Completing the Loop

Completing the Loop is Riverlife’s ten year plan for a vibrant, connected, and equitable riverfront trail and green space network around Downtown Pittsburgh and adjacent neighborhoods. Formerly vacant, industrial, inaccessible land is being redesigned to connect neighborhoods to riverfronts in a way that is welcoming to all. Completing the Loop is the culmination of an 18 month-long collaborative process in pursuit of a riverfront for all. An equity-centered approach resulted in an expansion of the vision, exciting and inclusive design and programming ideas, and a sense of urgency for continued progress.

The Completing the Loop report articulates Riverlife’s vision, aligns the efforts of many stakeholders, and proposes projects for a world-class riverfront. Completing the Loop’s Technical Assessment outlines key placemaking projects and identifies implementation steps for the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Confluence “River Rooms”, including partners, timelines, and issues critical to completion.
