City Of Pittsburgh Snow Angels Program 
 
Snow covered sidewalks can be hazardous for everyone. Pittsburgh Snow Angels is a program that helps minimize the hardships of winter by pairing volunteers with elderly or disabled residents to assist with snow removal. 
 
Along with fostering stronger community relationships and relieving some of the stress that comes from a snow storm, Snow Angels makes our sidewalks safer for those who are outside during winter weather – like postal carriers, firefighters, and police officers. 
 
You can sign up online to offer help as a volunteer. The Snow Angels Program will work to pair you with a nearby neighbor. We will be in touch when you have been matched with a neighbor in need. 
 
See the attached flyer or visit the website for more info or to volunteer.

Pitt Letter To Neighborhood About Moving Forward in 2020


Warning: Undefined variable $output in /home2/oakcliff/public_html/wp-content/themes/mw-small-Oakcliffe/functions.php on line 103
Attached is a letter from Vice Chancellor Paul Suppowitz about how Pitt plans to move forward with the students and long-term residents of Oakland. Several paragraphs excerpted below.  See the letter for complete info. 
 

In Service to Community: In addition to our Pitt Pandemic Service Initiative, we’re continuing to find new ways to serve and support the communities we call home. Whether it’s helping to get technology into the hands of those who need it most, offering virtual babysitting classes or getting meals to local families, our faculty, staff and students aren’t letting the pandemic stop them from partnering and engaging with our neighbors. 

 
Help Spread the Message: We’ve created signage for use in our campus buildings and would love it if you’d consider picking one of your favorites and printing it to post in your window to reinforce the message in our surrounding neighborhoods. If you don’t have a printer at home but would like to request a copy, please let us know and we’ll be happy to put one in the mail for you. 

 
Who to Contact: The Community and Governmental Relations team has and will continue to bring the latest updates to our neighbors through virtual neighborhood meetings (such as OPDC Oakland‐wide monthly meetings) and communications such as this letter. We are available at cgrinfo@pitt.edu or 412‐624‐7755. You can also stay current with Pitt’s plans by visiting coronavirus.pitt.edu

   City Seeks Input on New Bike Plan
In support of ongoing efforts to provide a more sustainable transportation system, the City of Pittsburgh’s Department of Mobility and Infrastructure is pleased to announce plans to create a new Pittsburgh Bike Plan. The Plan will develop guidelines and standards for bicycle facilities, as well as identity and propose improvements. Through the implementation of the new Bike Plan, Pittsburghers of all ages and abilities will have a better opportunity to incorporate bike riding into work commutes, recreation activities, daily errand-running, and social events. 
 
Following an initial round of public outreach in 2016, the Department of Mobility of Infrastructure has released a draft bike network map and is looking for comments from residents. The interactive online map is a collaborative tool for collecting comments on specific routes and locations. 
 
To better identify priority locations for walking and biking improvements and discuss goals and strategies for the Plan, two public meetings were held this month, with a final meeting set for 6 p.m. tonight at East Liberty Presbyterian Church, 116 S. Highland Drive. 
 
More information can be found at the Bike Plan’s website, or by contacting Kristin Saunders, Principle Transportation Planner, at kristin.saunders@pittsburghpa.gov.
