PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey is shutting down the Mon-Oakland Connector shuttle.

The mayor's office said the revised connector project between Oakland and Hazelwood will now prioritize public transit improvements. Those will be on the Boulevard-Bates-Second Avenue Corridor.

The revised plan will still include flood mitigation infrastructure and a new recreational trail that would connect to Schenley Park's trails.

The mayor said the decision to end the shuttle program came after consulting with community leaders and transit advocates.
