Reply to comment by newcitynewme724 in Brilliant Line will provide a car-free route across Allegheny River by hydrateandchill

This specifically does not, but it would tie in on both sides of the rivers.

There is a trail in the works through Sharpsburg as part of the Allegheny Shores development (formerly known as Riverfront 47). ARP is hopeful they'll have a 1.5 mile temporary trail through Sharpsburg next year.

Unfortunately, the biggest issue is Etna; they have to get land/rights from the railroad to continue the trail.

If you want to see this become a reality, please donate!

I thought Etna's park has three stages and only the first completed.

There is about a mile between the etna park and Shaler.

You could be right. I said below I wasn't certain. But some of it is Shaler and they're just sitting on it

Here is the google map with Etna's boundary in red. That short tiny squiggle at the 62nd street bridge is the current park. It has to head west on railroad property.

The remaining 1.5 miles is in Shaler; likely due to railroad as well.

Double checked boundaries against the etna boro
