The 21-year-old woman who was hit by a bus Monday night at Fifth and Neville near Carnegie Mellon University is expected to be released from the hospital Tuesday.
That word from Pittsburgh Regional Transit, who also says the driver, a 25-year veteran, remains off work pending the results of its investigation.
City Councilmember Barb Warwick, who championed Pittsburgh's Vision Zero program to try and curb such accidents, says it happened in as a high -injury area.
“Fifth Avenue is this really wide avenue, lot of lanes of traffic and lots of people walking back and forth . . . especially with the universities around there,” said Warwick.
She hopes the O'Connor Administration will keep Vision Zero going.
“Lots of people feel frustrated with traffic calming right? ‘We don’t like these speed bumps’ . . . but the reality is, is that they help keep people safer,” said Warwick.
Vision Zero was launched by Mayor Ed Gainey two years ago.
The woman was hit by the 58-Greenfield bus around 7 p.m. Monday night.
