by Highland Park Community Council 10 Feb '22

10 Feb '22

Hi Folks! We've known this has been coming for a while. Note the construction impacts: *Work will occur Monday-Friday from approximately 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., with construction beginning near the intersection of One Wild Place and Butler Street. Crews will work within the following lane closures:* - *The righthand lane of outgoing traffic on One Wild Place is closed until early February. Full restoration of the roadway will occur in the spring. * - *The righthand outbound lane on Washington Boulevard - between Allegheny Boulevard and the Highland Park Bridge exit - is closed to traffic to allow for equipment to access the worksite. This closure will be in place until April 2022.* Work will increase resiliency in the water distribution system FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 10, 2022 Media Contact: 412-430-3898 PWSA Begins Rehabilitation on Rising Main in Highland Park Work will increase resiliency in the water distribution system Rehabilitation of the rising mains will occur primarily in wooded areas of Highland Park, near One Wild Place Pittsburgh, PA – This week, the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority took Rising Main 3, a large-diameter water main in Highland Park, out of service for rehabilitation. This project, part of the Water Reliability Plan, is the first of several once-in-a-generation projects that will take place over the next several years. The rehabilitation of Rising Main 3 will improve the reliability of our water system and improve hydraulic performance to distribute water from one part of the system to another. Rising Main 3 carries water from the Bruecken Pump Station to the Highland II Reservoir. While under construction, Rising Main 4, a redundant, parallel water main, will continue to supply water to the reservoir. Rehabilitation of Rising Main 3 will continue through 2022 and Rising Main 4 will also undergo rehabilitation in 2023. We will invest nearly $12 million over the next two years on both projects. This work comes after lengthy inspection and design work that began in 2019 <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Q56WwSr53CJAGrhS1Es_XtF6dHnR9uQQ7TBV379aNKs…>. PWSA's engineering team assessed the condition of Rising Main 3 and nearby Rising Main 4 using excavations and robotic exploratory tools to photograph the entire length of both pipes. Extensive inspection of the pipe in the planning phase ensures that the rehabilitation is done efficiently. Creating a Resilient Water System The Water Reliability Plan is a series of infrastructure upgrades that will occur over the next five years. Much of Pittsburgh’s water infrastructure was constructed a century ago and has served us well for generations. It is now time to rebuild our large water pumping, distribution and storage systems so current and future generations of customers can enjoy secure, reliable water services. Over the next five years, we will embark upon a remarkable journey to strengthen the heart of our water system through a series of projects identified in the Water Reliability Plan. These projects will happen sequentially to improve water system resiliency and reliability for decades to come. This is a $300 million investment in Pittsburgh’s water future. "After years of planning, we are excited to see Water Reliability Plan projects enter construction," said PWSA CEO Will Pickering. "While this project is not as visible as some of our water and sewer replacement projects, it is crucial to the future health of our water system," he said. Construction Impacts Work will occur Monday-Friday from approximately 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., with construction beginning near the intersection of One Wild Place and Butler Street. Crews will work within the following lane closures: - The righthand lane of outgoing traffic on One Wild Place is closed until early February. Full restoration of the roadway will occur in the spring. - The righthand outbound lane on Washington Boulevard - between Allegheny Boulevard and the Highland Park Bridge exit - is closed to traffic to allow for equipment to access the worksite. This closure will be in place until April 2022. As work progresses, crews will move into the wooded area below Highland Park. They will coordinate with the Pittsburgh Zoo as needed. Work is anticipated to be complete in fall of 2022.

Mellon Park - Community Engagement Meetings rescheduled
by Highland Park Community Council 09 Feb '22

09 Feb '22

>From the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy: The Mellon Park Action Plan team, in partnership with the City, would like to postpone the presentation of the Preferred Plan for one month. Recent events, including winter storms and the Fern Hollow Bridge collapse, have put a strain on City staff and made coordination around the Action Plan difficult. This extra time will allow us to ensure our proposed improvements are in alignment with feedback from the community and our partners at the City. With that being said, we would like to reschedule the planned community engagement meetings that were planned for February 22nd and February 26th to now take place on March 22nd and March 26th. Same time and still via zoom. We kindly ask that you register again for the newly scheduled meetings. Here are the new links: - March 22nd Community Meeting - 6pm via ZOOM <http://support.pittsburghparks.org/site/Calendar?id=101423&view=Detail> - March 26th Community Meeting- 12pm via ZOOM <http://support.pittsburghparks.org/site/Calendar?id=101424&view=Detail> -- Click here to visit our website <https://hpccpgh.org/>
