Drop in any time! *Evening Wrap-up Meetings* summarize all of the input received during the previous four days and offer another opportunity for an interactive discussion with other stakeholders and the MOVEPGH Team. *Contact:* Patrick Roberts Principal Transportation Planner Office: 412-255-2224 Email <patrick.roberts@pittsburghpa.gov> Pittsburgh City Planning Website <http://www.planpgh.com> Stephen Patchan Bike/Ped Coordinator Office: 412-393-0150 Email <stephen.patchan@pittsburghpa.gov> Pittsburgh City Planning Website <http://www.planpgh.com> © 2012 City of Pittsburgh <http://pittsburghpa.gov> | Pittsburgh City Planning <http://pittsburghpa.gov/dcp> | [image: Facebook]<http://www.facebook.com/planpgh>| [image: Twitter] <http://twitter.com/planpgh> Having trouble seeing this message?
