Advocate for sidewalks and stairs with accessibility features, maybe a pedestrian bridge or two even if they’re inconvenient

I could keep going on about the walksheds. see the horrors of the 12-McKnight, Bell Station on the West Busway, and anywhere past Washington Junction on the Silver Line

and with the extra funds, buy more buses to use on the 51 and add some bus only lanes on Brownsville Road

Obviously the city isn’t going to build a bridge across Saw Mill Run so PRT should probably consider running the Blue or Silver as an express past these stations and take them off the books until the surrounding areas are dense enough to support it

the next two stops, Denise and Bon Air, face similar problems because they are on the side of a hill. both stops see fewer than twenty people a day. there aren’t elevators or escalators, and there are definitely lots of stairs to get from the station to the populated areas

since the pedestrian access over the rails isn’t there (if it is, it’s horribly overgrown), you have to walk half a mile out of the away along a notorious stroad to access the station

South Bank on the Blue and Silver Line sees about 10-15 people a day, on a “rapid transit line.” The equivalent South Busway stop sees less than that

I know PRT knows this (see the TOD plan at south hills junction) but they really need to expand their walksheds

Yeah, people are assuming any camera is a flock. Squirrel Hill has the purple loading zone cameras up and down Murray, and I’d imagine Penn Ave downtown might be bike lane enforcement

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark
A Danish candy from the brand Tabby. It’s called “dog father chocolates” and it’s the strawberry cream flavor. A weird photo of a hot dog with mustard graces the box, which makes me concerned for the state of the candy.A Danish candy from the brand Tabby.

It is a sad situation for the venue, but it’s the cost of doing diy. Now, saying “But I’m not surprised because that’s the nature of America, to try and sue someone for something” in response to a pretty serious injury is… a choice
