A few years ago, a concept was made: https://nextpittsburgh.com/features/brilliant-plan-bikes-pittsburgh-designers-vision-defunct-brilliant-branch-railroad/
Repost from facebook per Trish Flint Klatt (ARP Boardmember):
⭐️⭐️BIG NEWS⭐️⭐️
Allegheny Valley Railroad has agreed to sell ARP the Brilliant Line, a magnificent nearly 4 mile long rail corridor stretching from the Park, up Washington Boulevard into the East End, down to Verona and the Waterworks Mall..
The Park is applying for federal stimulus funding to purchase this amazing trail corridor and YOU can help us get this funding by responding to this survey here. We'll send it to Representative Connor Lamb and the Transportation Committee for their consideration.
Want to do more to help? After responding to the survey at https://aspinwallriverfrontpark.org/help-secure-the-brilliant-line/
👉👉. PLEASE send an email or PDF letter of support to susan@aspinwallriverfrontpark.org.
The more responses and emails letters we have the better chances we have! Our goal is to have at least 100 by Tuesday. Thank you in advance for your help and advocacy on behalf of green space and trails.
The deadline for all this is on Tuesday (crazy we know!) - so please respond by Monday evening if you can.
