Bed Frame & Foam Mattress On Curb
by Brian Larman 10 Apr '22

10 Apr '22

There is a bed frame, associated bolts, slats, & foam mattress on the curb at 5900 Hampton street for disposal tomorrow. There is one small frame part missing but should not be a problem to jury rig something to replace it. It is almost new - the owner is too big and doesn't fit very well in it. First come first served - help yourself.

by Highland Park Garden Club Pgh 10 Apr '22

10 Apr '22

Dear neighbors, Just a friendly reminder about the upcoming Highland Park Garden Club program. All are welcome to attend; programs are free for members (join or renew here), and available to non-members for a donation through Eventbrite (donate here). SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 2022, 10 am Soil Success in our Gardens and Containers Presenter: Miriam Cheng; Wild Child Native Gardens Vibrant plants and gardens start with healthy soil. This presentation will include a little science, but will mostly cover practical aspects of the why and how of soils. The components of soil; testing, amending, and the reasons; soil chemical composition, and how to change soil pH - these are all important for nutrient and micronutrient availability in gardens and containers. The presentation will also cover container gardening tips on how to keep containers (like the club-maintained Bryant Street planters) healthy and happy throughout the season, including moisture retention, amendments, incorporating nativar selections that yield multi-season interest along with the usual annuals. Miriam is an engaging and informative speaker who inspired those in attendance with her February and March presentations. Read more about Miriam' background on the club website. Upcoming Programs: APRIL 16 Soil Success in our Gardens and Containers - Zoom. Miriam Cheng, Wild Child Native Gardens MAY 21 Field Trip to the Rabkin Japanese Tea Garden in Tarentum. Dr. Michael Rabkin JUNE 18 Flower growing and arranging session at BurghBlooms, Larimer Lahia Annis-Christy, owner, Burgh Blooms -- Highland Park Garden Club, Pittsburgh PA

Tell the city about traffic and/or wildlife concerns
by Highland Park Community Council 09 Apr '22

09 Apr '22

The city is currently seeking public input on three projects of interest to the neighborhood. Submit your feedback today! *Concerned about traffic and pedestrian & bike safety in the neighborhood? *Please use this Google form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSco26MR9MPaK-Y8vU8JN6I8mcQqkPn5ngi…> to submit a request that a street be considered for traffic calming as part of the city's Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program <https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/neighborhood-traffic-calming>. Part of how these projects will be prioritized is public input and the squeaky wheel gets the grease, so fill out this Google form today! <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSco26MR9MPaK-Y8vU8JN6I8mcQqkPn5ngi…> To submit more than one street for consideration, fill out the form for a single street and after you hit "submit", you will be asked if you'd like to submit another street for consideration. The form asks for your Council District; Highland Park is in District 7. *East Liberty Traffic Concerns? *According to the city's pedestrian safety action plan, due to recent and projected development, East Liberty is one of the top neighborhoods for current and projected pedestrian and bicycle crashes. Therefore, the City is developing an East Liberty Traffic Safety & Mobility Plan <https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/east-liberty-safety-and-mobility-improvemen…> and identifying potential traffic and mobility issues through data and community engagement. Take this survey <https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/east-liberty-safety-and-mobility-improvemen…> to let the city know your East Liberty-specific transportation concerns and suggestions. Note that Stanton Ave is the border between East Liberty and Highland Park, so Stanton Ave intersections can be included in feedback for this project, too. *Wild about urban wildlife? *What should individuals and the city do - or *not *do - as we share our space with deer, opossums, rats, birds, bunnies, and other critters? The City of Pittsburgh is developing an Urban Wildlife Guidebook for residents regarding the ins and outs of urban wildlife. Visit this website <https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/urban-wildlife-guidebook>to learn more about the city's plans and to take a poll to provide your thoughts and concerns. -- Click here to visit our website <https://hpccpgh.org/>
