Avoid Butler Street and take a calm connection through the Lawrenceville Neighborway
To avoid busy Butler Street, take a calmer connection through Lawrenceville on the new Lawrenceville Neighborway! This Neighborway is part of the MoveForwardPGH campaign, an initiative of the City of Pittsburgh’s Department of Mobility and Infrastructure to implement their new Bike(+) Plan.
A Neighborway is the newest street type in the City of Pittsburgh. It’s a street, or series of connected streets, where motor vehicle speeds and volumes are kept low to make it more comfortable for existing residents, while also making it safer for people to walk, ride a bike, and for kids to play.
Neighborways are located on low-volume residential streets to provide a low-stress alternate route to a major arterial while discouraging drivers from using the street as a cut-through. Because Neighborways are traffic-calmed and do not include bike lanes, the impact on parking and the existing street layout is minimal.
Extending from Hatfield Street to Willow Street, the Lawrenceville Neighborway has been outfitted with wayfinding signs, speed humps, sharrows, and other features to make it a safer route for people biking, walking, or rolling alike.
