14 Mar '22

*Published:* 03.14.2022 *Contact:* Maria Montano Press Secretary Mayor's Office 412-500-6669 press(a)pittsburghpa.gov City of Pittsburgh Opens Resident Applications for City Cuts Lawn Cutting Service *City of Pittsburgh Opens Resident Applications for City Cuts Lawn Cutting Service * *PITTSBURGH *— The City of Pittsburgh’s Department of Public Works (DPW) is now accepting applications for the fourth year of its City Cuts lawn-cutting program. This program is free for those who do not have the financial or social means to assist with lawn care. Individuals must also be a veteran, over the age of 62, or have a disability. While the program was unable to operate in 2021, it is set to return this summer. City Cuts began in 2018 through legislation introduced by Councilwoman Theresa Kail-Smith and to date has assisted more than 2,000 Pittsburgh seniors and those with disabilities with lawn cutting services. “I am grateful to Mayor Gainey and his administration for continuing this worthwhile program that has multiple benefits. In addition to helping senior citizens, veterans, and people with differing abilities, it beautifies the neighborhood, reduces unnecessary calls to 311 (which helps to minimize the backlog of complaints), and it helps local small landscaping businesses succeed,” the councilwoman said. Applications are accepted on a first come, first served basis. This year, the City has the budget and capacity to serve 650 neighbors with twice monthly cuts from May through October. Applicants must own their own home and live within City of Pittsburgh boundaries. There are four ways for residents to apply: - Visit the City Cuts website <https://pittsburghpa.gov/citycuts/> and select ‘Click to Apply Online’ - Visit one of 18 Carnegie Library branches to fill out an application and mail it directly to the city - Visit one of 13 CitiPark's Healthy Active Living Centers to fill out an application and mail it to the city - Call the 311 Response Line at 311 or (412) 255-2621 “We are thrilled to have the program operating again this year and are looking forward to building on the success we’ve had in previous years serving our residents.,” said Department of Public Works Acting Director Chris Hornstein. If you are a contractor and are still interested in applying please go to the City’s procurement website for full details about the application process.

Thinking of going solar? Join the Allegheny County Co-op!
by Kathleen Keating 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

Solar United Neighbors just launched a new co-op for Allegheny County. I signed up and encourage you to do so if you're considering getting solar panels. Signing up for the co-op does not lock you into any commitment, it just indicates you're interested and want to receive information! The non-profit organization essentially puts out a request for proposals to solar providers and helps co-op members negotiate contracts. It takes the guess-work out of finding someone to install panels and the economy-of-scale in the co-op often results in significant cost savings. I know trying to find contractors to do... literally anything has been a nightmare for me and I'm excited to have an established organization guide me through this process. You can sign up here: https://coops.solarunitedneighbors.org/coops/allegheny-county-solar-and-ev-… I am not an expert but have been in communication with the org and can help find answers to any questions you may have! -Kathleen
