I couldn't find a map but from her description it sounds like her district includes the Wabash Tunnel. The comment form might be a good place to plug the cycletrack that's been discussed here.

"...the Fort Pitt and West End bridges, four traffic tunnels, and a Route 51 highway corridor in serious need of investment." Westies, this seems of particular interest!

It's not just for her district, however, it's for the entire House Democratic Policy Committee so feel free to be more general.

Done. I also mentioned the importance of funding for rail transit and multi-modal capabilites for such a system. Also, a state budget issue threatening amtrak on the pittsburgh to harrisburgh segment (and the need to modernize these tracks and trains). I think we're going to loose the direct connection to Philly and will have to route via dc.
