NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES
Grandview Avenue on Mt. Washington will Receive Second Phase of Traffic Calming
Pittsburgh, PA – Motorists and residents who travel on Grandview Avenue in the Mt. Washington neighborhood should be aware that the second phase of traffic calming measures is tentatively scheduled to begin on today, Tuesday, September 3rd (weather permitting). This project amends and continues traffic calming work previously completed on that corridor.
The traffic calming updates include two (2) speed humps between PJ McArdle Roadway and Bertha Street. Three (3) speed tables between Bingham Street and Oneida Street. Along with a raised crosswalk near the intersection of Grandview Ave. and Sweetbriar Street. The aim of these measures is to further calm traffic in order to improve pedestrian safety.
"We listened to the concerns of our residents, and we acted. Expanding the scope of this traffic calming project is a direct result of community input, and it reflects our commitment to creating safer, more livable streets. By working together, we're ensuring that all Pittsburgh neighborhoods are safe, welcome, and thriving," said Mayor Ed Gainey
The second phase of this traffic calming project was selected after receiving multiple residents’ concerns regarding the original scope of the Grandview Ave. Traffic Calming Project.
Roadway work will tentatively begin with the speed hump/table construction on Tuesday, September 3rd and is expected to last two (2) days. During which, flaggers will allow alternating traffic through the work area. Crews will follow-up with roadway markings and signage after the speed hump/table construction.
