“Hell no! DOMi and Bike PGh are 100% wrong on this one. There is no need for a bike lane here, I bike through the strip regularly on Smallman St, it’s much wider and safer. DOMI is out of control the last few years with bike lanes and traffic calming. They pay no attention to community input unless it’s those that agree with them.
Bike PGH, DOMI and Council woman Barb Warwick want the City to be so congested the only option is to ride a bike or public transit. We tried that once in East Liberty years ago and it destroyed the business district.”

“The strip is one of the most notable areas in the city for the residents of Pittsburgh and already has plenty of areas for Bikers to travel through. They have an entire trail with incredible views of the river. They don't need to be losers who clog up the road in one of the most historic areas in our city. Let them have East Liberty, but don't let those fools have our Strip.”

“Bad,bad,bad city planning idea!!!!!!!”

“It would have such a negative affect of the fun atmosphere the Strip holds while shopping.”

“To change such a historical beautiful place would be disaster. I am a city resident and 3rd generation patron of more than a dozen strip district businesses. Unfortunately this would cause me to avoid the strip district for shopping and driving.”

“This is the dumbest idea ever and the political action group Bike Pgh needs to be stopped”

“The city is supposed to work for us- not the other way around!!! The leaders of the strip district’s government, businesses, and homeowners should have the final say in these changes. Obviously.”

“I've already seen some of DOMIs "improvement plans" in action and I am not impressed. I watched from my job as they changed the intersection of Forbes and Dallas, and it has wrecked parking for our business, caused daily traffic accidents, and amplified the road rage outside our building, a children's learning center. I watch from my desk daily as people drive the wrong way up a one way intersection into oncoming traffic. The city and DOMI have ignored all requests made to reevaluate the safety of this intersection, believing their job is done, and society will magically change to accommodate after a few years.
I have no hope they'll do any better in the Strip, and they should be stopped before they get the chance to try and create a new mess that they are unwilling to bend on.”

“Yinz are going to be putting people's lives at risk because your stupid —- don't seem to realize that emergency vehicles won't be able to respond in a timely manner, if at all really! Also, a lot of the bikers in Da Burgh are —- who don't use the bike lane even when there is a clearly designated lane for them to use or follow traffic patterns and laws of the road anyway…screw them. The Gainey administration needs to pull it's head out of its —-, and stop mismanaging the city, jag offs….”

“Preserve the integrity and historic feel of the strip!”

“Slowly this historic section of Pittsburgh is dying, This area brings in much needed tourism dollars for downtown Pittsburgh.”

“Enough with the bike lanes…”

“The sidewalks are already in shambles, overcrowded, and unsafe. Now you are encouraging pedestrians to walk in a bike lane and risk getting hit by a rage filled driver. I would rather see speed bumps to slow traffic and working traffic lights that allow safe crossings. This plan does not make the area safer.”

“Frequent the strip for the shopping, bike lane would make accessibility too difficult.”

“We go the strip quite frequently and traffic is already an issue, but going to 1 lane, you are forcing people to NOT want to come at all. This is a horrible idea.”

“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.”
