Point State Park (update for 3rd edition p 20) The Ft Duquesne Bridge ramp and the Pittsburgh Cultural District Trail (along the south side of the Allegheny River) both provide entry to Point Park. The route through the park emerges on Commonwealth Place near the Hilton. Bicycles and rollerblades are restricted to designated routes in Point Park. If you walk across to the service road near the Mon River, you can join a narrow sidewalk beside the highway ramp. This narrow sidewalk turns into a narrower ramp down to the Mon Wharf, and you can exit the other end of the Wharf on the car ramp. Don’t try this at rush hour, and bear in mind that you’ll wind up at the corner of Ft Pitt Blvd and Wood St, both one-way in the wrong direction. The city plans to improve this connection with redevelopment of the Mon Wharf in 2002-03, with expected completion June 2003 |
