An Act amending Title 74 (Transportation) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in scenic highways, providing for designation of Allegheny River Boulevard as scenic byway.
HB 1967 proposes adding Allegheny River Boulevard to Pennsylvania's official scenic byways system under transportation law. This designation would officially recognize the corridor for its natural and cultural scenery, primarily affecting communities along the route and tourism-related businesses. The bill's key mechanism is a simple update to state transportation statutes to include this specific roadway in the existing scenic byway program, without creating new funding or regulatory requirements. The designation aims to promote tourism and preservation efforts for the area.
