Reliable bus service outside of the east end would be a good start. Rapid transit to the airport and underserved parts of the county would make commuting easier for everyone, too.

Reply to Do yinz use security cameras? by jgreene1423

We use SimplySafe, had it for a few years and we are pretty happy about it. Yeah unfortunately someone side swiped us in front of our house but the camera didn’t pick up movement all the way on the street, let’s just say we park on a side street now . Good luck

Oh, um. I'm just gonna list dreams, I guess? I'm honestly not sure what's pragmatic / "realistic." Probably none of it, or some of it would have happened by now.

  • A huge, outdoor amphitheatre downtown that has free shows all the time, like the one in Chicago's Millennium Park

  • A riverwalk, too, while I'm stealing from Chicago -- with vibrant business running along at least one of the rivers

  • Buses that run to/through downtown that pass through all of our neighborhoods every 20-30 minutes, at least

  • The train to run through the North Hills, and not just the South.

  • Snow removal as reliable as the surrounding suburban areas have, where they run all night and you're ready with a drivable road in the morning

Pretty much what I was getting at. The highways are already built and important, and we’re not going to just wish them away. But getting pass-through traffic off of surface streets with some minor improvements without building more highways seems like a no brainer.

Yeah it’s like a classic move. Act super strange driving and influence behavior of someone on the road because of your weirdness then pull them over for that. I once got pulled over by a cop sitting in a parking lot at the end of my street when I simply turned around to get on the right side of my street. He pulled me over in front of my own house.
