Fwd: Department of Public Works to Resume Street Sweeping with Parking Enforcement
by Highland Park Community Council 21 Mar '22

21 Mar '22

*Published:* 03.21.2022 *Contact:* Maria Montano Press Secretary Mayor's Office 412-500-6669 press(a)pittsburghpa.gov Department of Public Works to Resume Street Sweeping with Parking Enforcement FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE *Department of Public Works to Resume Street Sweeping with Parking Enforcement* *PITTSBURGH* *–* Beginning April 1, street sweeping with parking enforcement will resume in the City of Pittsburgh. For the past two years, due to the pandemic and a large number of individuals working from home, enforcement has not been imposed and parked vehicles were not ticketed. After a two-year hiatus, enforcement will recommence. The City of Pittsburgh’s Department of Public Works will coordinate with the Pittsburgh Parking Authority (PPA) for the enforcement component of the street sweeping campaign. “The city was happy to make street sweeping parking enforcement accommodations for residents during the early part of the pandemic, when people were mostly at home,” Acting Director of the Department of Public Works Chris Hornstein explains. “But as a result of increased parked vehicles, crews were less able to effectively clean the streets. Consequently, we saw a rise in litter in streets as well as debris and waste entering our storm water system.” The resumed enforcement will allow crews to perform a more thorough cleaning. “Not only does this have positive impacts for our storm water system, but it also leaves Pittsburgh streets cleaner for residents,” Acting Director Chris Hornstein added. Street sweepers operate every day of the week, with neighborhoods focused on Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, sweepers are typically assigned to the main corridors and business districts. Posted signs in each neighborhood list which days street cleaning is performed. The street sweeping season runs from April 1 - November 30. All questions regarding enforcement for street sweeping should be directed to the PPA. ### ------------------------------ .

ISO - TERRACOTTA FLOOR TILES
by Sofia Sunseri 21 Mar '22

21 Mar '22

Good Day, Does anyone know where I can find reclaimed terracotta tiles? Is anyone possibly taking tile out that you want to get rid of? Or is there a company locally that makes these? There used to be a company in Ohio that created tiles from Ohio clay but it burned down. Thank you in advance!

Need help
by Diane Averill 20 Mar '22

20 Mar '22

Hello, Neighbors. This week, Highland Park will have a new resident, Sayed, a 28-year-old former soldier in the Afghan army. Sayed has been under the wing of HP resident Elisabeth Larman, who has worked to move Sayed from a dangerous apartment building in McKees Rocks into safe quarters here in our own neighborhood. Sayed has secured employment at All Foreign Auto Parts but he will need to get his own tools to succeed in his new job. The move to HP and the need for tools present a financial challenge for Sayed, who has already been through so much. You can see more of his story, and help him settle in and move forward debt-free, if you will visit our GoFundMe at https://gofund.me/2f67c62d <https://gofund.me/2f67c62d> and make a contribution. Thank you in advance for your generosity. Whatever you can give will be most appreciated! Diane
