The Power of One. One Step. One step is a stairway if it’s put in the right place for the right reason. One step makes it a bit easier, safer, to get from one place to another. Sometimes, one step is all that is necessary. Sometimes, one step makes all the difference.
Field Notes: Yes, one step can make a stairway! This one step connecting Holt Street to Codben Street is considered an official stairway by the city!
Want to visit this step? 🙂 You can locate it on the Pittsburgh City Steps Plan website!

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!!
