ā€¢ Project to rehabilitate Pittsburgh city steps facing delays, cost overruns (wtae.com) ā€” Residents in Pittsburghā€™s South Oakland neighborhood are stuck waiting as a $1.5 million project to rebuild the Frazier Street city steps faces major delays and potential cost overruns of several hundred thousand dollars. Utility conflicts and a redesign to address gas line locations have halted visible progress, leaving only dirt where heavily used steps once connected Bates and Frazier streets. Work isnā€™t expected to resume until spring, with completion hoped for in late 2026.
