Belasco station is a station on the Pittsburgh Light Rail network operated by Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT), located in the Beechview neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The station serves a densely populated residential area where bus service is limited due to the area’s hilly terrain. The station consists of two side platforms located on Broadway Avenue near Belasco Avenue.
Between 2020 and 2025, PRT studied upgrading the station to provide accessible high-level platforms; however, it was determined that constructing such facilities within the existing roadway would be incompatible with safe traffic operations. Although the station will remain inaccessible, PRT and the City of Pittsburgh plan improvements in 2026, including the replacement of narrow traffic-island platforms with wider curb extensions (bulb-outs) and the addition of shelters to improve safety and passenger comfort.[3]
