Are Sidewalks A Safe Space Or A Battle Ground?
New investments in local transportation have brought more options to help residents commute — but who are all these bikes and rideshares and e-scooters for?
Newsletter editor Francesca Dabecco is with disability advocate and leader of Access Mob Pittsburgh, Alisa Grishman, to talk about what it’s like to be a wheelchair user in Pittsburgh and what our neighbors — with or without disabilities — can do to help to create a safer, more accessible city.
And tomorrow is the last day to drop off donations for Repair the World Pittsburgh’s Purim celebration. They’re collecting household supplies for a bunch of great organizations around town. More info here: https://twitter.com/pitt_repair/status/1498735298825621505
