By working with TreeVitalize, the Taking Care of Business Districts Program has planted more than 1,500 street trees in our neighborhoods alone. TreeVitalize supplies the trees and educates the property owner on tree care, while the City covers the costs of the expansion of street tree pits, the tree planting and the new street tree pit costs. Trees have been planted in the following neighborhoods: Carrick, Morningside, Marshall Shadeland, Lower Lawrenceville, Bloomfield, East Liberty, Hill District, Manchester, Polish Hill, Perry South, West End and the Strip District with more slated for this fall and future plantings.

Through TCOB and in partnership with Bike Pittsburgh, the City has installed 200 bike racks in business districts and main corridors across the City.
Each of our Neighborhoods has its own character. The TCOB program works to provide neighborhood-specific banners to neighborhood business districts. This allows the business district to design their own banner that fits into their overall business district branding campaign. The program will then work to fabricate and install the banners in the business districts. Banners that have used the TCOB program are currently up in Lawrenceville and Oakland.
