Your input is needed for the City of Pittsburgh’s first ever Comprehensive Plan

The City of Pittsburgh is in the process of creating an ambitious and first-ever Comprehensive Plan.  Called PLANPGH, the City will be using this as the blueprint of growth for the next 25 years.

There are many focus areas to PLANPGH, many of which cyclists can offer valuable input as the City is trying to get as much public participation as it can to make the process open and inclusive.  A major component of the comprehensive plan is how Pittsburghers use, and want to use transportation, open space, and recreational opportunities.  The City is also interested in figuring out ways to reduce the number of single occupancy vehicles, so it is imperative that cyclists fill out these surveys whenever they are available.

City Planning created two surveys that are currently open until August 31, 2010.

These latest surveys are about open space, trails, parks, and recreation, and include many bicycling specific questions.

Take the surveys here:

Open Space Survey for Adults (18+)

Open Space Survey for Youth (10-17)
