The House History Project: We Need Your Help!
One Clean Northside
Allegheny CleanWays is working in the Northside! ACW is looking for volunteers to clean up illegal dumping, and is ready to partner with communities on existing and new litter cleanup efforts. ACW also has recycling bins to distribute and is developing an anti-litter campaign. If you’re interested in any of these programs, please email Samantha Weaver at samantha.weaver@alleghenycleanways.org.
Port Authority Public Comment Period
Port Authority of Allegheny County is considering eliminating its multi-zone system and switching to a single-zone, $2.50 flat fare, pay-on-enter system that would give riders a financial incentive to use their ConnectCard and make getting from A to B a better overall experience and value.
A second public hearing will be held on Tuesday, March 8, 2016 from 3:00pm – 7:00pm in Alumni Hall, Connolly Ballroom, 4227 Fifth Avenue, Oakland. Those wishing to speak should pre-register by calling (412) 566-5187 (or (412) 231-7007 for TTY) weekdays from 9:00am – 3:30pm.

Farewell and Best Wishes to Lisa!
For the last 17 years, neighbors on the Allegheny West route have received friendly, prompt delivery from our mail-carrier, Lisa. Unfortunately for us, Lisa has decided that it’s time to move on. Her last day was February 19. We’ll all certainly miss her conscientious service, cheerful conversation, and pleasant smile! Thank you and best wishes, Lisa!
