Washington Monument scaffolding could mark western terminus of great Allegheny passage

This is kind of cool. 

Calling it a "work of art" during a December visit with other mayors to the White House, [Pittsburgh Mayor Bill] Peduto asked President Obama to donate the scaffolding to Pittsburgh. His idea is to erect it on the North Shore to mark the western terminus of the Great Allegheny Passage, a biking trail that runs to Washington. Local iron workers and a trucking company are lined up to transport and build the scaffolding.

The trail could "begin at the Washington Monument and end at the Washington Monument," Peduto said at the time.

Perhaps the scaffolding could be used to build a shelter/trail head at each end of the trail, as well as along the trail.
