Time for a Penn Avenue infrastructure project update! If you attended
the first public meeting in March 2008 (shown at left) - and you live,
work, or use Penn Avenue between 34th Street in Lawrenceville and Negley
Avenue in East Liberty - you won't want to miss this important meeting,
coming up next Wednesday evening:
Date: April 16, 2009
Place: Saint Lawrence O’Toole Activity Building (corner of North
Atlantic & Broad)
Time: 6:00 p.m. – Sign In/Refreshments; 6:30 p.m. – Presentation and
Q&A; 7:30 p.m. – Group Breakout Stations / Discussions
The City of Pittsburgh, in cooperation with the PA Department of
Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Penn Avenue
Corridor Phasing Plan Committee, will conduct a second public meeting
for the Penn Avenue Corridor Phasing Plan Study. L. Robert Kimball &
Associates is near completion in formulating a Corridor Phasing Plan to
advise the City in programming and advancing transportation improvements
along Penn Avenue.
The purpose of the meeting is threefold: 1) review the previous Public
Meeting comments and community concerns; 2) discuss what has been
completed since the last Public Meeting; and 3) detail the next steps
and phases of the project including potential timelines.
The project is located on Penn Avenue in the City of Pittsburgh from
34th Street to Negley Avenue, approximately 2 miles in length. The
project limits extend through the City of Pittsburgh neighborhoods of
Lawrenceville, Bloomfield, Garfield, Friendship, and East Liberty. The
scope of the study is to assess Penn Avenue transportation
infrastructure needs and develop and implement a list of prioritized
improvements for construction.
The project team will be present at the public meeting to discuss and
provide a better understanding of the project needs and prioritized
transportation improvements.
The meeting location is accessible to persons having disabilities.
