Listed below are several projects we have been a partner in completing along with the cooperation of regional and statewide planning commissions, local organizations and the Oakland community:

SR885: Boulevard of the Allies Bridge Project

Starting in 2004, OTMA has been directly involved as an integral part of the Boulevard of the Allies Bridge Project design team, a representative of the Oakland Task Force, and PennDOT’s community outreach partner. Completed at the start of 2009, the project involved a new ramp connecting Fifth avenue to the boulevard and replacement of existing boulevard bridges and roadways complete with paving and landscaping. The redesign of this outdated interchange has created a much more efficient, attractive, and safer gateway to Oakland’s medical, educational, and cultural hubs

 

Bike Rack Replacement

The University of Pittsburgh has maintained bicycle parking facilities (racks and lockers) for thirteen years with funding procured by OTMA. Together, OTMA and Pitt were successful in receiving joint Federal funding in December to replace 100 of the original bike racks and lockers. As bicycle parking has become a greater demand in recent years, this money will be used to provide stable racks and secure lockers for bicycle commuters.
