Fantastic idea.
Opening the tunnel to cyclists would create the longest bike lane in a tunnel in the United States, if not the world. It would be a magnet for cyclists and a real sign of Pittsburgh's forward progress on multi-modal transportation.
If I'm not mistaken, there's enough space for a dedicated one-way bike lane + a one-way auto traffic lane, with protection for the bike lane. Possibly the bike traffic could be two way. But let's get a study of the idea going.
