FROM OUR STREET TO YOURS, WE WISH YOU A JOYFUL, HEALTHY AND PEACEFUL HOLIDAY SESAON!

2024 that’s a wrap. 2025 here we come!

2024 YEAR IN REVIEW

Whew…what a year!! We’re feeling grateful as we have a TON to celebrate after just one year in existence. Check out some 2024 highlights below:

CELEBRATING SUCCESS!

Our advocacy work throughout this year paid off in a BIG way! We “packed the room” to let the Commission and Mobility Board know that residents want safer streets, designed for people. Our efforts helped to bring an additional $55k to the 2025 Municipal Budget, $30k for "Mobility Improvements" and $25k for "Pedestrian Routes/Sidewalk Repairs". PLUS $112,500 for traffic calming on Scrubgrass. It also ensured that the $300k slated for new sidewalks in the capital improvement plan was carried over to the 2025 budget. If you’re doing the math, that’s $467,500 for safer streets!!!

We are shifting the narrative, slowly but surely. Keep up the great work and keep showing up! Things are just getting started…!

HOLIDAY LIGHT BIKE RIDE

Riders were nestled all snug in their gear, while holiday hits were heard far and near. Every bike was adorned in its holiday dress, as the decision was made as to which was decorated best. The smell of candy canes and hot chocolate filled the air as everyone enjoyed the splendid sights done with utmost care. And at once a new holiday tradition was born, one that will surely continue, so if you missed it don’t be forlorn.

Spreading holiday cheer, we lit up the streets of Mt. Lebanon as a group of 14 adults and 6 kids!! A special congratulations to Maya and her UNICYCLE! She took home the award, a well deserved prize! Have you ever seen a unicycle traverse a brick street?! Our community of supporters is growing and getting more fun by the minute!

SHOUT OUTS!

A very special thank you to everyone who supported Move Lebo during Pittsburgh Magazine’s Give Big Pittsburgh event. Our first time participating was a great success - we couldn’t do our work without your support!

In addition, we want to thank the Mt. Lebanon Lions Club for their very generous contribution. Move Lebo was selected during a competitive funding process to be one of their 2024 funding recipients. Together, we look forward to working with the Mt. Lebanon Lions Club to continue to bring meaningful change and improvements to our community.
