A $31 million outdoor civic area will debut next year in Pittsburgh’s Downtown Cultural District, component of an ongoing effort for the Golden Triangle.

Turning a long disused corridor in the city’s Cultural District into an outdoor event and recreation space is part of a strategy to shift the focus Downtown to residential and entertainment uses and away from office space.
“It will be a position in which colleagues can meet after work, so that families lead their young people to play, so that other people leave their first appointments,” said Sara Innamorato, director of the Algheny County. “Actually, it will become an asset for the Pittsburgh population for coming generations. “
The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust plans to finish the task within 12 to 18 months.
This is one component of a major $600 million downtown revitalization championed through Gov. Josh Shapiro. This plan seeks to convert unused work area into affordable housing, public safety, and create more network areas.

A building belonging to the cultural district at the intersection of ninth and Penn will be a guest medium with public restrooms.
“The civic area is really designed for public use,” Switkin said, adding that cultural acceptance as true is committed to providing loose activities and occasions to welcome others from all sources of income levels. “It’s a position that everyone can find themselves in. “
