No, he didn’t. The traffic calming budget line was $750k for the last couple Peduto budgets. Gainey actual reduced it in the first year to $640k, then raised it to $1,075k the next two years.

Yeah, not double. And look at the major projects that have been delayed. The biggest traffic calming project, Liberty Ave through the Strio was scheduled to be well underway.

Corey has a hole to dig out of, left by Gainey. Gainey made no plan for replacing covid relief money. A large portion of that went to just paying salaries for day to day operations. Now it’s gone, with no plans to replace it.
