@carmanavenue @univarsity Hey Michael and John. You both were right. Just back from being out of town, and see my mix-up. Didn’t realize we had two pedestrian bridges across Bigelow (until recently). Thanks for putting me in the know.

The head of Syria's antiquities ministry says the stunning mosaic includes scenes from the Trojan War and the mythical battle with the Amazons. https://t.co/xGkqH3YR7G

@carmanavenue @univarsity Weird. I’ll have to do some investigation and see if maybe it was a partial demo of just the walkway itself or something.

[John Rhoades @UrNeighborJohn]

@carmanavenue @univarsity Wondering if we’re all talking about the same bridge. This one, referred to as the Finland Pedestrian bridge in the Mayor’s press release here, is the one that has been torn down.

[City of Pittsburgh @Pittsburgh]

Bigelow Blvd is open in both directions following the completion of the emergency demolition of the Finland Pedestrian bridge.

At this point in time the City does not have a firm timeline for if or when a new pedestrian bridge could be completed.

@Pittsburgh @PghDOMI @gainey_ed @MayorEdGainey @TheNextPGH Good news that Bigelow is back open. Any suggestions for how peds can cross now? (Not only is there not a crosswalk, there is a Jersey barrier.)

@ohip13 @chrisbriem We clearly need to make him king. He’s already got the crown.

@arbybeast If his on-air persona weren’t enough, he manages our community gardens! (He also has an incredible partner.)

[John Rhoades @UrNeighborJohn]

@sbrix @Pittsburgh @TheNextPGH Second that! Lot of Polish Hill residents would be grateful to know. @PHCApgh Imagine our neighbors in Bloomfield, Hill District, and Oakland too, so we can stay connected! @BloomfieldPGH @myhilldistrict @HillConsensus @OaklandPlanning

@chrisbriem Looks like biggest opportunities to move up the list are improving "Openness" and "Aftercare" (Pgh scores lowest on those among top 20)

[John Rhoades @UrNeighborJohn]

Thanks to all the kid advocates, volunteers, & elected leaders who just built a beautiful new playground in Polish Hill! Come visit West Penn Park! @KABOOM @PAMunicipalLeag @DCNRnews @Highmark⁦ @AHNtoday @DuquesneLight @Pittsburgh @MayorEdGainey @DebGrosspgh @RepKinkead @PHCApgh

Grateful to you @citybridgesclt for rebuilding the heart of our neighborhood with permanently #AffordableHousing!

[City of Bridges Community Land Trust @citybridgesclt]

Move-in Spring 2023: The first 4 of 8 #AffordableHousing units are coming soon to Brereton St. + Dobson St. in #PolishHill, known locally as the 'Fire Site,' where many of the previous structures were destroyed by arson in 2007. https://t.co/nn3Dv2OFUC

@chrisbriem Oh, man. Of course, it looks like our ranking was pretty much the same before the pandemic, but at least then we weren’t really in negative territory.

[John Rhoades @UrNeighborJohn]

@chrisbriem Sorry if I’m missing something, does this show that Pgh has had the biggest, or 2nd biggest, decrease (as %) in labor force and employment of largest 40 MSAs, for essentially the past year?
