BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR

Sidewalk parking damages sidewalks, which weren't made to handle the weight of a vehicle, and often property owners pay the price.

Note: they almost dumped mulch on me when I walked past the truck again on my way home.

Not cool. @PNCBank contractor parked fully blocking sidewalk on the Second Avenue side of Firstside Park. @Pittsburgh @PGHParking @PghPolice

[breen ...is only on X bc you are. @breenplaces]

STILL THERE. Could we show some respect for the many people who walk this area every day? @Pittsburgh @PghDOMI @PGHDPW @RDLavelle

[breen ...is only on X bc you are. @breenplaces]

Still there.

[breen ...is only on X bc you are. @breenplaces]

Still there.

NOPE. "State DOTs from Utah to New York have likewise claimed that adding lanes to congested highways will lower emissions because fewer cars will be stuck in traffic." #CleanRides

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

US transportation agencies keep claiming that expanding highways will reduce climate change.

That's absurd.

In @voxdotcom I explained why. 🧵

This is what respect for people who walk looks like.

[breen ...is only on X bc you are. @breenplaces]

Yay. Could those sidewalks have been wider?

[Pittsburgh Mobility & Infrastructure @PghDOMI]

Today, we opened a newly refinished Chestnut Street in Pittsburgh’s Northside. This historic street which connects several Northside neighborhoods to Downtown and the Strip District has been restored in brick to resemble its original design.

[King County Metro 🚏 @KingCountyMetro]

Let's settle this. What do YOU call the articulated bus? Personally, I like slinky bus.

[breen ...is only on X bc you are. @breenplaces]

City halls can be fun!

[breen ...is only on X bc you are. @breenplaces]

@DuquesneLight Your trucks are blocking the sidewalk again.

[breen ...is only on X bc you are. @breenplaces]

Still there.

[breen ...is only on X bc you are. @breenplaces]

Accessibility? Meh. Why bother?

This condition has been in place for at least two weeks. Second Avenue at Tenth Street Bridge. @BikePGH @Pittsburgh #TalkingWalking #PghWalks

[breen ...is only on X bc you are. @breenplaces]

A reminder you can only read walking across the Tenth Street Bridge. #PghWalks

[breen ...is only on X bc you are. @breenplaces]

The joys of walking. #TalkingWalking #PghWalks

[breen ...is only on X bc you are. @breenplaces]

@CarolynRistau Technically, there is no overlap between Mt. Washington and Duquesne Heights neighborhoods. If it's meant to address where what's commonly referred to as MW (i.e. 15211) overlaps with DH, this isn't there (Bailey Avenue). V confusing.

[breen ...is only on X bc you are. @breenplaces]

Washington Heights??

[breen ...is only on X bc you are. @breenplaces]

Holes in steps on Lauer Way. 😬

[breen ...is only on X bc you are. @breenplaces]

Steps cleared of knotweed for summer. Thanks, @PGHDPW!

[breen ...is only on X bc you are. @breenplaces]

Why? But, also, why not?
