Firing Range
by Highland Park Community Council 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Hi Neighbors, I've heard from many people about how frustrated they are with the firing range noise. I promise that we share your frustration. The HPCC has worked over the years to address this issue and continue to do so, although it's been an uphill battle as it has not been a priority of past administrations and/or Dept of Public Safety leadership. There is an unfunded short-term plan to do sound mediation, and a long-term plan (15+ years) to build a new facility and close this one. Below are the remaining days/times for scheduled training. Thursday AUG 25 3:00 PM until 8:00 PM Friday Aug 26 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM *If you have complaints, please call the city - the squeaky wheel gets the grease!* 1. Mayor's Office:(412) 255-2626 2. 3-1-1 (all calls to this number are documented so it's important to make these calls so that the city has a record of the complaints) 3. Councilwoman Gross' Office:412-255-2140 4. City Council Online-Feedback form: https://pittsburghpa.gov/council/d7-feedback If there are shots heard after 8:00 PM, we've been told that people should call 911, as it is unlikely to be officer training. -- Click here to visit our website <https://hpccpgh.org/>

Alert re Euclid Ave. for everyone, especially the visually impaired and those who use mobility devices
by janet jai 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Dear neighbors, Unfortunately the Stop Signs at intersections with traffic circles on Euclid have been converted to Yield Signs, increasing the risk of accidents at these corners. To the best of my knowledge, this was done without any notification to the HP community. This can be especially dangerous for the visually impaired who may not be aware that such a change has been made as they attempt to cross Euclid. Please be extra careful on Euclid and surrounding streets and please alert your visually impaired neighbors and those who use mobility devices. Cars and trucks at these intersections often come very close to the sidewalk to get around the circles, especially with all the construction on Euclid. Even with Stop signs, bicyclists and those on scooters often didn’t stop even when there was other traffic or pedestrians. I know because I live on Euclid and I both drive and love to walk. Even when I am driving, I find it scary with these Yield signs when another car and I both approach a circle around the same time and the Yield signs don’t require either of us to stop. The concrete centers of the traffic circles are wide and the room for cars and trucks to circle around is small so the possibility of an accident feels much more likely with this conversion to Yield signs. Last year, DOMI (the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure) had said it would maintain 4-way Stop signs around these traffic circles because studies showed increased risk to the visually impaired and those using mobility devices. It is very concerning that the Stop Signs were suddenly changed to Yield Signs without any notification. Please be careful on and around Euclid, and alert your neighbors. Thank you. janet jai, MLA vision-and-values.com
