The Strip District of Pittsburgh welcomes over 7.5 million annual visitors to our unique Penn Avenue Business District.

Existing Liberty Ave. Lane Reduction Project & Ongoing Smallman St. Construction already restrict Inbound Access.

Now, the City of Pittsburgh has plans to restrict Penn Ave into a Single Lane Road. Proposed changes will have a Lasting Negative Impact for our Beloved and Historic Business District Community.

  • Stifling Access
  • Increased Traffic Congestion & Backups
  • Impede Emergency Vehicles
  • Hindrance for Residents
  • Unworkable Loading Zones
  • Delivery & Pickup Delays and Interruptions
  • Economic Loss for the Community
  • Frustrated Visitors that will not Return
  • Devastation for Local Business

In May of 2024, with overwhelming support from our impacted businesses, The Strip District Business Association submitted, to the Mayor’s Office and DOMI, a formal Letter of Opposition to this project. You can Review Letter Here:
