After a record 700-plus overdoses last year in Allegheny County alone, people throughout the Pittsburgh region, and the state, are striving to turn the corner on the opioid epidemic. As tens of thousands struggle with addiction to ever-more-potent narcotics, we'll bring together the leaders who are marshaling resources, and the problem-solvers who know the city's hardest-hit streets.
On April 19, Governor Wolf and local leaders will be discussing ways to address the opioid epidemic in our region at Heinz Field. Following the forum, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette will host a roundtable that includes local individuals working towards solutions from recovery, treatment, and housing communities.

Pittsburgh Department of Public Works Street Cleaning Begins Today
PITTSBURGH, PA (April 2, 2018) Crews from the Department of Public Works today began their annual street cleaning work, which will continue weekdays through November.
Motorists are reminded to check street cleaning schedules that are affixed to signs along city roadways. Those parked in designated street cleaning zones will be subject to fines.
Enforcement officers from the Pittsburgh Parking Authority will issue warnings the first two weeks of this month and begin issuing tickets to those parked in street cleaning zones on April 16.
Street cleaning is necessary to address debris that collects along curbsides during winter months and gravel that is dislodged by potholes. This year DPW also plans to focus on street cleaning in neighborhood business districts, which will be performed during overnight hours, and on keeping storm catch basins cleared.
