[Highland Park] HP L2045w 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor for sale
by Jonathan King 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

This is a good, 2 year old monitor in perfect working order, as far as I can tell. In addition to many strong features, it quickly swivels into a "legal-size" portrait mode (vs landscape) so that, if you often find yourself wanting to look long-wise at webpages, data, lists, etc., it offers a lot of productivity improvement, too. It's also an anti-glare screen so it's easy on the eyes. Priced to sell at $100. For specs, see http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/en/sm/WF06b/12142134-12142136-12142136-121 42136-12142170-12877606-78038057.html For reviews, see http://www.buzzillions.com/reviews/hp-l2045w-widescreen-lcd-monitor-reviews Jonathan King 412-441-1011 Callowhill & Negley

[Highland Park] Authorities on Port Authority bus system
by Heather Cramer 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

We're in need of some help! Having not had much experience with the Pittsburgh mass transit system, I'm trying to navigate the site to determine the best route to take from Verona to the North Shore (National Aviary, specifically). We may be moving to Verona because we need to expand our living space and a good deal was found, but, being a one-car family, we're exploring our options for alternate means of transportation. I'm a bit confused about the bus schedule and its routes and was wondering if anyone knew more about this or has any tips for navigating it. Thank you! Heather

Re: [Highland Park] car window repair
by CHY7＠pitt.edu 03 Jan '11

Thanks to all those who gave me suggestions about car repair, and who shared their concerns about safety. I got a lot of valuable information. I think I will go to Iezzi's for my car window repair. As for the safety issue, I think I have an idea why they tried to break into my car. I left a gym bag in there. It was the only thing missing. Maybe they thought there was something worth stealing in the bag. In the future I will not leave any bag of any sort in my car. Christine

[Highland Park] Emergency Snow Routes
by Keebler, Emily 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

You may have noticed Emergency Snow Route signs appearing around the City and should have received the Winter Weather Emergency Resource Guide in the mail from the Department of Public Works. In addition, District 7 staff has created a Google Map to make it easier for residents to find the emergency snow routes in our district, which you will find linked below. As stated in the Resource Guide, please keep in mind that the emergency routes will not come into play unless more than 6 inches of snow are forecasted. Before that point, emphasis will be placed on primary routes and small equipment will be assigned to secondary routes, with tertiary to follow. So, in a typical Pittsburgh snowstorm, the new Emergency Snow Routes would not be employed. Based on a memo from the previous Director of Public Works (but this probably has not changed), the routes are defined as: 1. Primary routes are main arteries that provide access to hospitals, schools, major access roads and fire stations. 2. Secondary routes are usually residential streets and thoroughfares. 3. Tertiary routes are those streets and alleyways that have little traffic on a regular basis. A map of the new Emergency Snow Routes can be found here: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=212292515435736083567.000498a3 9ffb19cb9b401&z=13 The Director of Public Works will be addressing Council regarding this plan in the near future and Councilman Dowd will be requesting an individual meeting to address District 7 in particular. If you have any questions that we can help to answer or bring to the Director's attention, please contact the office at 412-255-2140 or district7(a)city.pittsburgh.pa.us.
