People can support MFPAA in two ways

McCandless officials say that people can support the McCandless-Franklin Park Ambulance Authority in two ways: by donating and by subscribing.

People can give a one-time donation or pledge a monthly amount to generously give throughout the year. Donations are tax-deductible and can be made online.

Another option is a subscription. For a small yearly fee, subscribers receive unlimited medically necessary emergency ambulance service and discounts on services which are not deemed medically necessary or patient responsibility by their insurance carrier.

New North Park trail

Allegheny County has recently completed a trail along Tennis Court Road in North Park. The trail provides walkers and runners with a safer way to travel along the one-half mile long roadway that runs from the North Park boathouse to Walter Road.

The area is one of the busiest areas in all nine county parks.

Included in the project were additional seating and landscape improvements, a new bridge constructed by county carpenters, as well as stream bank stabilization measures to help improve water quality and control excessive erosion.

Over 2,500 trees and shrubs were planted to help improve air and water quality and provide enhanced wildlife habitat along the creek.

The project was publicly bid and awarded to Tail Industries, Inc., for $858,354.
