Hope is the anchor that steadies us in the storm. Hope is the light of stars guiding us through unfamiliar terrain. Hope is the banner proudly waving for all to see. With hope, we plant the seeds that will create a new day. Hope says that in the future, it can happen.
Field Notes: Sidewalk stairs that will soon be overgrown. Right now, they remind me of shaggy hair in need of a good cut!
Want to visit these stairs? You can locate them on the Pittsburgh City Steps Plan website!
See the Risograph print of this photo and story in the Mis.Steps Shop.
Be a good neighbor! Have you visited these stairs and found them in poor condition or that illegal dumping (large items like tires, old furniture, and construction debris) and trash were abundant in the area? There are two things you can do to take action and make our city steps cleaner and safer for everyone! First, grab a photo if you can, and submit a report to Pittsburgh 311. All problems, both broken stairs, and railings, as well as trash and dumping, should be reported to the city. You can easily do this online or by calling. If the location has an abundance of illegal dumping and trash, also contact Allegheny Cleanways, letting them know the location and the nature of the garbage. Thank you!!
