The file Esplanade_TIS_-7.23.24(1).pdf appears to be associated with the Manchester ReUnited: State Route 65 Reconnecting Communities Planning Study, initiated by the City of Pittsburgh Office of Management & Budget and the Department of Mobility & Infrastructure. The project seeks to engage a consultant or consultant team to conduct a feasibility study and alternatives analysis for approximately 3 miles of PA-65 expressway between I-279N and the McKees Rocks Bridge. The primary objective is to reunite the Manchester and Chateau neighborhoods, focusing on reversing historic infrastructure harm, enhancing multi-modal connectivity, and improving community access and opportunities.

The study requires a consultant with expertise in urban highway engineering and planning who can develop comprehensive recommendations through a community-led process coordinated with Manchester Citizens Corporation. The final deliverables will include a preferred alternative with conceptual design, relevant documentation, land use and economic policy recommendations, and potential implementation strategies and funding opportunities. The consultant is expected to deeply understand the local neighborhood characteristics and engage residents and decision-makers throughout the planning process, with an emphasis on creating holistic solutions that serve the community's broader social and infrastructural needs.
