“The Strip has already seen many changes, but this proposed change is over the top.”

“This plan will have a negative impact on me as a consumer by impeding traffic to only one lane.
There is definitely more vehicles on the streets than bicycles, Eliminating a vehicle lane is ridiculous and counterproductive for consumers and visitors to the Strip. I am opposed to this plan and it should be scrapped.”

“We have enough bike lanes in Pittsburgh that are unused and causing congestion. If people want a bike only dedication, invest in the trail along the river”

“Dangerous plan for emergency vehicles. What are you thinking?”

“Leave the strip the way it is. The only way I can see an improvement is is there was a way for more parking. This is a terrible plan. Leave the strip district the way it is”

“I hate to see you ruin the businesses in the Strip to have more bike lanes. You have already messed up most of the city. Stop doing this!”

“Leave it alone. How many friggin bike lanes do we need!?”

“SAVE THE STRIP”

“Don’t change the strip!”

“Going to the strip is a family tradition.
It part of Pittsburgh and growing up here. When my family comes from our if town. We go to the Strip for the day.
It's the soul of Pittsburgh.”

“Please do not change the Strip. We love it as it is! Parking is a premium on the Strip!”

“I was born in the Strip, baptized at St. Patrick's Church, have shopped there all my life. Changing a main street to make accommodations for the few bikers who use it on a daily basis, while ignoring the needs of businesses that make the Strip district a thriving market and tourist area, does not make sense! Once approved, these changes will be in effect year round. How many bikers are out there in the winter?? Face it! Pittsburgh is not a bike riding city and cannot be forced to be one. Don't let BIKE Pgh run our city planning or ruin the strip! BTW has anyone ever counted the biker riders on a daily basis? I think not.”

“Why does it have to be Penn ave? Make the bike lane on Railroad Street or the alley between Penn and Liberty.”

“Enough with the bike lanes. Idiot Peduto already messed things up enough with his bike lane BS. Traffic in this city needs to get BETTER, NOT WORSE.

EJECT MAYOR GAINEY ASAP”

“A one lane Penn Ave is not conducive to traffic in the Strip . It will devastate merchants that are the Strip”

“I am an avid biker, and am still against this plan. There are a few, better ways to navigate The Strip on a bike; there are not many bikes in that section of town…maybe a few commuters, and one lane of Penn is blocked more than half the time. The Strip is now, with the terminal upgrade, a destination like never before.
Don't Mess With The Strip.

Work on fixing the South Side.”

“I have always loved shopping in the strip district. So many interesting things to see and do. Do not destroy the city further. We love our city THE WAY IT IS!!!!”

“It would ruin the strip worse then the bike lanes.”

“To me as a native Pittsburgher, the Strip represents local business, respect to the history of this city, and diversity. These proposed measures take away from the essence of the strip itself and instead prioritize gentrification.”

“Do not change the strip district! It is our local grocery area”

“My wife and I have lived in Pittsburgh for 7 years and rely on the strip district for fresh produce and other food. We strongly oppose the city's plan and are willing to help in anyway to make sure it doesn't change.”

“Segregated bike lanes can be created on liberty or railroad streets for those who do not like to share the roadway”

“Love the strip. Great part of Pittsburgh”

“My kids and I travel to the strip several times a year specifically to shop. I travel to the strip to ride my bike. Please do the right thing and keep the strip how it is.”

“Have come to the strip since I was a child with my mother. Must save the Strip.”
