[Glenn A. Walsh]

After nearly an hour of testimony by members of the
general public, this morning the Board of Directors of
the Port Authority of Allegheny County voted 5-2 to
approve the primary contract for construction of the
"North Shore Connector" rapid transit extension
project, which will serve Pittsburgh's Lower North
Side. The primary contract includes construction of
twin tunnels under the Allegheny River, between
Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle central business district
and the North Side.
