I was looking for an update on the progress of the Great Allegheny Passage (which still has gaps at this end), which will eventually make it possible to bike from the Point to DC without having to dodge any traffic more threatening than cycling parents pulling those kid-trailers ... He tossed out some alluring ideas from the land of Friends of the Riverfront and the greenway
