Alley Bike Co-op Looking for Space
by Abe Stucky 07 Jan '17

07 Jan '17

Hello Highland Park, This is Abe Stucky with the Alley Bicycle Co-op <https://www.facebook.com/alleybikecoop>. We wanted to let people know that the co-op is in the process of looking for a new garage space as our current space is cramped and lacks electricity. For those who don't know, we're a community-focused non-for-profit organization that teaches people bicycle maintenance and offers affordable refurbished bikes. If you know of any garages in Highland Park/East Liberty for rent, please let us know! All the best, Abe

Calling our officials worked!
by Joy 06 Jan '17

A small hopeful thing: after neighbors (thank you) tweeted, called 311 and Deb Gross's office, and wrote letters and emails, the city says a Children at Play sign is going up on Heberton going up the hill, between Jackson and Wellesley, which drivers take at terrifying speed. Yay!

PWSA Update on the Highland Park Pump Station Project
by Monica Watt 06 Jan '17

06 Jan '17

An Update from PWSA: January 6, 2017 Dear neighbor: As you may recall, a pump failure at the Highland Pump Station is requiring The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) to utilize a temporary diesel-powered pump. The pump is essential to providing drinking water and pressure to several neighborhoods, including Garfield and Highland Park. A temporary sound barrier was installed on the temporary pump on December 2, 2016, which is designed to temper sound, but not eliminate it. While tests done near the facility showed a significant reduction in noise, it is often hard to determine how sound may carry to over into some areas until we hear feedback. PWSA is hearing now that it is still impacting some residents, and we sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. The barrier that is in place is the only remedy available until the full repairs can be made. PWSA originally expected the temporary pump to be replaced at the end of December; however, we experienced some unanticipated delays due to the complexity of the project, and it is now currently scheduled for completion by the end of January. If we experience any further delays to this project, we will provide a statement of the issue as soon as possible. We appreciate the patience of the residents and the community while we work to fix this very complex and critical issue for our water distribution system. If you have any questions, please contact the PWSA External Affairs Department at 412-255-4754 or communications(a)pgh2o.com. Best regards, Monica Monica Watt President Elias/Savion Production Studios 625 Liberty Avenue | 24th floor Pittsburgh, PA 15222 O: 412.642.7700 | F: 412.642.2277 | C: 412.980.4208 E: monica.watt(a)elias-savion.com<mailto:monica.watt@elias-savion.com> | W: www.elias-savion.com<http://www.elias-savion.com/>
