Take action to support these upcoming & in-progress projects

Hill District New Pathways – New Pathways is a major infrastructure and mobility investment in the Hill District, supported by federal RAISE program funding through the City of Pittsburgh. Learn more about the project and share your thoughts via two project surveys.

BRT Updates – Construction on the PRTX Bus Rapid Transit “University Line” is nearly done Downtown and well underway on its route to Oakland with new bus lanes, bumpouts, and more. Learn more about the project, read our blog about related bike/ped improvements, and remember to support public transit.

Butler St Bike Lanes? – We’ve known the City and PennDOT have been collaborating to put protected bike lanes on Butler St between 57th St and One Wild Place. There’s still a bit of a wait to when they are complete, but it looks like they’re getting an early start!

Penn Ave Rightsizing – The City is still in active discussions with businesses and stakeholders in the corridor to create a design that works for all. Stay tuned – we expect some announcements very soon, but in the meantime, you can still provide feedback on the Engage Page.

S 18th St Corridor Safety Project – The City will be sharing draft designs for “quick build” safety improvements on S 18th St between E Carson St and Monastery Ave, which we hope will include a climbing bike lane. Share your thoughts at the public meeting on June 24th!

LED Streetlight Modernization – The City recently kicked off upgrades to 35,536 streetlights citywide over the next two years. Check out their tracker to monitor progress.

Boundary St Enhancement Plan – This well-used connection from Oakland to Panther Hollow and the trails beyond has never felt very safe, and the City is working on a plan to make it better.

And then go enjoy these recently completed projects!

Homewood Traffic Calming – The City recently completed a suite of traffic calming projects on Hamilton Ave (see picture above) and Murtland St after residents and BikePGH advocated for changes in the wake of 9-year-old Courtney Carter’s death nearly 1 year ago.

North Ave Safety Project – Work on North Ave along Allegheny Commons is making good progress with new concrete medians recently installed to calm traffic and improve pedestrian crossings by narrowing the car lanes. Go see for yourself!

Forbes & Braddock Intersection – New traffic signals have been installed at Forbes & Braddock along with dedicated bike signal and a ramp to help people biking transition off the shared path over the Fern Hollow Bridge. Check out our explainer for how to use it!

Davis Ave Bridge  After years of anticipation, planning, and construction — the new Davis Avenue Bridge is officially open to the public!

William St Landslide Remediation –  This “if you know you know” route up to Mount Washington is done with its glow up, and it looks pretty great.

Traffic Calming & Sidewalk Gaps – DOMI has announced several projects that will address missing/broken sidewalks and implement traffic calming across the City. Some are already complete!

City Steps – The City Steps at Stanton & McCandless were recently completed, and many more are being worked on across the city this year.

Archive Of Significant Completed Bike & Pedestrian Projects

Since 2002, we’ve been pushing for ways to reimagine our streets, tirelessly working to make it better and safer for Pittsburghers who bike, walk and roll, while helping bring our city over 100 miles of bike lanes, neighborways and other on-street network markings. Our advocacy has not only changed the physical landscape, but has also changed minds. We’ve come a long way from “Worst City in the US to ride a bike” to where we are now, and we can’t wait to see what the future will bring.

Here is an archive of bike and pedestrian infrastructure improvements we’ve had a hand in making happen.

2024 Projects

Euclid Ave at Station St

Station St at Highland Ave

Penn Circle 2-Way Conversion – It took about a decade, but the Penn Circle 2-Way Conversion Project in East Liberty is complete, with protected bike lanes and intersections in both directions!


Woods Run Asphalt Art Street Mural – Over the course of 2024, we worked with the Carnegie Library Woods Run, DOMI, and AARP to install an asphalt art street mural, and developed a “how to” guide for others who are interested.

Stanton Ave Bike Lanes – New bike lanes and traffic calming measures have been installed along Stanton Ave.

> Lower Greenfield Ave Climbing Lane – A short but helpful uphill bike lane was added on lower Greenfield Ave between the residences of the 300 Block to Kaercher St as part of the Greenfield Ave traffic calming.
