Interactive StoryMap

Join a Movement to Link and Enhance Pittsburgh's Riverfronts between the West End, Hot Metal, and 31st Street Bridges... and Beyond

From October 1 - November 15, 2020, this StoryMap collected feedback to help inform future Riverlife efforts to complete the Loop of Pittsburgh's riverfront public open spaces.

Learn how the feedback collected from this StoryMap informed Riverlife's vision for connecting and enhancing 15 miles and 1,055 acres of Pittsburgh's riverfronts by visiting  RiverlifePGH.org/Loop . This website has a recording of the "Completing the Loop" Virtual Public Meeting and includes a survey where you can provide your feedback on the design recommendations.
