Pittsburgh Regional Transit has proposed a lite version of the complete overhaul it proposed in 2024. The “Bus Line Refresh” proposes boosting service to popular routes and adding connections between Allegheny County communities. This update would cut 13 routes but add nine new ones. The transit authority was previously known as Port Authority Transit and is now often called PRT.

It’s not a new idea, but it might be one whose time has come. The Bus Line Refresh is an opportunity to push for a connection that transit advocates and Hazelwoodians have been requesting for years, according to Pittsburghers for Public Transit Executive Director Laura Wiens.

The Feb. 10 Greater Hazelwood monthly hybrid community meeting saw a robust turnout. Neighbors gathered to hear about the next housing development coming to Hazelwood Green and events planned on the plaza this year. Remember the bus shelters with a migratory theme? They are getting closer to landing. But first, attendees heard about housing study findings that may shape affordable housing development in the neighborhood for years to come.

During a Jan. 31 Pittsburgh Regional Transit board meeting, over a dozen speakers raised concerns about the transit redesign plan.
