Pittsburghian Peds and Peddlers get $7M in 2008

written 26 Feb 2008 over a light lunch

Recently the City of Pittsburgh hired a Bicycle / Pedestrian Coordinator to help improve those of use who navigate these streets sans automotech. More recently, Venture Outdoors, an organization that provides resources to active outdoor types trying to experience everything this city’s immediate surroundings have to offer, put out an job advertisement for a Bicycle Coordinator, with a big focus on betting more cycling happening in 2008 for Pittsburgh’s 250 anniversary.

And now Pop City has two articles, one announcing $1.5M for pedestrian improvements in Oakland and another recounting the recent reopening of the Millvale Bridge, which connects Bloomfield to North Oakland, complete with new cycling facilities.

Such great news and so much of it is thanks to Bike Pittsburgh and everything they do in this city.

  • Is this an auto-post feature you’ve set up, or is this really all you have to say from the middle of the ocean??? =)

  • Hahahah. Yeah, auto-post. :)

    I just got back and though the ship had the Internet and cell communique, I had absolutely no desire to take advantage of such services.

    Who would’ve thought, cruises are fun!
