Pittsburgh’s 25-year transportation plan, MovePGH, has been taking public comment over the last year to craft an ultimate vision.

“The preliminary list of projects is a lot more focused on small-scale neighborhood projects, like sidewalks, bike facilities, transit projects, a lot less focused on roadway widening projects than some previous plans have been.
