The West End Trolley Trail Was Awarded Funding and the Community Wants You to Join the Conversation
A press release was published on November 21, 2019, announcing $100,000 funding from Senator Fontana for the West End Trolley Trail project that has an estimated cost of $600,000. It was said that State funds will also go into the plan that should, “connect the West End business district with the Great Allegheny Passage, the Montour Trail and the Three Rivers Trail system.”

Remember the west! A portion of the trail is already completed in the city of Pittsburgh. It is referred to as the “Clearview Park Trail’ by Crafton Borough and Traillink. https://www.traillink.com/trail/clearview-park-trail/
Google Drive folder of meeting notes and maps for the trolley trail. Future meetings will be held on the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30. Notes and handouts will be uploaded as I can do them. (Tuesdays are really bad for me for meetings.) The DoMI project manager is Patrick Bopp. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1D4Az_Hq9dW14MFe878Lkt2tMO-xrqZNC?usp=sharing
