The document evaluates the thoroughfare systems of Pittsburgh, suggesting necessary improvements to accommodate both present and future urban transportation needs. It addresses urban congestion and potential urban growth, aiming to optimize traffic flow through strategic infrastructural changes. The opening of the report sets the stage for a detailed analysis of Pittsburgh's cityscape, laying out the challenges posed by its topography and existing infrastructure. It begins by acknowledging the inadequacies of the current thoroughfare layout that restricts efficient traffic movement and heightens costs in the city. Olmsted discusses specific arteries required for effective movement within the downtown area, introducing various possible enhancements while focusing on the need for practical and aesthetic improvements in the urban development of Pittsburgh. Throughout this initial segment, the language underscores the urgency of addressing these urban planning challenges to better meet civic demands.
