Chuck, Visitor
“This is a horrible plan. Another bad decision by the failing city.”
Andi, Visitor
“For the safety and prosperity of the community please don’t do this project.”
Margaret, Visitor
“I have lived on Washington's Landing since 1997. Allowing cars to turn left on Penn Avenue off of the 31st Street Bridge after bridge reconstruction has caused major congestion during rush hour (4-5 light delay). If Penn Avenue is changed to one lane, all buses and cars trying to park on Penn Avenue after 31st Street will exacerbate the situation as all traffic will be halted, and will probably negatively effect Route 28. Send the bikes down to Railroad Street, that is where I walk.”
Aaron, Resident
“Spending millions of taxes payer dollars to add a bike lane, make a bottleneck scenario and create an obstacle course for fire and emergency vehicles is just insane.
The people who sit around and think up these ideas, agree and then vote on them should be removed from service immediately.
There are other areas in this city where that money can do some real good.”
Maureen, Visitor
“Are you trying to ruin the Penn Avenue strip. This would devastate businesses and visitors on Penn Avenue. The Penn Avenue strip has been established and running smoothly for years. Why would you change that unless you are trying to wipe out the Penn Avenue businesses?”
Bohdan, Visitor
“NO BIKE LANE THROUGH THE STRIP.”
Marty, Business Owner
“Currently, when vehicles are unloading or discharging passengers, you can go around them via the second lane. Eliminating a lane will cause catastrophic consequences to this area.”
Robert, Visitor
“There is Liberty Avenue and there is Smallman and Railroad Street. If those aren't enough options for bike riders then tell em to take the bus. A lot more stuff needs to be done in this city than installing bike lanes.”
Michael, Resdient & Visitor
“Everywhere bike lanes go it makes it harder for me to visit those parts of the city”
Catherine, Visitor
“Thank you for not destroying the strip”
Susan, Visitor
“Increased traffic congestion. Safety issues with just one drivable lane.”
LeeAnn, Visitor
“This is another pro bike move that will not help the customers or businesses in the Strip. Bikes can continue to use Liberty ave and do not need to travel through that part of the Strip. It is time for the regular resident and customers to the Strip to be consulted instead of having pro biker Lanes shoved on the rest of us. Leave it the way it is.”
Maria, Visitor
“Why ruin a great thing??”
Anthony, Visitor
“Plenty of other places for bike riders. Ruining this historic district for this purpose is disgusting”
Scott, Resident
“Pittsburgh doesn’t need Gainey’s woke liberal agenda anymore!!! He is looking out for his own kind!!! He doesn’t share Pittsburgh’s core values & beliefs!!! We need someone that will listen to the citizens of Pittsburgh & actually cares!!! Bike lanes are a waste of taxpayer money & hazardous danger in the strip & you are asking for lawsuits out the wazoo when they get ran over down at one of the busiest places in Pittsburgh!!! Bike lanes are a disgrace & enough is enough!!! Vote Gainey’s liberal agenda out!!! Preserve the Strip & Preserve Pittsburgh & Make Pittsburgh Great Again!!!”
Laura, Visitor
“I love coming to the strip. It pulses with excitement. And at this point I know how to get around and find parking. If you make it difficult, I’ll just stop going.”
Ronda, Visitor
“The thought that a bike lane that will be used for 3 months out of the year is a good idea is ridiculous. One lane will cause backups that I believe will hurt every business located in that area. The city has already ruined downtown Pittsburgh, no one goes there anymore. Do they want to do the same to a vibrant historic district? How will emergency vehicles get through? How can deliveries be made? Just another embarrassing plan by our city.”
Maria, Visitor
“I can not see how this will enhance the strip. We have plenty of other streets that will benefit from a bike lane. I can see how truck deliveries will be able to transport food and deliver goods to stores. We seem to cater more to bikes then small business. Sorry, I do not get it. East Liberty is a total nightmare. Fix that area first. Garfield is a nightmare to get to the strip. We need Penn a major artery fixed once and for all.”
Charles, Visitor
“This plan will make this area MORE dangerous for pedestrians. Businesses are against it. Why are these "improvements" being instituted when we don't want them. Another nail in the coffin of what was a beautiful city.”
Alex, Visitor
“Hoping the business owners are heard, they deserve the final.say, its their livelihood on the line in many cases. Additionally, to ignore the safety conflicts presented by fire cheif is wrong.”
Karen L, Visitor
“Keep the bike lane out of the strip. The street needs to be 2 lanes for cars.”
Angie, Visitor
“We don’t need another bike lane – put it on small man and we certainly don’t need single lane entry to the strip.
Susan, Visitor
“Start by getting rid of the bikes! They can use Smallman. This is an utterly STUPID IDEA!! YOU DESIGNERS WENT TO THE SCHOOL OF RUBBISH.”
Christopher, Visitor
“The bike lanes in Pittsburgh ruin every area they implement them. Bicyclists are a scourge of this planet. Whatever moron thought this was a good idea should be fired”
Pam, Visitor
“This Mayor continues to get it wrong. Do not change the strip. It’s the only reason I come into town anymore.”
Shawn, Visitor
“Please keep the road the way it is.”
Ben, Visitor
“Halt the plan”
Virginia, Visitor
“DEFUND DOMI.”
Jani, Visitor
“Don't destroy the Strip. It is a gem, holiday's are so much fun just shopping for food. The businesses make it fun.”
Heidi, Visitor
“Please leave the strip as is. For safety, access, and appeal.”
