Show up cyclists and be heard!

Show up to this and speak up for making the T more bike-friendly! There should be bike racks/parking near T stops that are protected from the elements. Also bikes (at very least folding bikes) should be allowed on the T during peak hours. Combining modes of transportation i.e bike and bus, needs to be made easier in and around Pittsburgh.

Allegheny County and municipal officials will listen Thursday to suggestions for enhancing neighborhoods around Port Authority light-rail T stations. The meeting is the first step in what officials hope will transform the T-station areas into community hubs.

“This is the time to show up — not when we’ve already put a shovel in the ground,” Zboyovsky said. Development could include retail stores and apartment complexes. “We want to promote ourselves as walkable, more pedestrian-friendly.”
