N. Euclid Neighborway traffic circle update
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

Hello Neighbors, I wanted to respond to a question someone posted about the plants at the traffic circles. They were provided by the Department of Infrastructure and Mobility (DOMI) and maintained by neighborhood volunteers. Several weeks ago when the plants had clearly passed their peak, we asked DOMI to remove them which they did at all but one location. I'm not sure how they missed it, but I let them know about it today and they said they'd send someone to remove the pots ASAP. I also asked for an update on the project itself and was told that construction was supposed to begin any time now, but construction crews are heavily booked and they are waiting to finish the Reynolds St and Bloomfield Friendship Neighborways first. They said they hope that the weather holds out and the traffic circles can be installed in the next few weeks. My contact also said that they'd let me know when they have further updates (which I'll share) and apologized for the delays "as COVID and overall city need has impacted the construction season much more than anyone would like." By the way, a great way to stay up-to-date on what's happening in the neighborhood is to *attend HPCC Zoom Community Meetings! Our next meeting will be Thur, Nov 19 at 7 pm.* We'll be receiving a public safety update from Commander Vinansky of Zone 5 and having a presentation from PWSA on their projects in the neighborhood and park.

yellow keys found
by susan zelicoff 10 Nov '20

10 Nov '20

Two keys and a yellow tag are sitting at the top of Heberton St near the Farm House where it meets Farm House Rd and Connector Rd near Highland Park. One key has a yellow cap on it. They are resting on the low wall that divides the two parallel roads, where I assume someone else placed them. I left them there in case the owner circled back soon to look for them. I saw them Sunday but forgot to post this sooner.
