Sixth Avenue at Fifth Avenue
Safety Improvement Site
June 8, 2025

PRT’s contractor recently installed a new and expanded sidewalks, 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 signals, and illuminated countdown signs.
While this is not a PRTX station location, the new infrastructure will improve safety and
accessibility for everyone.
