South 21st Street Design Charrette

South Side Green Infrastructure Charrette is a unique design and visioning event, sponsored by the Pittsburgh Green Infrastructure Network (GIN). The event will bring together the region’s most creative design and environmental professionals to design a green link along 21st St, a 12-block corridor that connects South Side Park to the Three Rivers Heritage Trail along the Mon. The goal of the charrette is to create a demonstration district of green infrastructure and green street strategies that can reliably remove stormwater from the region’s overburdened sewer system, improve transportation corridors for all us- ers, and serve as a template for green streets and community green space in Pittsburgh neighborhoods.

There will be a public presentation of the designs on Saturday, April 12th at the Brew House Association followed by a social.

More information on the charrette is available here: http://www.southsidegreen.com/
