Trail Development
Waterfront
East (including Pump House)
Partners: Steel Industry Heritage Corporation (SIHC)
The SVTC recently participated in a Master Plan for the Pump House site
(located at the eastern end of the Waterfront Development). As part
of the development of this site, the trail at the Waterfront will be
extended through the Pump House. Trail construction is underway. This site will also be a future trail head with amenities
such as parking, restrooms, benches and bike racks available to trail
users.
West Mifflin to Duquesne (USS Acquisition)
Partners: Allegheny County, US Steel Corporation, United Supply of America,
Norfolk & Southern Railroad
The SVTC is currently working with several property owners to make the
connection from the Waterfront development in West Mifflin to Duquesne.
Part of this alignment is a major acquisition from the US Steel Corporation
of a former coke gas pipeline right of way.
Duquesne to McKeesport (RIDC)
Partners: Regional Industrial Development Corporation, City of Duquesne
& City of McKeesport
The Regional Industrial Development Corporation has granted a trail
easement through both of their properties in Duquesne
and McKeesport. The trail will enter the Duquesne site at Grant Avenue.
A big part of this project is determining the river crossing to get
onto the McKeesport site. The trail will then follow a riverfront alignment
to Locust Street.
McKeesport
to Clairton
Partners: City of McKeesport, Glassport Borough, City of Clairton, Montour
Trail Corporation
The Steel Valley Trail currently uses a share of the road situation
to connect through the 10th Ward of McKeesport through Glassport and
into Clairton. In Clairton, the trail connects with the Montour Trail.
The SVTC is working with the municipalities and the Montour Trail Council
to make improvements to this alignment including improved signage and
lane stripping.
