PART II: Main Thoroughfares Pittsburgh: Main Thoroughfares and The Down Town District Frederick Law Olmsted report to The Pittsburgh Civic Commission, 1910
Wharton Street should be rounded back and an additional approach should be run along the east side of the playground. Some additional playground space can be secured by closing Sidney Street, between South Twenty-second Street and South Twenty-third Street, except for pedestrians. (Diagram No. 12.) Several other changes in the outlying thoroughfares are marked in red on the accompanying plan but are not specifically noted in this report. They are suggested changes to improve certain steep gradients but have not been thoroughly studied on the ground.
