It's bad enough we've waited this long for the possibility of decent river access in the Strip and Lawrenceville, now we have this...
Check out the Pittsburgh Post Gazette's article on the possibility of restricted river access and private drives via the Buncher Company along the Allegheny River in the Strip District.

especially considering the tax incentives that are being proposed to
assist the developers.
