Although the major components of the East Busway Extension project are complete, associated components are in various stages of planning or design.

Edgewood Train Station
The rehabilitation of the historic Edgewood Train Station will be an added amenity for borough residents. The station will be restored to its original appearance and decor, providing a nostalgic glimpse into our region's railroad history. Although the restoration will not include a busway station, the Edgewood Train Station’s heating, air conditioning, pluming and electrical systems will be updated to accommodate office or retail space. Construction on the station’s roof is anticipated to begin in Spring 2006.

Edgewood Station, Linear Park and Pedestrian Bridge
A busway station, pedestrian bridge and linear park are additional initiatives under consideration in the Borough of Edgewood. These enhancements are subject to community input, public review, Federal Transit Administration approval and contingent upon the availability of funding and resources. Port Authority is committed to working with the borough to design and develop a station and park that responds to community desires. The station is being planned with a pedestrian bridge connecting to the popular Edgewood Towne Centre to a new station along the busway.

Eastern Corridor Transit Study
Port Authority and the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) recently concluded an effort to identify future public transportation improvements and alternatives needed to enhance mobility in the population-dense eastern corridor between Downtown Pittsburgh and the western corridor of Westmoreland County. The Westmoreland County Transit Authority is also a partner in the $1 million study. The study, which concluded in late 2004, examined and identified several bus rapid transit, light rail transit, commuter rail and other lower cost enhancements. The next phase of the study is currently underway to identify the preferred alternatives in the eastern corridor, which could include further busway extensions. This study is anticipated to conclude in mid 2006. Click here for more information.
