Bad deal on bonds costs Port Authority $39.2M
Thursday, February 17, 2011 By Jon Schmitz, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The Port Authority this week paid a bank $39.2 million to escape from a bond deal it entered seven years ago that turned out sour.

The $23 million dollar roadway built for the Mon-Oakland shuttle will be obsolete almost as soon as it is built. The City anticipates that it will carry 180 passengers a day between Hazelwood and Oakland. By contrast, Hazelwood Green anticipates 20,413 commuter trips to the site by 2028. The shuttle WILL NOT EVEN PUT A DENT in the commuter traffic and air pollution into the community.
The Mon-Oakland Connector, however, WILL drive up housing rental prices in Hazelwood, Four Mile Run, Greenfield and Panther Hollow. Residents have fought hard to win pedestrian amenities and close trail gaps as part of this project. But without protections against housing speculation and displacement, current residents won't be the ones that will benefit from these improvements because they'll be pushed out.
Join us to uplift resident-led transportation needs and solutions instead of the Mon-Oakland Connector shuttle roadway at the City's FINAL virtual public meeting about the project this Wed, Oct 21, from 6-8 pm! Find out more and register to attend below.

The LAST VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEETING for the Mon Oakland Connector shuttle roadway project is scheduled for Wednesday, 10/21, 6-8pm Transit equity means that public transportation investments must benefit ...The Foundations that own Hazelwood Green should fund the extension of the 75 from Oakland and into Hazelwood as residents have been calling for with the Our Money, Our Solutions plan, instead of pushing the Mon-Oakland Connector shuttle roadway. The 75 bus would connect more residents to more destinations (connecting Hazelwood, Southside and Oakland), save us tens of millions of taxpayer dollars (during a City budget crisis), and yield the same anticipated travel times between Hazelwood and Oakland. And the 75 expansion could happen IMMEDIATELY, not 2+ years down the road.
Residents in Hazelwood deserve access to food, jobs and healthcare now.
