Honestly they just need to move this stop back to Murray/Forward. It got moved due to construction but it’s not that intense anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️

The entirety of Western Pennsylvania has been undermined. Telling people to reconsider living here because of mines is like asking people to reconsider their relationship with water and oxygen.

Going through robinson in no way would reach less people. I know dozens that would rather park in robinson and ride train than ever have to use 376 again.

So then kids without a GED end up as tomorrows absent parents. I think you're looking for a simple solution to a systemic issue.

Local means you're going to pay. I buy all my suits at Macy's: They have a 50%+ off sale at least monthly.

What action though? The problem here is not one that can be fixed simply.

I took the bus way to pitt for a long while and it was great. It took a while to finally finish the construction but it's back open and I paid less than 100k for a decent house in this area.

So his solution is just to move them elsewhere? This is a systematic issue caused by generational poverty, it's not like kids are just born bad. Keeping poor people and rich people separate only helps to make the issue worse.

You know…Representative Dan Frankel has his office in the very building both the karate studio where the owner was accosted/window broken and where the Starbucks is in whose bathroom the underage girl was gang raped/in front of which where all the mayhem takes place.

I wonder what he thinks about all this?

Since he hasn’t weighed in, perhaps we should find out?

Maybe he can impress upon someone to take action.

My husband and I have lived near the Monastery in the slopes since 2006 and before that we lived on 18th near Crossman. We love it. It’s quiet and safe and an easy bus ride into Oakland and downtown. It’s interesting that people wouldn’t think of the slopes as safe but I can say as a woman I walk everywhere and haven’t had anything crazy happen.

Also many of the homes in the slopes have amazing views of the city as well. Once you have a view you won’t want to live anywhere else in the city.

yeah okay, sure, FBI, GET 'EM! lol /s of course

Yes, but the issue is ridership that would unlock federal funding for the project. There is no hard and fast rule, but to be eligible for federal funds, there would need to be an absolute minimum of ~30-40,000 daily riders for a light rail expansion of this length to even be considered (and really a ridership of 50-75,000 to be seriously considered) against other projects.

Those numbers seem a little off to me. San Diego received funding for a 11 mile extension with 20,000 riders for a cost of $2 billion or $100,000 per rider

She did test positive!

That's a pretty rare Kaiser-Jeep M275 ambulance. It's been there for at least a couple of years according to street view.

There are numerous videos on the internet of deer eating birds, but I don’t think there are any of chickens.

The re-done blue line was designed and built to allow for hitting their top speed, but a variety of crossing and signaling issues have kept that from coming to fruition. The red line, downtown, and north shore certainly not going to get anywhere near that for sure.

As with all infrastructure, getting the planning right is only half the battle, execution can just as easily make or break a project.

Worth a try !! Thanks!!

I think the cheapest would be to convert the West Busway to rail and have it just go straight out 376.

But the best for serving more communities would be going up the Ohio River and cutting over at Sewickley.

Also, you may try planting lavender with your flowers. We’ve done that for a couple years and the deer can’t stand the stuff.

We have the same issues here with deer and rabbits. They look really cute from a distance but can be destructive as all get out. I’ve found that Liquid Fence, liberally applied, can be a deterrent. Good luck this Spring!

i definitely wouldn’t call the slopes unsafe. a lot of the houses for sale over there are going to be full rehabs, though.
