Route 277 Relocation Moves Begin in Fourth Ward Area
The initial phase of Route 277 relocation into the city from the south under the Fourth Ward urban renewal plan is moving families from Union Cascade West Pleasant West Main and Northwest streets. PennDOT official Edward Kreger says appraisals started last fall with 90 days to move after compensation, though families may relocate sooner if they choose. Renters receive settlements to secure equivalent or better housing, as urban renewal dictates, but demolition for redevelopment will wait for HUD funds for Phase II.
