2021 Capital Budget Survey

Drawing of new Wightman Park design, including playground and green infrastructure — *This redesign of Wightman Park is one of the projects funded by Pittsburgh’s 2020 Capital Budget.*

Is there a road in Pittsburgh whose potholes drive you crazy? An intersection that feels unsafe? A street that needs a bike lane? A playground that’s a bit run-down?

If you answered yes to any of those questions (or even if you didn’t), the City of Pittsburgh wants to hear from you! The city’s 2021 Capital Budget Survey is available until June 19.

The Capital Budget is used to determine spending on projects (as opposed to day-to-day operations). This year’s Capital Budget includes (in no particular order):

Flood control projects
“Complete Streets” upgrades (incl. bike/pedestrian infrastructure)
Street resurfacing
Trail development
Capital improvements to the Bob O’Connor Golf Course
Renovation of Wightman Park (pictured above)
Enhancing Pittsburgh’s housing stock
Small business development funds
New firefighting equipment
Replacing security cameras

Fill out the city’s 2021 Capital Budget S urvey by June 19 so that your voice can be heard in this process!

It has served as a sounding board for new ideas, as well as a “watchdog” in the areas of public safety, education, residential quality, the business district, and parks and open space. With its focus on the quality of life in the 14th Ward, SHUC continues to monitor activities and future developments in the community through a range of standing committees.
