Pittsburgh parking privatized for the sake of public pensions
There are four meetings set for the Pittsburgh City Council and Mayor Ravenstahl to discuss a plan that will privatize parking garages to pay for the municipal pension system. The plan is to lease 12 garages and 9,000 parking meters to bring in a one-time lump sum of $200 million and transfer it into the pension system and another $105 million for the Parking Authority.
