This!!! Soooo many people driving in the passing lane and then giving you a dirty look when you’re passing them after flashing your lights asking them to move over.

I am not all all familiar with this particular cinder block issue. Candidly I’ve never seen it. My family moved here in 1839.

I doubt it would be improved quickly. Our transit system of independent providers supposedly worked really well with 32 independent providers before they would put out of business by the creation of PAT. They served the individual communities and provided much better service. PAT or whatever the new branding is has always been a political nightmare run by ineptitude, nepotism and lazy short sightedness

Because of the topography, and in the past the snowfall and lack of city plowing, the Pittsburgh chair, and the cinderblocks, have been part of the culture since the 1930’s-40’s. I remember my grandmother talking about it when she was growing up and she was born in 1923. My point is that the cinderblock and the parking issues have been around for decades. It’s only now, with gentrification that their may be money in the coffers to fix the sidewalks, or at least have inspectors cite property owners to fix their sidewalks and maintain them, but we’re not there yet. It’s taken decades to get the city to where it’s at now and it’s on a good path with regard to accessibility. We’re not there yet. But in the end I think you’re going to be fighting an uphill battle to remove the “reserved parking” for those who shovel their own spot.

Welcome to Pittsburgh. Have you seen a Pittsburgh chair yet? 🙄
