🏡 Yesterday in Troy Hill sparked nuanced conversations about infrastructure challenges and opportunities.  It's is a historic neighborhood with narrow sidewalks and narrow streets, AND people need safer walking.... so, how do we get there?  pittsburghwalks.org/sidewalks
A small child in a blue shirt walks in the middle of the street due to a pile of bricks blocking a sidewalk that also abruptly ends as the road makes a turn near some residential houses.
