Twenty five years ago, Pittsburgh had no urban trail system. Now, thanks to Friends of the Riverfront, with help from the Sierra Club, Pittsburgh has the Three Rivers Heritage Trail- a network of bike and pedestrian trails running for 37 miles along both sides of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers, which is part of a nearly continuous path stretching from Pittsburgh to Washington D.C.
At the next meeting of the Allegheny Sierra Club group, on Wednesday, February 11, 7:30 p.m. at Botany Hall, adjacent to Phipps Conservatory in Oakland, Bob Gangewere of Friends of the Riverfront will talk about how the trail came into being, mostly from land that had previously been owned by railroad companies.
