Point State Park Renovation, Phase 4

----- Advertising -----

Due to long-term deterioration from severe flooding and other harsh weather, Pittsburgh's Point State Parka National Historic Landmarkwas in great need of renovation. The $35-million renovation of the 36-acre park included lawn and woodland restoration, wharf reconstruction, updating utilities and construction of a cafe.

The project's fourth and final phase focused on the Point Park fountain. A main goal was to upgrade the fountain's central water column system so that it could regain its peak height of 150 ft. Crews also installed a new 154-ft-dia inner basin ring that achieves an infinity-edge appearance between the fountain's pool and the nearby river.

Point State Park is surrounded on three sides by water and, on the fourth side, borders the city's business district. Interstate 279 also crosses overhead, further constraining access.

The park is the pre-Revolutionary War site of Fort Duquesne and Fort Pitt. Because of the park's landmark designation, crews had to take special precautions to protect historical artifacts.

The park, which hosts an average of three million visitors a year, had to remain open to the public throughout construction, even though nearly every surface was being renovated.

The renovation was the largest park project ever undertaken by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Broadway and Fraser, Vancouver (Dec 31/13)

(Jesse Johnston, News1130 Photo)

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) Crews are still dealing with a stubborn fire that has gutted a Vancouver home and sent four people to the hospital.

The fire broke out early this morning at Broadway and Fraser Street.

One woman is unaccounted for, but its not yet clear if she was home at the time. Fire Chief John McKearney says she lives in the attic of the building and crews are looking into whether she could have been staying somewhere else overnight. Were absolutely hopeful nobody is there.

Paul lives in the basement suite at the home; he says he was woken up early this morning by screaming neighbours who were yelling at him to get out of his home. I went to open the door [and saw] a big fire. It was spread everywhere. So, we basically just went out the door. I felt kind of half-asleep and realized its everything weve got there.

He says the building is old and hes been concerned about the wiring for some time now, but theres still no word as to what caused the fire. But McKearney says appears the fire started in a carport area behind the home.

A couple of people who live in the house had to crawl onto the roof of a neighbouring house, until crews could come rescue them.

A firefighter has a dislocated shoulder, while the conditions of the other three people taken to hospital are unknown.

Broadway remains closed at Fraser Street.

According to him, the State Government has sought funds to carry out certain projects. The Union Home Secretary on its part has asked the Government to send the necessary proposals.

Bangladesh situation

Meanwhile, State Home Secretary Basudeb Banerjee maintained that 80 per cent of the discussions centred around the situation in Bangladesh.

The Chief Minister has, however, not confirmed if discussions took place on the situation in Bangladesh or not. She claimed that it was a routine meeting. It was also not known if discussions took place regarding the Land Boundary Agreement Bill. Banerjee is known to have expressed strong reservations over the Bill and its subsequent introduction in the Rajya Sabha. The Chief Minister has been vocal in opposing the Bill.
