Description

Resolution authorizing the Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh, and the Office of Management and Budget to apply for a grant from Pennsylvania Department of Economic Development’s Multimodal Transportation Fund for the Sheraden Station Plaza Intersection Safety Improvement and the Wabash Street Community Connector projects. The grant proposal includes an ask not to exceed ONE MILLION ONE HUNDRED TWENTY TWO THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED NINETY SIX ($1,122,996.00) dollars for this stated purpose.

Summary

The proposed resolution would authorize Pittsburgh’s Mayor and Office of Management and Budget to apply for up to $1,122,996 from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development’s Multimodal Transportation Fund. The funding would support two projects: intersection safety improvements at Sheraden Station Plaza and the Wabash Street Community Connector. The measure primarily affects city officials responsible for pursuing and administering the grant, while benefiting residents, pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and drivers who use these areas. Approval would allow the City to seek state funding for transportation safety and connectivity improvements; it does not itself guarantee that the grant will be awarded or establish final construction plans.
