Envisioning Forward-Murray Gateway
Working with Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) masters of Urban Design and Real Estate Design and Development classes, the Squirrel Hill Urban Coalition facilitated two community discussions on envisioning a new future for the Forward/Murray area. The idea was to generate alternative visions that might encourage future, positive investments along Forward Avenue and nearby sections of Murray Avenue in the Squirrel Hill business district. The Final Report shared here showcases the students’ analysis of the area and the possible scale of future development. In the report, they share long-range transformative ideas for the area, as well as provide some highlights of near-term strategies for the Forward-Murray Gateway.
