The North Shore LRT Extension will expand Pittsburgh’s light rail system to serve the north shore area of the downtown which is the home to two new professional sports stadiums and a new waterfront district. The extension will also serve the new convention center and will set the stage for future extensions to areas west, north, and east of the city. Urban Design Associates was the urban design consultant and station area planner for DMJM+HARRIS for the FEIS and Preliminary Engineering phase, and was responsible for integrating the new alignment and four new stations into the city. The design process involved stakeholders and public input to explore concepts for stations access, station image and above grade rail alignments. UDA’s approach was highly visual and involved the use of area plans, perspectives and study models to explain technically complex systems to a broad audience. UDA helped coordinate the efforts of two architectural teams and landscape designers with the engineering team, the transit authority and the city. Urban Design Associates is part of the DMJM+HARRIS final engineering team, helping coordinate the design team activities of the architectural teams.
