Along the walk, we saw abandoned vehicles, vacant properties, potholes, illegal dumping, overgrowth, all notated by the department representatives for resolution.   Getting out in the community and seeing these issues first hand is one of the best ways to get immediate action.

It’s with a heavy heart that I share the passing of lifetime Northsider Barbara Burns — a true community leader. From the State House to City Council, and as founder of East Allegheny’s beloved Pumpkinfest, her impact will live on. 🕊️ Obituary: kunsakfh.com/obituaries/barb…
