What Pittsburgh ordinance bans it?
They're just covering their butts in case one of the thousands of townships in this state makes a rule that they can't. Pittsburgh doesn't have one.

About half of collisions in Allegheny County are red-light rear-ends.
Obviously be aware of the whole situation, but generally you don't want to be last in the line.

Penndot pub380 calls out that bikes can.
(EDIT: And that vehicle code explicitly calls out motorcycles, which bicycles are not)
Chapter nine has a whole section on it.
>GETTING THROUGH
TRAFFIC JAMS
Traffic jams do not have to stop
you—that is one of the biggest ad -
van tages of bicycling in the city.
However, in the tight quarters of a
tie-up, take extra care. Stopped cars
in a traffic jam present the same
hazards as parked cars: blindspots,
doors and unpredictable starts and
turns.
If there is an open passing lane,
use it rather than thread between
cars. If the street is completely
plugged, pick your way forward
slowly and with your hands on the
brake levers. Remember, any car
door could open!
If you are in a traffic jam, you
can be sure that the cars will not
move, since they have nowhere to
go. However, if there is an open
driveway or parking space into
which a car could turn, you have to
assume that it will. Look to see
whether the car's front wheels are
turned. Move away from the side of
the car as you pass, and try to get
the driver's attention as you
approach the front of the car.
When cars are stopped, but not
completely bumper to bumper, be
very wary of cars from other lanes
cutting across in the gaps. Stop and
look before you move out into a gap.
Be especially careful if the vehicle
you are passing, like many vans,
does not have a hood you can see
over.

Between "forcing to fail" and "ignoring everything", there's also holding personably criminally liable the admin that made this happen and splitting into smaller independent entities.
Large corporations don't have to win.

Approx 30 seconds. I move them all the time after people throw them onto the sidewalk out of street parking.

Reply to Tables turn on Allegheny County assessments, as new math favors owners over tax collectors, schools by RadioChris1
The county is going to get it's money. The outstanding question on assessments is just who's going to pay it.
This isn't a government vs homeowners situation, it's long-term vs recent homeowners.

We already have a super efficient way to send freight along dedicated corridors. Trains.

If you're driving, go to a different target. This one is much smaller than the normal ones anyway.
It's a shop for people who are already downtown, not a destination itself.

Reddit ignores newlines.
Two spaces to end a line, two enters to end a paragraph. The editor isn't as friendly as a what-you-see editor.

Nana's is closed on the weekend (and a bit of a hike from the arena if you're not doing anything else on the Northside)

Slyfox had a taproom downtown.
Just across the river north you've got VooDoo's taproom, a Southern Tier satellite, 412 brewing, 4 points brewing, Allegheny City Brewing (my fav).
Edit: federal galley is fun too if your group is in the mood for different food.

Federal Street in Central Northside. Unfortunately not open weekends, but 10/10 dogs.
