Transportation Planning: Adaptation Through Connection

by Thoughts?

As we help communities design their streets, transportation systems, and public spaces, we recognize the uncertainty that big changes can bring. By focusing on the fundamentals of walkable communities and safe, accessible networks, we will be resilient.

Three buildings in Pittsburgh earned performance recertifications with help from evolveEA: 411 Seventh Ave (Energy Star), US Steel Tower (WELL HSR), and Desmone Architects (WELL Gold).

Etna Ecodistrict Education & Planning

The Etna EcoDistrict is building on the successes and methods of neighboring ecodistricts and participating in the Triboro Ecodistrict. evolveEA designed a full year community education curriculum that explores key ecodistrict concepts of Water, Food, Energy, Air, Mobility, and Equity.

Living Cities Masterplan

Like many post-industrial communities, the Larimer neighborhood has seen massive amounts of disinvestment in its residents, organizations and infrastructure. In collaboration with the community, evolveEA articulated a “living cities” vision that examined ways that energy independence, net zero water use, and localized food economies could make the existing community more resilient and attract and sustain equitable development.

Triboro Ecodistrict

Millvale, Etna, and Sharpsburg are three rivertown communities whose pursuits of district scale sustainability brought them together as a multi municipal ecodistrict to pool their forces.

Transit Oriented Food

We are excited to welcome a record-breaking Rail~Volution crowd to Pittsburgh this month! As such, we will be using the conference’s hashtag to invite our friends from out of town to take local transit to food and drink spots all around the city.

Millvale Food Hub

The Millvale Food Hub is a mixed-use building located on the main street of Millvale’s Town Center. The project called for the renovation of an historic building that had been left vacant for over a decade. Our community visioning process helped establish the goal of attracting a food-based business as a primary tenant, since Millvale had previously been dubbed a food desert.
