hello all:
deep cuts to public transportation. a $500 million underground tunnel to stadiums. a $7 billion dollar, four-lane, toll road through poor, african-american neighborhoods. tragically, this is what passes for transportation policy in allegheny county.
if you have not done so already, i am respectfully requesting a few moments of your time to help our community and the region by voting against the mon-fayette expressway in the recent poll on www.postgazette.com.
please help braddock and the numerous other communities that have already been severely harmed (or would be obliterated) by this wasteful, highly destructive, and interminable 40-year discussion.
respectfully,
mayor john fetterman
Braddock

Obviously, you know that I have voted against this atrocity. Please, we need to help Braddock, PA stay on the map. We also need to be putting more effort into saving this forgotten city. It is currently the only close place even remotely resembling an ‘autonomous zone‘ — we need more of those. If you don’t know much about Braddock, then today is YOUR lucky day!
