Coneman Tip of the Week: 9th & Penn Garage Closure
As of Friday, May 31, the Pittsburgh Parking Authority’s 9^th Street and Penn Avenue Garage in the Cultural District was closed in preparation for the start of demolition operations that will take place during June. At this time, both 9^th Street and Penn Avenue are not anticipated to be impacted by this work and should not experience any street closures. The demolition is tied to the Parking Authority’s $25 million capital campaign to improve five garages over the next 5-10 years and the replacement project was timed to occur concurrently with the conclusion of a five-year repair program ensuring all of the other Downtown facilities would be operating at full capacity.

David Onorato, the Authority’s Executive Director, recently announced in a press release that the construction is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2020 and will be a “ParkSmart” gold certified structure.

Was your commute impacted by this garage closure and are you now looking for different ways to get around? Here are some additional resources and commute strategies to mix into your routine:

• For real-time transit information and planning your trip using one or multiple modes, download the Transit app (also includes the locations of healthy ride stations & hailing a Uber/Lyft), the Busgazer app, or Port Authority’s TrueTime website app
• For those who live within city limits, find the location of the nearest Healthy Ride station or hop on your own bike. Also check out BikePGH’s map and suggested routes to build some cycling confidence
• Complete the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission’s CommuteInfo Commute Options Report to determine better ways to get around, by using transit, carpooling, or vanpooling
• If you drive, use the ParkPGH app for finding real-time parking availability for garages. Instead of parking directly Downtown, park in a garage/lot in the North Shore and take the T or walk across a bridge to your final destination
