I wish @ejwme was still actively on the board. This is out her way more than mine. Elly, are you still around?
I once biked into the city from her place, roughly Saltsburg at Verona Rd. She recommended I take Verona to Lincoln Rd, which becomes Lincoln Ave, and drops you right into the back of ELib.
It was a holiday evening and traffic was light, but I recall that the trip was quite pleasant, and the climb not particularly difficult. The pavement was rotten, but that was two-maybe-three years ago, so that may have changed for either the better or worse.
Nor have I made the reverse trip, though it does look do-able. FWIW, I got out to her place via Allegheny River Blvd, which was more annoying than fun.
