Getting There… from Here: Transportation Solutions for Our Region
Speaker: Sanjeev Shah, Steven Bland, Chelsa Wagner
New Hazlett Theater
July 24, 2008 6:30 p.m.
Is the auto the most convenient and efficient way to move people around our region? Can new technologies and policies help unite the region and contribute to our urban vitality? Can we use transportation to grow the city, and the region, in the right way?
The Pittsburgh region is ripe for innovation. New technologies present exciting opportunities to move people and goods around more efficiently than ever before. Light rail, extensive riverfront trails, an efficient bus system, car sharing are all heading in the right direction. But that’s just a start. Getting it “right” requires creative planning.
Join us for a charged discussion on how to get from here … to there.
And as a bonus, because we believe that everyone should have a hand in the planning process, we’ll unveil a project which will allow everyone in the region to have a voice in the role of land use and transportation planning, whether you are an urban planner, environmentalist, architect, policy maker, transportation expert, biker, boater or skater.

– Who is we? Pop City, The Heinz Family Foundation? The SPC just unvailed Project Region, which is supposed to be our regional transportation and development plan that we all FOLLOW. Early indications show it is not being followed. It had a long public input process, as did the County Plan, which also had its own public input process. Too many plans, not enough implementation?
