Trip #353 East Ohio Street to Troy Hill Road, Troy Hill, Pittsburgh took place on September 28, 2019, and was published on October 21, 2019.
A new beginning is before us. It is time to acknowledge our present flaws, make amends for past transgressions, and move forward with creating a better tomorrow. Let’s raise ourselves high above petty judgments and gossip-fueled dramas and be the best authentic selves we can be. Living our truth sets us apart and allows us to shine, individually and collectively.
Field Notes: This is a big, beautiful stairway that hangs right over Route 28 (formerly East Ohio Street). The roar of traffic down below is never-ending, and the stairs are numerous enough to be a good challenge, but the view from the top is worth it!
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!!
