A
A
A
It's
really
important
for
me
that
we
increase
paving.
You
can
change
the
faders
to
make
changes
to
the
budget.
There's
some
background
information
in
here
on
some
of
the
specific
projects.
There
are
some
scenarios
built
into
there
too,
so
you
have
the
opportunity
to
make
decisions
like
yes,
I
actually
want
to
upgrade
to
intersections
with
some
new
traffic
signals
each
change.
Your
decision
that
you
make
in
the
software,
though,
does
change
the
balancing
of
the
budget
itself,
so
any
additions
that
you
make
to
increase
things.
A
You're
gonna
have
to
do
what
we
do
in
our
job
and
figure
out
a
way
to
either
decrease
another
cost,
or
you
can
also
try
to
move
around
the
revenue.
There's
some
additional
information
in
there
about
kind
of
how
we
pay
for
bonds,
and
things
like
that.
So
this
is
a
great
kind
of
in-depth
tool.
Again,
you
have
the
Google
Form
survey.
If
you
just
have
like
a
quick
hit,
something
you
want
to.
Let
us
know
specific
project
that
you
want
done,
or
just
a
general
area
of
concern.
Balancing
act,
though,
is
really
great.
A
You
can
say
that
and
then,
when
you
go
at
the
end
to
submit
it,
it'll
show
up
in
the
comments
that
we
get
back
and
then
we
can
share
that
with
both
the
Department
and
the
elected
officials.
So
that's
another
resource,
that's
available
to
you.
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
you
did.
You
understand
your
council
office
and
council
budget
office.
Our
office
are
always
available.
You
can
email
us
at
this
address
CIP
Pittsburgh,
PA
gov.
A
You
can
always
go
to
3-1-1
if
you
have
any
really
pressing
concerns
about
infrastructure,
if
you
see
something
broken
and
it
doesn't
look
like
it's
being
addressed,
feel
free
to
use
three
one.
One
and
I
think
that
concludes
everything
for
tonight.
I
want
to
say
again,
thank
you
so
much
to
our
interpreter.
Thank
you.
So
much
to
innovation
and
performance,
and
also
to
the
community
office
of
community
affairs.
