Does the North Shore Connector help link North Shore parking and Downtown Pittsburgh?
Yes. Serving parking on the North Shore with a rapid transit link provides additional options for commuters bound for the Golden Triangle. As downtown parking remains limited, increasing parking options are key goals of the City of Pittsburgh’s Downtown Plan. As such, the North Shore Connector is a vital component to the city’s redevelopment plans. With a new parking garage open on the North Side, implementation of the North Shore Connector is vital to the success of making Pittsburgh attractive to existing residents and businesses while attracting new people and businesses to the area.
