Sixth Avenue at Fifth Avenue
Safety Improvement Site
August 22, 2025

PRT's contractor recently installed a new and expanded sidewalk, new curbs, and accessible ramps on Sixth Avenue between Fifth Avenue and Diamond Street adjacent to the Allegheny County Courthouse and on Fifth Avenue at Sixth Avenue adjacent to Duquesne University's Libermann Hall.
Intersection improvements include new traffic signals and crosswalks, accessible pedestrian signals, push button audible signal, and illuminated countdown signs. While this is not a PRTX station location, the new infrastructure will improve safety and accessibility for everyone.
