The Nine Mile Run stream is the last visible stream of the original Pittsburgh watershed streams. The Nine Mile Run area is also one of the few remaining large land parcels available for development within the city limits. The site's entire surface area will eventually be surrounded by a contiguous public greenway along the stream's run from Frick Park to the Monongahela River. The Nine Mile Run stream and land mass provide a potential aesthetic and economic model of the benefits of open space reclamation in brownfields and related impact on nearby housing developments.
 

One of the goals of providing this website is to allow the public to access information concerning the greenway development at Nine Mile Run. The links from this page provide information about recent and upcoming community meetings concerning Nine Mile Run, a Community Resource and Research Center located at the Nine Mile Run, the public workshop series, "Ample Opportunity: A Community Dialogue," media coverage of the project, as well as weekly updates of what the NMR team is doing!
