MAJOR TRAIL NEWS! π£
Just announced today, a landmark agreement between the City of Pittsburgh, CSX Transportation, and Friends of the Riverfront sets forth an incredible opportunity for MAJOR connections in the Three Rivers Heritage Trail network!
This agreement will allow for 4 new miles of the Three Rivers Heritage Trail - closing a critical gap in the Strip District and extending the Trail from Hazelwood to Carrie Furnace.
This announcement builds on years of collaboration and planning, including the Hazelwood to Carrie Furnace Feasibility and Planning Project supported by the Allegheny County Department of Economic Development's Trail Development Fund. The agreement would advance trail connectivity, improve pedestrian access, and expand public access to the riverfront in communities across Pittsburgh.
We're grateful for the partnership and support of Allegheny County Government and the City of Pittsburgh working to create safer, more connected access to our riverfronts and trails. Together, we're helping turn a long-envisioned regional trail connection into reality!
