Thanks for posting this! Are they inviting public comment, and if so, who can we contact? I’d love to see protected bike lanes and less parking as part of the vision (this is a dense, pedestrian-friendly area and lots of space for cars detracts from that).
Yes please email andrea.lavinkossis (at ) pittsburghpa.gov with your comments. A few things to be aware of that the consultants presented last week 1. the bike lanes would be a different, smoother material than the cartway for motor vehicles thus separating the two modes via different materials and slowing down the latter 2. the big theme was the ability to use the space for many different things thus making it more of a shared European-style street. This is the reason they don’t want curbs. 3. They talked about adding another bikeway in back of the Produce Terminal as well.
