Jam jars needed
by Rita McKee 13 Nov '20

13 Nov '20

If anyone has extra jam jars (the 8 oz size with a mason jar lid) that they do not need, I would be happy to deliver them to one of our favorite farmer’s market farmers to use for making jam. They are having a great deal of difficulty finding jars this year. Thanks!Rita Nordquist Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone

Thanksgiving Food Drive for Seniors - Goal Reached!!!
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 13 Nov '20

13 Nov '20

Once again the neighborhood has shown how wonderful it is! Three days ago we announced that we were collecting food and financial donations to put toward 30 bags of Thanksgiving trimmings for the folks served by Vintage Senior Center. Since then people have dropped off 16 bags of food and contributed more than enough funds for us to purchase what's needed for the remaining bags. We will still accept contributions through next Thursday and any additional food or funds will be donated to Vintage; food and gift cards can be left at 1315 N. Sheridan Ave and online contributions can be made at HPPCPgh.org (the shopping list is still posted there, too). A special shout out to the family that included two delightful children's Thanksgiving drawings in their bag! If other kids would like to contribute pictures, please bring them by - - I think that they would be a nice addition to the bags and surely brighten anyone's day! Also, as a heads up, we are working with some other community organizations to provide more opportunities for giving and for serving in December - so stay posted! Thank you again for your generosity. In the words of Winston Churchill, *We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.* With gratitude & appreciation -- Stephanie Walsh HPCC President -- *Highland Park Community Council* Visit our website by clicking here. <https://hpccpgh.org/>

Re: N. Euclid Neighborway traffic circle update
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

Here's the full background of the Neighborway to the best of my understanding: People were running stop signs and causing T-bone collisions at some intersections along N. Euclid. DOMI was looking for ways to reduce accidents at those intersections. They were also looking for ways to safely connect neighborhoods for pedestrians and cyclists. They identified N. Euclid as a good option for a neighborway because the circles will reduce accidents at the problem intersections, and the *series *of traffic circles makes the entire corridor from Highland Park to East Liberty a safer route for pedestrians and cyclists. During the pilot they realized that some people weren't slowing sufficiently at the circles so the stop signs were installed as a way to reinforce the need to slow down. The intention is to eventually replace the stop signs with yield signs again. Other changes from the original plans resulting from the pilot include the elimination of the circle at Stanton; changes in signage; restrictions on the size of plantings that will be allowed; and changes in circle diameter. I hope that helps! Again I'll point out that a great way to keep up with this and other issues is to attend HPCC Zoom Community Meetings and visit our website where we post lots of info and you can sign up for email updates.

Hello, My daughter has outgrown her JoJo Siwa stage and we are left with a lot of clothing and accessories. Let me know if you are interested in any or all of it. Many of the clothing items have never been worn or worn only a few times and most of them are size 10/12. We actually have way more accessories and toys than what’s pictured. I’d be glad to share what we have if you are interested. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone
