Reply to comment by Capt_Reynolds in David B. Fawcett: Pittsburgh is building one of the great linear parks in the world by Closet_Coltrane

Even Butler Street above 57th is rough to ride on, and there it’s plenty wide enough to have bike lanes. I wish we’d at least connect 57th to the Zoo where there are lanes leading to highland park.

It's a PennDOT road after 62nd, so much harder to improve

PennDOT's infrastructure plan is basically to kill as many cyclists and pedestrians as possible

A bike lane from 57th to Fleming Bridge would at least be something. Does it being PennDot mean the state would have to approve/pay for it I guess?

Yea and PennDOT in general seems much less interested in these projects than the city
