Community Space Proposal 

Click Here

The Glass Group in partnership with the city of Duquesne is seeking proposals from residents of the Duquesne community to reimagine and redesign our community space located in the church hall of the former St. Hedwig parish, located 101 S. Fifth St. Duquesne PA, 15110. This project aims to enhance the functionality, accessibility, and aesthetic appeal of the space to serve as community space for the entire community. 

St. Hedwig closed its doors over 4 years ago and is now owned by The Glass Group. The Glass Group is a responsible community developer and desires to partner with the community to create a space that would benefit the residents of Duquesne. Scott is working in partnership with the city of Duquesne to seek input from the community. We are seeking ideas from the community on how to reimagine the fellowship hall of the church. Currently there is a large social hall, 2 classrooms, and a commercial kitchen space. So, we invite you to dream with us, what would you like to see? In 250 words or less share with us your idea on how this space can be reimagined

Council Meeting Agendas

The City of Duquesne’s Department of Public Works (DPW) priorities snow and ice removal by the priority of the road. The method of clearing the roads varies greatly depending on the weather. For instance, in very cold temperatures salt is ineffective and it would be a waste of resources to spread salt. When it is actively snowing, plowing alone is the best method.

Our DPW operates two to three plow and salt trucks to clear the snow and ice. These trucks are limited by weight restrictions and carry enough salt for approximately one hour’s work before they must be reloaded.

Our priority of roads are as follows:

1. Main roads and the bus routes. Second Street, Grant Avenue, Kennedy Avenue, Crawford Avenue, and the streets that the busses travel.

2. Brick roads and hills.

3. Secondary residential roads.

4. Alleys.

State Route 837 (Duquesne Boulevard) and Commonwealth Avenue are maintained by Penn Dot.

While waiting on the roads to be cleared there are some things that you can do to help:

1. Equip your vehicle with winter tires made for driving in snow.

2. Only drive in the snow if necessary.

3. Park in a way that makes it easier for the plow trucks to get through.

4. Have patience, slow down, and leave early if you must travel in bad weather.

HOME RULE CHARTER INFORMATION

The City of Duquesne is posting information about the possibility of the community moving into a Home Rule Charter. The current council would like to hear feedback from the community on whether we should vote to add the selection of Home Rule Charter to the ballot in Novemeber during the general election.
