Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto is calling on Congress to invest money in local parks. He and 18 other mayors of Pennsylvania cities want $500 million set aside for local parks development in the highly-anticipated infrastructure package.
Specifically, the mayors are asking the Pennsylvania Congressional delegation to pass the Parks, Jobs and Equity Act as part of the infrastructure bill. The proposal would fund more than 1,000 new or upgraded parks in the country in neighborhoods with historically low access to parks and green spaces.
“When we look at infrastructure we think about our roads or bridges or pipes and sewers,” Peduto said. “Adding parks into an infrastructure bill would allow for cities to be able to utilize those funds to … enhance and keep the parks for the present and to ensure their viability into the future.”
