The launch of a digital dashboard and allotment of at least $2 million in investments are aimed at further revitalizing Downtown Pittsburgh.
IndexPGH, the digital tool that gives Downtown visitors a snapshot of the city’s economy, cleanliness, safety, public health, overall energy and liveliness, was launched Wednesday, Aug. 16.
The Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership also announced investments in public safety and health outreach, as well as bolstered programming in Market and Mellon squares, temporary public restrooms and enhanced beautification and lighting.
The restrooms will be located in three Downtown locations (to be announced at a later date) in trailer facilities with heat, running water and lights. They will be staffed 16 hours a day for cleanliness and safety.
According to the Allegheny Conference, public and private sector leaders will evaluate how to transition to permanent public restrooms during the six-month trial.
