Pennsylvania Grant Funds Traffic Signal Modernization in Oakland
What happened
The City of Pittsburgh Department of Mobility and Infrastructure received a nearly $459,000 state grant to modernize traffic signals at an Oakland intersection. This funding is for safety upgrades at Terrace Street and Darragh Street, following two pedestrian fatalities in 2024. The grant is part of a larger $13 million statewide allocation for traffic safety projects.
