Riverfront Bicycle Trail Summit – December 4

NorthsideMap

Join the Northside Bike-Ped Committee for a Mini Summit

The Northside Bike-Ped Committee is hosting a panel of organization leaders who have the responsibility of planning, building, operating and maintaining trails and other bike-ped infrastructure in Pittsburgh. The meeting theme is the Northside riverfront trail as the backbone of the Northside bikeway system, as well as its connections to the street grid and bridges and areas of expansion.

This committee is one of many volunteer-lead, neighborhood groups working to improve the bikability and walkability. And instead of settling into a holiday slump, this group of citizens change-makers is ramping things up with a great program. Swing over to the Science Center on December 4th to participate in what is sure to be a lively discussion.
