N. Euclid Neighborway Update & Public Meeting on 7/30
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 19 Jul '20

19 Jul '20

Hello Neighbors, On Friday 7/17, DOMI had an informal public meeting at one of the traffic circles. Now that the pilots are in place, they can watch how cars and other vehicles navigate them and also study other implementation issues. We got to watch the Fire Department test their largest, least nimble type of vehicle which was able to navigate the circle without problems so long as cars weren't parked on the corners; this limitation also exists without the circles. DOMI will consider signage, striped "bump-outs" at the corners (painted on the road), and/or enforcement to remind people that they are not allowed to park that close to the corners. We also watched a bus navigate it with no problems. The snow plows will be testing them soon. DOMI also informed us that they have a group who will be out looking at the sites from the perspective of those with disabilities, including a specialist who works with visually impaired children at PPS, someone who designs wheelchairs, and someone who uses a wheelchair. In terms of signage, they are aware that some of the signs are too low and could be a hazard for people who are visually impaired. Those signs will be moved. Additionally, they are researching other signs to clarify right of way and circle navigation. There have been some concerns that people still speed through the circles. Once the pilot is complete, if they become permanent, there will be circles added at additional intersections which should help reduce speeds since they break up drivers' site lines (in other words, the street no longer looks like a long unbroken stretch of asphalt that drivers consciously or unconsciously feel more comfortable speeding on). And the flowers are in -- thank you to all the volunteers who helped and/or agreed to help with planting, transporting, and watering! Finally, DOMI is hosting another public Zoom meeting to get more input at 6pm on Thursday, July 30th. They will review the pilot’s findings and the updated proposal for the neighborway. Feedback is still welcome! Here is the link to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/2038679006276030/ Here is the direct link to register on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_WJZK4ADxRe-8_iVBKYIvjw?fbclid=I… Thanks for all your interest and feedback! The circles are a great way to increase safety on our streets but we want to make sure they are installed in a way that addresses the needs and concerns of the community. Hopefully we are getting there! Stephanie Walsh HPCC President -- *Highland Park Community Council* Visit our website by clicking here. <https://hpccpgh.org/>

Have you lost a black cat?
by Liza Hall 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Is anyone missing a black cat? For a few days we've seen a short-haired black cat in our yard. He or she is wearing a collar, and missing about 1/3 of the tail. This cat seems healthy/uninjured, but slender and hungry -- when we put some food next to the bush it was sheltering under, the cat immediately started wolfing it down without waiting for us to get much farther away.

Trash collection
by David Anglero 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Hi All, I'm trying to find out what's going on with the trash collection. It looks like everyone is in the know except me. The last thing I saw was posted by Allegheny County and the word was that they're having a hard time keeping up and we should just leave our trash out. Unfortunately we're the only house that did so. Is there a link etc of what the status is? Daveanglero(a)gmail.com
