Guidance for Small Cell Facilities in the City of Pittsburgh

Overview
The Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI) is in the final stages of certifying and publishing Guidance for Small Cell Facilities in the City of Pittsburgh, which should be viewed as a complement to the City’s Small Cell Aesthetic Standards. This guidance applies to the public ROW under the stewardship of DOMI. It does not extend to any public lot, park, other public property, or private property.
 
The document provides guidance on the location, design, and construction of new or replacement small cell facilities that provide telecommunication service in the public right-of-way (ROW). The guidance also outlines a process for ensuring consistency in the review of permit applications.
