City Awarded $2.3 Million Grants for Bloomfield’s Liberty at Main Intersection Improvements and Chateau’s Riverfront Trail Stabilization
Pittsburgh, PA – The City of Pittsburgh’s Department of Mobility and Infrastructure has received $2,332,540 in grants from the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) for two community infrastructure projects.
The City was awarded $1,322,540 in funding through the SPC’s Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Program (TA) for traffic signal upgrades and intersection improvements at the intersection of the Bloomfield Bridge, Liberty Avenue and Main Street.
SPC approved an additional grant of $1,000,000 Smart Transportation for Livable Communities (STLC) funding for slope stabilization and trail restoration along the Three Rivers Heritage Trail in Chateau. After the portion of the trail between Branchport Street and Columbus Avenue failed last summer, the Three Rivers Heritage Trail has been detoured into the neighborhood and remediation planning started immediately. The funding will be used for the engineering and construction to remediate and reopen that portion of the trail.
