About the MOVEPGH Design Workshops:

MOVEPGH Workshop #2 is the second of four (4) week-long MOVEPGH public designworkshops to be held around the City a six month period. Each workshop highlights different portions of the City of Pittsburgh--Click here to view the map of focus geographies of all four workshops.  These “design studio” workshops are multi-disciplinary, working design sessions where stakeholders, designers, technical experts, and the public work together to develop, design and plan solutions.  The MOVEPGH team works all week long in a different location for each of the four Workshops to develop and test various design and planning ideas related to:

• transportation solutions for areas of change and redevelopment;
• expanding multi-modal choice;
• developing street designs and complete streets;
• creating interlinked bike, pedestrian, transit, and street networks;
• protecting areas of no change;
• expanding connectivity;
• selectively expanding vehicle capacity

Workshop Format:

Each of the four workshops follows a similar schedule:

Day 1 – Evening Kick-off meeting
