“The plans to narrow Penn Avenue to one lane (31st Street to 22nd Street) would discourage me from visiting the Strip District. The traffic delays would be prohibitive.Alternative safety measures could be used without choking off access to the business district.”
Craig, Visitor
“This will be terrible for the businesses.”
Justin, Visitor
“Taking the strip away from Pittsburgh will be ripping part of its heart and soul in the very fabric of what it is. Do not do this foolish act.”
Krista, Resident
“Please”
Jason, Resident
“2 lanes is a must. 1 lane will destroy this community”
Brandon, Resident
“Restricting an already one way road to a single lane in one of the busiest historic districts in this city would be a disastrous decision. As a resident and someone who frequently delivers from businesses in this area, keeping the Strip as accessible as possible is the best way forward.”
Mason, Visitor
“Preserve the Strip!”
Nathan, Visitor
“I lived in Pittsburgh for 35 years before moving away for work. When I finally moved back, I was APPALLED at what had been done to the strip. Not to mention the absolute debacle of a parking situation that’s been created, but the strip has lost so much of its charm. Countless friends refuse to visit the strip based on the lack of affordable parking. I agree with them. Some of the old charm still exists, but it’s definitely much less inviting. Moving forward with this change will only drive more people away, my friends and I included.”
Rebecca, Resident
“I am come down to The Strip District multiple times per week…I am a regular in many places, including DeLuca’s.
I can not imagine the street being restricted down to one lane. This will restrict deliveries to the local establishments.
I vote NO.
Daniel, Visitor
“We come down here several times a week…this will cause a major problem that I’m not going to want to deal with.”
Jacquelyn, Resident
“This business district is the number one destination in the city of Pittsburgh!”
Kenneth, Resident
“Don't change Penn Ave.”
Brandi, Visitor
“Leave the strip district alone!”
Kelley, Visitor
“Please keep The Syrip as the historical area that it is. I grew up going there, my kids grew up going there and I want to continue that tradition with my grandkids. Please save it!”
Gary, Visitor
“Traffic is already Miserable in the strip, why would Gainey want to make it worse? This is even dumber than bike lanes”
Gerardo, Visitor
“Retired and enjoy shopping and visiting the strip every weekend”
Beverly, Visitor
“Please don’t make it difficult to navigate the strip!”
Joseph, Visitor
“Leave what is beautiful alone!!”
Diane, Visitor
“There can be a better solution.”
Dana, Resident
“This is a horrible move, if enacted, for the Strips retail shops and eateries that are the lifeblood of Penn Ave.”
