  • Chapter Title
    Centre County Demographics and Travel Patterns The purpose of this chapter is to describe Centre County in terms of demographics, major and minor trip generators, planning and zoning, and travel patterns. This information, when considered relative to the inventory of available transportation modes in Centre County, helps to identify specific areas that present the greatest need for transportation improvements. The large land area of Centre County (almost 1,100 square miles), and the County’s mountain ridges and valleys impact the physical layout of transportation infrastructure. Demographic indicators must also be considered within the context of these geographic attributes. Within this chapter, socioeconomic data at the census tract level from the 2010 US Census, 2009-13 American Community Survey (ACS), and the information from Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County (CBICC) is presented relative to the following categories: • Population and Density • Vehicle Availability • Income and Poverty • Labor Force and Unemployment • Public Assistance and SSI Income • Educational Attainment • Distribution of Jobs • Distribution of Age 65 and Older Population and Social Security Income • Distribution of Disabled Population • Housing Figure 2, which is a map of census tracts within Centre County, is presented on the following page.

  • Penns Valley Rail Trail
    CHAPTER 2 PHYSICAL FEASIBILITY— what is the condition of the railbed now, and what are the opportunities and constraints to repurposing it as a rail trail? Like the ingenuous footpaths Native Americans mapped out along the most dry level and direct route through the ridges and valleys centuries ago, the L&T’s surveyors and engineers followed the lowlands near the center of the valley and the gaps through the mountains carved by the creek to avoid steep slopes, locating the railbed on the natural bench above the creek or creating a new bench for the railbed where none existed before to avoid wet areas and washouts from annual Spring freshets and the occasional 100 year flood or hurricane. For the most part, that strategy worked, explaining why much of the railbed remains intact today, more than a century after it was built. Nevertheless, the corridor is not without its issues. Many sections of the railbed are overgrown with small trees and impassable thickets of invasive shrubs, the stone ballast oftentimes hidden from view beneath verdant beds of grass and moss. Puddling occurs in places where culverts filled in after the railbed was abandoned. In some areas, the railbed has been altered, removed or already repurposed for driveways, fencerows and cropland, or more intensive uses, like the Penn Township sewer plant and the Grange Fair concessions area. Some lands are in ag preservation, which prohibits non-agricultural activities, including trails. The floor of both tunnels are littered with rock, calling into question the safety of their use by the general public.

  • Allegheny's Riverfronts
    ALLEGHENY’S RIVERFRONTS A Progress Report on Municipal Riverfront Development in Allegheny County DECEMBER 2010 Allegheny County Allegheny’s Riverfronts Dear Friends: In Allegheny County, we are known for our rivers. In fact, our rivers have repeatedly been in the national spotlight – during the Forrest L. Wood Cup and Pittsburgh G-20 Summit in 2009, and during World Environment Day in 2010. We are fortunate to have more than 185 miles of riverfront property along the Allegheny, Monongahela, Ohio and Youghiogheny Rivers. Our riverfronts provide opportunities for recreation, conservation and economic development. Providing access to our waterways has always been a key priority and we have been very successful in connecting communities through our trail and greenway system. Through partnerships with businesses, foundations and trail groups, we are on target to complete the Great Allegheny Passage along the Monongahela River before the end of 2011. This trail has been improving the economy and quality of life in towns throughout the Laurel Highlands and Southwestern Pennsylvania, and now its benefits will spread north through the Mon Valley and into the City of Pittsburgh. Our riverfronts provide opportunities for greening our region through the use of new trees, rain gardens and riverside vegetation that aid in flood control, improved water quality and a more natural experience. Allegheny County riverfronts have also always been great places to live. More people will be able to experience riverfront living with the development of communities such as Edgewater at Oakmont, which promises to be one of the best new neighborhoods in the region. I am so proud of all that we have accomplished along our riverfronts and excited about all that is yet to come.
