What is the idea?
A block party or arts festival held on one of Pgh's bridges
How would idea work?
- Pgh has so many bridges - it is a defining characteristic of the city
- By blocking off just one of the bridges near downtown, the city could hold a unique event
- Food, music and art
Pluses:
- Unique view of city and rivers
- No other city in the U.S. could offer this
- Enough bridges that traffic wouldn't be horribly affected
Concerns:
- Can bridges hold thousands of people for many hours?
- Safety concerns
- Traffic concerns
Community opportunities:
Those in communities on either side of the river that bridge is chosen
