FOCUS GROUP KEY FINDINGS
People Genuinely Like Being Downtown
workers and students had good things to say enjoy being close to many different and exciting
things appreciate the convenience and excitement that
working in Downtown offers
29
FOCUS GROUP KEY FINDINGS
Shopping Downtown Needs To Be Unique It is no surprise that most Downtown workers feel that the options available to them for retail
shopping are severely limited. Many express the desire to have conveniently located stores that are similar to those they find near where they live, (e.g. Target, Giant Eagle). However, stores located in Downtown that are otherwise ubiquitous might serve only the convenience item needs of workers. Most like the idea of a centralized shopping district in Downtown.
30
FOCUS GROUP KEY FINDINGS
Addressing Needs of the Broader Downtown Work Force. Downtown Pittsburgh’s workforce is far from homogenous with a wide range of age and socio-
economic groups present each day. The perceptions of what are both positive and negative aspects of working downtown appear to be strongly driven by the income level and occupation of the individual. Those with higher incomes are much more positive about what working Downtown has to offer. The Cultural District and the restaurants, galleries and theaters there is seen as a great example of what Downtown can be. However, the perception exists that the needs and interests of those with less disposable income have not yet been adequately addressed.

FOCUS GROUP KEY FINDINGS
Desire for More Police Presence In most of the sessions, it was mentioned that Downtown has specific areas that present issues of
concern with safety. Market Square, Fifth and Wood and others were cited as areas that many simply avoid. This is especially true at night. Most who do enjoy staying Downtown for evening activities limit themselves to the Cultural District and other areas that they deem safe. Higher visibility of Police presence is something many would like to see.

FOCUS GROUP KEY FINDINGS
Parking is Expensive The high cost of parking in downtown was also an issue expressed by all of the groups. This is
obviously not a simple problem to address, but the perception does exist and represents a potential obstacle for many who would consider spending more time Downtown after work.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
137,000 people work at 5,000 business establishments located across the 5 census tracts (Uptown, Golden Triangle, Strip District, South Shore, North Shore) that collectively define Downtown Pittsburgh.
The Golden Triangle is home to the majority of Downtown’s employees and establishments. This area alone accounts for 80% of Downtown’s employees and 78% of its business establishments.
Positive momentum is taking place in Downtown Pittsburgh. Over the past 10 years the number of Downtown business establishments has grown .08% annually. Over this same time period the number of employees working in Downtown has risen at an annual rate of almost 2.1%.
Services (33%) and Finance (31%) account for almost two-thirds of Downtown’s 2006 workforce. The Finance segment is responsible for more net employee growth since 1996 than any other industry class. Legal Services, part of the broader Services category, is another key growth sector boosting Downtown’s employee count since 1996.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The North and South Shore sections of Downtown appear poised to drive growth in the future. Both areas have added employees and grown impressively (relative to their size) since 1996 and hold vast potential for even more development.
Workers enjoy their daily Downtown experience and most agree there is positive change and prudent redevelopment taking place.
Redevelopment efforts will have a greater chance of success if they addresses the needs of a wide range of socio-economic levels among workforce and students.
