Well when they're negotiating plea deals left and right, and/or just cutting people loose, I guess they're saving costs on time that would've been spent in court. Then, you have to spend the money or have your budget cut next year.
Only random speculation, and slightly sarcastic

There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.

I think there's one really obvious significant security difference between the stadiums and the park: the park had a shooting inside it a few months ago.

Iron Born is glorified Little Caesars $5 Lunch Combo box for 5 times the price.
I've never understood the allure whatsoever. Absolutely mediocre at best.

Zappala has managed to accumulate a seemingly unusual amount of power for a District Attorney.
The DAs office has been funding security cameras all around the county for years. I don't even understand how that is even a thing that a DA has a budget for.

It wouldn’t be Pittsburgh without such occurrences. Waking up to work crews is the norm. Once had PWSA run into my car with a bulldozer after I asked multiple times if it needed to be moved. They also crushed my sewer line and fixed it with a metal cap.
Sent your standards at rock bottom and you’ll always feel lucky. You could rephrase this problem as thank god they notified us at all, even if late.

Downvoted for not adding anything to the conversation, probably.

There was a period of time where the worst construction practices converged at the same time. Like damn, did that building have Federal Pacific electric panels, too?

Are people dropping off 4 year olds at Kennywood? The daycare statement is confusing because if they're old enough to be dropped off, they're too old for daycare.

Agreed OP is justified in his complaint. You can't put up cones one day that says you haven't been allowed to park here the past 4 days. It is written perfectly clearly and for some reason people are just not comprehending it.

Because they started using the new style detectors that don’t require bag checks. Disney and other parks also use them these days. Even the Pirates just announced they’re switching to them and don’t require bag checks anymore. Don’t see the DA threatening to shut down the Pirates opener.

Didn't they recently change ownership (I think I saw a comment to that effect with the new Bridgeville location)?
But agree - if someone wants Ribs in the area, I tell them to drive to DeeJay's in Weirton. There was a former Penguins assistant coach that went to another team and every time he comes to town he takes the team all the way out there.

It sounds pedantic but that is a way of describing time. "Zero" is the day of the event, days leading up to it are negative, days after positive.
Idk what system Pittsburgh is on but they love to do this post-dated bullshit, don't they?

They did upgrade the metal detector, which was supposed to stream line the process and be safer. I can not confirm if it is in fact safer.

It's tough to parse from the title, but OP is complaining that they gave a negative 4 day notice. The cones went up today with a date from four days ago.
It's not really appropriate, but it's generally how they've been operating.

Just based on the article, it took two months to launch a criminal investigation, conclude a security review, and draw up security recommendations (as the park is actively being used!), then three months for Kennywood to review and implement them in the off-season. Finally, a week to review Kennywood's changes and conclude they are insufficient. What do you think is a reasonable timeline for everything to happen?
