Final Approved Reapportioned City Council Districts 3/12/13

After each decennial census, City Council is required to make changes to council districts to reflect the new population distribution throughout the City. Districts are required to be as equal in population as practicable, compact, contiguous, and in compliance with the federal voting rights act.

The 2010 Federal Census established the population of the City of Pittsburgh at 305,704–a decrease from 334,563 from the 2000 Census–putting the “ideal” district size at 33,967. Due to the population changes over the last ten years, current districts range in population from 28,695 to 39,259.

Greetings,

I would like to announce that the Department of Public Works Paving Program for 2013 has begun. This program is an opportunity for the residents of the City of Pittsburgh to submit addresses or intersections that are in need of paving or have potholes that are need of filling.
For District 6 residents that would like to request paving in their neighborhoods, please call the District 6 office at 412-255-2134 or via email at Daniel.wood@pittsburghpa.gov or shanalee.russell@pittsburghpa.gov.
Please note, our office cannot promise the final priority of streets that the Department of Public Works chooses to pave, but your input is greatly needed and impactful.
Sincerely,
R. Daniel Lavelle
