President Anthony Colecchi said the Giant Eagle Mobile market continues to be “well received,” averaging 20–30 people per week, and introduced representatives from Tree Pittsburgh who were present to update council on their program.
During public comment, resident Mike Tomak of 418 Broadway said he was concerned about the condition of the property at 1010 Vermont Avenue, asserting that occupants were "burning wires and stuff" and that tarps prevented people from seeing what was happening at the site. Betty Kaczka asked what happened to the US Steel money; Borough Manager Elaina Skiba said she would provide Kaczka with a breakdown of how those funds were spent.
