The Port Authority of Allegheny County funded a study to more adequately integrate their Stage One Light Rail system in the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Beechview by improving the design of Broadway Avenue. Broadway Avenue is unique along the LRT system because the LRVs share cartways with other vehicles. With the construction of Stage Two, the main line serving the south hills will shift out of Beechview and service along Broadway Avenue will become more local in nature. With this service change and because of limited traffic on Broadway, the team recommended options for reducing the cartway to increase landscaping and sidewalk areas, improve LRT stops, make safer intersections for pedestrians and vehicles, improve the appearance of catenary poles, and develop a town square as a new focus for the community. These recommendations were developed in a public process and involved broad participation from the community, the city and consultant team. Beechview’s potential is realized by combining the efforts of street improvements with facade renovation, new signage and community events – creating an exciting ‘downtown.’
