That is a great question! I live in the Wilkinsburgh area and would love to see some improvement. However, the question is not, when will new developments start appearing in Wilkinsburgh? The real question is: when will the community members begin to form a plan to rebuild their community?

Does anyone know if any of this development will spill over into Wilkinsburg? That area is a diamond in the real rough. Development in this area has been a long time coming and would be very much welcomed.

I would like to add my support for opening a bicycle-pedestrian route connecting the end of the Beechwood Av bike lanes at Fifth Ave through Mellon Park and the Reizenstein property and connecting with Howe and Kentucky Streets. This would open a critical link for bicyclists who don’t want to ride on Fifth or Penn.

This could be done right now by simply opening the gate in the chain link fence between the old arsenal and the unused tennis court. Open it just wide enough for bikes, pedestrians, wheelchairs, and other nonmotorized uses, and block motorized use. It would also be nice to improve the surface, but just opening it would do the most important thing, which is to create the connection.

Currently the impenetrable wall between the Shadyside residential areas and Reizenstein force pedestrians and bicyclists to use Penn Ave (or Fifth Ave, which is even worse with the construction). Pedestrians at least have sidewalks, but only quite experienced bicyclists are willing to ride in the traffic on Penn.

Opening a bicycle/pedestrian connection does not have to wait for full-scale development. One small change now — an open bike/ped gate — would make Mellon Park accessible to Shadyside residents and would make it possible for people from up Beechwood to visit Shadyside.
