Recommendations Received for Dealing with a Burrowing Animal
by Rob Schwartz 21 Mar '21

21 Mar '21

Thanks to all for the great recommendations/suggestions I received. I figured I'd share them since others may be dealing with the same problem (or may have to do so in the future). Had a similar problem. Not sure about fixing the pavers, but I bought some chicken wire (Home Depot has it or Lowe's) and kind of rolled and scrunched it so the area was no longer accessible. The city has an animal removal service - call the mayor's hotline, 311. The city will lend you a humane trap. You give them a check for the deposit and when the animal goes in the trap you call them and they come and pick up the trapped animal and will mail you back the check. you won't believe this rob but I poured an environmentally friendly tile cleaner in the holes...Which smelled...And he took off...Yay I have the best guys. Animal Services 412- 996- 9653. Ken Knight and Ken Jr. They have worked at my house for years and years. For all kinds odd creatures. They are the best. they will trap and release. I have had bats, rats, mice and other furry animals. Have heard that for burrowing animals, people bury bottles with the necks exposed so that when there is a breeze, the bottles sound and the vibrations are disturbing and thus, the animal goes elsewhere. That said, I can't vouch for it, but whenever I'm wondering how to go about something, I turn to YouTube and after watching a few videos, usually know how to proceed. You might try that. Good luck! This person traps critters who invade homes. Perhaps he will do so for those who invade yards. Good luck with this challenge! 412 996-9653 AnimalControl_Knight Ken Last time i had a similar issue, it ended up being groundhogs.. had a wild life control company come setup traps to catch and remove them. this website may help https://www.pgc.pa.gov/Wildlife/Pages/NuisanceWildlife.aspx Rob

Hello Neighbors, We invite you to join the 3rd and final virtual *Community Workshop for the Super Playground redesign*, on *Tuesday March 23rd, at 5:30pm. *This will be the FINAL public workshop for input into the new playground design. The City and the project designers will share images of the planned layout and equipment. There will be time allotted for public comment and input as they make some final design decisions. Register Now >> <https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0qduugqD4pHtJt6gGvYIbawZqxOonxzP…> A preview of the design will be shared on the City's Engage website for this project <https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/highland-park-super-playground> in the week prior to the workshop. *Background: The Super Playground is the large wooden playground on Reservoir Drive in Highland Park. The playground was built by the community in 1991 and is now in need of a full replacement- this time built by the City. The new playground will utilize the current playground’s footprint and share the same emphasis on a unique, creative playspace. Starting in summer of 2020, the City and design firm Merritt Chase have been gathering community input through surveys and community workshops.

Port Authority Long Range Planning Survey
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 21 Mar '21

21 Mar '21

The Port Authority of Allegheny County (PAAC) is currently preparing NEXTransit, the long-range planning effort to determine what transit improvements and investments are needed over the next 25 years. It hosted a series of online public meetings in February and March to ask the public to help prioritize preliminary policies, programs and projects that reflect the input received to date. Now you can take their on-line survey. Potential projects are divided into 5 regions and you can weigh in on work in as many regions as you choose. The Central Projects Survey is the one that includes Highland Park. Scroll through descriptions of transit connections and hubs and then rate them. *https://nextransit.network/ <https://nextransit.network/> * -- *Highland Park Community Council* Visit our website by clicking here. <https://hpccpgh.org/>
