Hillside

Opportunities for Hillside Protection PDF - At the direction of Councilman Peduto and City Council, the Department of City Planning conducted a feasibility study to determine the appropriateness of an action by City Council to preserve land on the City’s hillsides.

Guyasuta Fellowship 2006

Guyasuta is a citizens' forum for Pittsburgh's and the region's young people and young-at-heart to propose their own solutions to transportation needs – while also enjoying access to the information resources that only elected officials typically have. We’ll help you understand the local transportation issues thoroughly so that you can become informed and effective, and help others to do the same. Guyasuta recommendations will be presented to Pittsburgh City Council and other regional governments, authorities and key appointed transportation-related committees.
