RPA opposes Cross Bronx Bridges Project

Bridges that span river crossings play a vital role in Connecticut’s transportation network. Join Jennifer Pixley, PE, as she explores the historical significance of Connecticut’s bridges, what qualifies a structure as a “major bridge,” and key rehabilitation projects at the WTS Connecticut Chapter Transportation Mini-Series. Jen, along with Susan Mendola of the Connecticut Department of Transportation, will share how collaboration, community impact, and cutting-edge techniques, such as Ultra-High Performance Concrete, are shaping the state’s future infrastructure projects. #theCHAway #CHAngemakers

California Senate Bill 79 (SB 79) is yet another change to California housing laws. SB 79 is aimed at addressing the state’s housing crisis by promoting transit-oriented development. Determining whether a project qualifies under SB 79 and how best to combine it with other state housing laws requires a detailed, site-specific analysis. If you're exploring how this new law could impact your project or how to strategically combine it with other housing laws, I’d be happy to connect. SB 79 also enables local governments to adopt alternative transit-oriented development plans under certain conditions. If you are a local agency exploring how to adopt such an alternative and need outside counsel help, I'd be happy to connect.

Removing and replacing lead service lines is a core component of our mission to provide dependable water services to the communities we serve across the Commonwealth. That is why we’re putting $4.9 million in PENNVEST loans and grants to use for replacing 350 lead lines in Allegheny County. Pennsylvania State Representative Arvind Venkat shares our commitment to making Pennsylvania lead-free. He recently shared his thoughts in TribLIVE on the importance of upgrading our aging water infrastructure as a means of protecting Pennsylvanians, particularly the Commonwealth’s children.

Roundabouts offer benefits that extend well beyond simply improving traffic flow. While they are widely recognized for enhancing mobility and reducing congestion, their broader contributions to complete streets and connectivity are often underestimated or overlooked. Roundabouts can significantly improve safety for all users—drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians—by calming traffic, reducing conflict points, and encouraging lower vehicle speeds. Additionally, they enhance neighborhood connectivity by making intersections more accessible and navigable, particularly for non-motorized users. By integrating landscaping, pedestrian refuges, and clearer crosswalks, roundabouts can serve as functional and aesthetic community focal points that align with modern urban planning goals.
