Looks like some jag ran over the milk crate.

Spray paint a penis next to it. Seems to expedite the repair process in other cities.

Did you tell wilkinsburg? They probably need to investigate and then call out wpj water.

I lived near there in the past and wilkinsburg for all of its faults had quick response to these situations.

In-line with catch basin and manhole…could be stormwater

Good point. It's water somewhere causing it.

It's no big deal right? Throw a milk crate on it. Whats the worst that could happen: https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/pittsburgh-sinkhole-wilkinsburg-biddle-avenue-vehicle-hole/

What’s the worst? A $300 fine and imprisonment up to 90 days.

Huh? I was thinking the worst would be a car falls in, but sure that would be bad too.

We should fill our sinkholes with a functioning subway system

That’s the penalty for an illegal use of a milk crate

Lol, went right over my head. I thought it might be littering but 90 days for littering sounds rough.

I noticed a couple months ago that the city went around and labeled a bunch of sink holes 'hole' and then about a month later they put a layer of asphalt over it to 'fix it'

90 days for misusing a milk crate seems reasonable though.

Completely. Those should be holding a collection of highlights magazines from 80s down in the basement.

looks like it's WPJWA's pipe again.

Or even better, a layer of asphalt AND a metal plate.

Yeah they've been notified.

I just took a screenshot of this from a FB group. I guess the woman who's car got eaten tossed the milk crate over it in hopes the hungry hole would be avoided by others.

Wilkinsburg was notified by a few folks at this point.

I've got a metal plate right in front of the only fucking ramp on my sidewalk, and now i can't get my wheelchair on or off of it without some serious maneuvering. honestly, the hole was less obtrusive
