In 2023, Friends of the Riverfront partnered with the City of Pittsburgh Department of Mobility and Infrastructure to raise funding through the Department of Conservation & Natural Resources to complete a Maintenance Plan for the Three Rivers Heritage trail within city limits. This plan will act as a blueprint for city departments and regional partners to guide the long term maintenance and restoration of the trail. This plan will focus on four key ares of focus:

  • Canopy and Invasive Plant Management
  • Riparian Restoration and Preservation
  • Trail Service and Drainage Management
  • Maintenance Financing

 

Additional project information can be found on the City of Pittsburgh Engage Page.

Funding
Funding for this project has been provided through the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
