Connecting the Loop Plan (2003)
CONNECTING THE LOOP THREE RIVERS PARK Defining Strategies for Implementation Presented by the Riverlife Task Force Pittsburgh May 2003 CONNECTING THE LOOP THREE RIVERS PARK Defining Strategies for Implementation n August 2002, Mayor Tom Murphy issued a challenge to the Riverlife Task TABLE OF CONTENTS Force: How can we link Pittsburgh’s three rivers with a continuous system of BACKGROUND 3 trails and riverfront parkland for people of all ages? Which trails are currently ELEMENTS OF THE LOOP 4 TRAIL SEGMENT ANALYSIS 7 connected? Which are not? How do we establish connections that do not yet APPENDIX 87 exist? What exciting destinations can we create along the shoreline? I. PROJECT SUMMARY 88 I II. ANTICIPATED PROBABLE COSTS 94 After walking the entire shoreline within the bounds of Three Rivers Park, we hired III. EXCERPTS FROM RIVERLIFE 96 a team of architects, landscape architects and civil engineers to present options DESIGN GUIDELINES and propose solutions for riverfront trails, bridge connections and water landings. Connecting the Loop presents a range of ways to establish a continuous trail system with acquisition, design and construction that can be phased over the next decade. We offer this as a resource for property owners, planners, developers, public agencies and non-profit organizations, and we urge them to seize moments of opportunity to undertake projects, large and small. For the Riverlife Task Force, the plan will also serve as a guide as we work with public and private stakeholders to develop long and short-term priorities. We are proud to present Connecting the Loop and we invite you to work with us to return Pittsburgh’s greatest asset to the public — its rivers and miles of shoreline. -

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. -
