Transportation and Mobility
Healthy Ride (Pittsburgh's Bike Share) - Hill District Station Relocation Survey (click below)
The transportation and mobility study that we are preparing for the Hill District is just one component of the larger ongoing effort to update and adopt your Greater Hill District Master Plan. This study is for everyone who lives, works, visits, and loves the Hill District.
Our efforts focus on the ability for users of all ages and abilities to easily and safely access jobs, schools, grocery stores, doctors, recreational opportunities, and other services that are essential to the function of any city. Improvements and enhancements to the transportation network that make it more accessible for all users regardless of age, ability, or mode play a vital role in one’s economic mobility.
The transportation and mobility study is informed by community input, transportation analyses, and prior plans, and it is guided by the mobility goals expressed in your original 2011 Greater Hill District Master Plan.
Throughout this process, we will be working with the community to identify mobility needs as well as short- and long-term priority projects. We hope you will join us throughout this process.
We are asking you to tell us about the areas of highest concern, need, and opportunity related to mobility and transportation in the Hill District. We have been compiling findings and formulating a list of both short- and long-term projects by project type. We are interested in your feedback on this set of draft mobility projects.
In the Mobility Action Team meetings, we are bringing the list of draft project proposals to you for your review and revision, so we can talk about them further, identify where the opportunities and challenges exist, and make sure the projects are prioritized in a way that reflects community needs and feedback. Community members may also choose to suggest new proposals as needed. Ultimately, we aim to put together a comprehensive list of projects and other recommendations to improve access and mobility for Hill District residents that help address existing needs and support revitalization efforts in line with community goals.
The more we hear from you and the more we talk through the needs, concerns, issues, and opportunities as they relate to transportation and mobility in the Hill District, the stronger the recommendations that come out of the plan will be.
We are building off the mobility goals identified in your original 2011 Greater Hill District Master Plan, and we will also be considering recommendations from other plans, such as the Centre Avenue Redevelopment and Design Plan (2015) and the Bedford Connects Transformation Plan (2018).
This website is used as the main portal for collecting feedback. It is the space where you can see what others are saying and get information about what is happening next.
The Mobility Action Team is a working group (open to the public to join) of community members and staff focused on reviewing and revising the mobility proposals generated by the transportation and mobility study and also suggesting new proposals as needed. Proposed short and long-term projects and programs are aimed at making it easier, safer, and healthier to get to and around the Hill District. We invite you to complete the surveys at the top of this page.
The four Action Team Meetings were held on Zoom during the evenings of December 14th, 2021, February 1st, 2022, March 1st, 2022, and March 8th, 2022. The video recordings and presentation slides can be found immediately below. If you could not attend or would like to add more comments, sets of questions for each of the action team meetings are available below for you to provide feedback.
