Map of Proposed and Existing Sidewalks

View Map of all segments.

Along Fort Couch Road where the Consol sidewalk ends

This sidewalk will connect to the existing sidewalk along Consol Property, providing walkers and bicyclists with a convenient route to South Hills Village Shopping Center, Cinema Crossgates Plaza, and Norman Center. Fort Couch Middle School and Eisenhower Elementary School would be safely accessed by students within walking distance without concern of traveling near traffic on Fort Couch Road. View the map

Where a path has been worn by pedestrian travel along Route 19

Currently, Route 19 does not support pedestrian travel, although it is the most trafficked road in Upper St. Clair and connects many destinations within the township. Connecting Upper St. Clair High School and the Township Municipal Building, the Log Cabin, Gilfillan Park and Trail, West Minster Church, South Hills Village Shopping Center, and Cinema, Crossgates Plaza, and Normancenter, a sidewalk along Route 19 will provide walkers and bicyclists access to a range of locations. Segment 2: Route 19 View the map

McLaughlin Run Road

The extension of the existing sidewalk along McLaughlin Run Road would allow pedestrians and athletic facility users further access to the playing fields of Marmion Park and also the Upper St. Clair Township Post Office and Pinebridge Commons. Also, because the narrow berm of this two-lane road is frequently bicycled, a sidewalk accessible by bicyclists would provide a safer means of travel. View the map

Pinebridge Commons along McLaughlin Run Road

The proposed development along McLaughlin Run Road north of Lesnett Road would be a convenient location to extend a sidewalk from the Upper St. Clair Township Post Office and Pinebridge Commons, giving quick and safe pedestrian access to residents of the development. Whether this sidewalk follows the road or creek is currently undetermined. View the map

Wiltshire Park along McMurray Road

This segment has great benefits notwithstanding its short distance. It will connect some of the most frequented locations in Upper St. Clair, including the local Y.M.C.A., Wiltshire Park, and the Municipal Building. Besides increasing the safety of pedestrian travel to these areas, this sidewalk segment will further popularize these facilities. The route of this segment, either along the road or creek, has yet to be decided. View the map

An incomplete pedestrian crossing near St. Louise DeMarillac Church

This sidewalk will connect Springfield Commons, the Wesley Institute, St. Louise DeMarillac Church, Wiltshire Park and Johnston Park. It is crucial to forming a loop within the community, allowing travelers a continuous path through well-populated neighborhoods. View the map

Hays Park along Hays Road

A sidewalk extending from Route 19 to Hays Park would allow the pedestrian traffic along Hays Road to travel safely without becoming a hazard to motorists. View the map

Boyce Middle School along Boyce Road

The short segment along Boyce Road would allow safe travel for students wishing to walk to school, as well as the residents who would like to use the many facilities open to them near Boyce Middle School without having to use an automobile. These locations include Boyce Fields and Boyce Park and Trail. View the map

Ashlawn Drive

The Morton Road Sidewalk would connect Boyce Middle School and Streams Elementary School while also joining the existing sidewalk along Hastings Mill Road. The main function of this segment would be to provide a safe and efficient sidewalk for elementary students within walking distance of Streams Elementary School. View the map

Baker Elementary School Entrance on Morton Road

Many recreational sport teams and residents use Morton Fields and Baker Park along this stretch. Because there is often little or no room on the berm of the road, pedestrian travel is limited. A sidewalk would allow these residents a safe means to access these parks as well as Baker School. View the map

Incomplete pedestrian access to Baker Park along Morrow Road

The shortest segment of the plan would safely connect residents near Baker Park to the facilities and fields it offers. View the map

Entrance to St. Clair Country Club along Old Washington Road

The sidewalk continuing the existing Hastings Mill Road Sidewalk and connecting to the Upper St. Clair Township Building would also include the entrance of the St. Clair Country Club. Additionally, this segment is a piece of a planned look to be formed within the township. View the map

The end of the Consol sidewalk at the intersection of Route 19 and Fort Couch Road

Although this existing sidewalk extends only through the Consol property, its high usage supports the idea of providing for safe pedestrian travel. The sidewalk, which begins at the intersection of South Hills Village Shopping Center, follows Fort Couch Road until residential properties begin; hence, a complete pedestrian travel to the commercial center of Upper St. Clair Township. View the map

The sidewalk along Upper St. Clair High School property on Truxton Drive

long the west side of Upper St. Clair High School, a sidewalk connects the high school to McLaughlin Run Road. However,   the sidewalk runs no further than Truxton, leaving walkers and bicyclists to walk on the berm of McLaughlin Run Road to get to such places as the Township Municipal Building, Community Recreation Center, Ball Fields, Golf Course and Tennis Courts. Such a link from the high school and its newly renovated stadium will allow greater freedom in pedestrian travel to these facilities. View the map

A sidewalk along the Upper St. Clair Tennis Courts by McLaughlin Run Road

The current composition of this sidewalk includes landscaped areas along the tennis courts up to Morrow Road and also sidewalks throughout Municipal Park. Nonetheless, there are still areas along this path that disappear into inadequate berms. Although walkways exist along this road, many areas could benefit from refurbishment. This area along McLaughlin Run Road contains many of Upper St. Clair Township's most used facilities ranging from the playing fields to the library to the community center. An improvement to this area's sidewalks will result in easier access to these important community destinations. View the map

The sidewalk along Hastings Mill Road

The latest sidewalk addition to Upper St. Clair Township is along Hastings Mill Road. Although the segment's only destinations are near Morton Fields Complex and Route 19, the sidewalk is heavily traveled by many of the residents in this area. This segment represents a beginning of a linked community wide system of sidewalks and bikeways. View the map
