Trip #251 Oakley Way to Stromberg Street, Southside Slopes, Pittsburgh took place on January 26, 2019, and was published on February 20, 2019.
We all travel in different directions, but we’re all going somewhere. To the left? To the right? Walking on the stairs? Driving (or biking or busing) on the street? There are many ways to get where you want to go, and chances are, if you hang around long enough, you’ll end up trying all of them!
Field Notes: This is a wooden flight that is on a corner with a concrete one. This part of Stromberg goes to a dead end.
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!!
