Neighborways are low-traffic streets that prioritize pedestrians, bicycles, and other non-vehicular traffic and offer a safer, more comfortable alternative to busy arterial streets. Neighborways typically run through residential neighborhoods and use context-appropriate traffic calming tools to keep speeds slow and safe for all users. They aim to connect neighborhoods and feature clear signs and pavement markings to help people easily navigate through Pittsburgh.
The Bloomfield Friendship Neighborway will better connect Bloomfield and Friendship neighborhoods to others, including Lower and Central Lawrenceville, North Oakland, and East Liberty, while offering an alternative to nearby busy arterials Penn Avenue and Centre Avenue. It will also connect to Pittsburgh’s existing bike network on Liberty and Negley avenues. The route will include wayfinding, speed humps, neighborhood traffic circles, and other traffic calming measures, where appropriate.
