We have been working with Tarentum Borough, East Deer Township, and Environmental Planning and Design to create an initial plan to develop a segment of the Three Rivers Heritage Trail connecting Tarentum and East Deer to Brackenridge (their trail segment is going into construction over the next few months and will be completed and ready for use later this year).

You can visit a virtual tour of the project here. The virtual tour includes an interactive map of the proposed trail alignment, site photos within the corridor and descriptions of each segment.

An online survey is available here. Please take a moment to provide your input!

This project will be wrapping up with a final public meeting in March/April 2023. Meeting details will be provided here once confirmed. A final summary report inclusive of plans of the alignment, visual renderings of the proposed improvements, cost estimates and an outline of next steps will be developed to conclude the project.

Once the report is completed, the file will be made available here for review and reference.

Funding for this project was provided by the Active Allegheny Grant Program through the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County.
