Reggae at Riverview returns for 5th year

When one thinks of landmarks, they likely think of structures that have been around for a long time, burning themselves into the memory of the community they inhabit and serving as an indelible part of that neighborhood for decades.

OBSERVATORY HILL — As part of ongoing efforts to reduce the deer population in Pittsburgh’s parks, a targeted harvesting program was piloted in Riverview and Frick parks to further bring down the herd numbers of the animals.

Hello everyone, While we begin to enjoy warmer weather and the sounds of spring, that also tends to bring along a different, perhaps more irritating sound: one of construction. At the end of March, construction season in the Northside officially began with the start of the long awaited North Avenue Signals & Safety project. I am excited to see the upgrades to the traffic signals and pedestrian crosswalks along North Avenue from Arch Street to Middle Street. While this will be a temporary headache, with detours and delays, the end result will be worth it. To follow along, check out the project’s Engage page here: engage. pit tsburghpa.gov/nor th-avenue-signals- and-safety-project.
