Design
Advisory Teams
The PTC is committed to building a state-of-the
art model urban expressway that integrates innovative design
features and aesthetic treatments into the design to minimize
visual and other impacts throughout the project area. In several
communities with particularly sensitive community cohesion
issues and numerous displacements, Design Advisory Teams (DATs)
have been established to facilitate the discussion and integration
of the aesthetic treatments, design features and other enhancements.
The formation of DATs in specific areas
of the project was a commitment that was initially proposed
in the Draft Environmental Impact Study (DEIS) and later stipulated
in the Record of Decision (ROD). These teams were formed to
address specific issues within certain geographic areas that
were most appropriately resolved during the final design phase
of the project. The areas where the DATs have been formed
are Dravosburg, Turtle Creek, Braddock/Rankin/Swissvale, Nine
Mile Run (including Duck Hollow) and Glenwood to Bates (including
Hazelwood and South Oakland).
