This morning, we unveiled Gus & Yiayia Way at West Ohio St. & Brighton Rd. Honoring 90+ years of the iconic orange ice-ball cart that’s defined Northside summers. Proud to celebrate what makes Pittsburgh one of a kind.
📢Tomorrow, we recognize the lasting legacy of Gus & YiaYia's with an honorary street naming ceremony at the corner of West Ohio Street & Brighton Road starting at 10 am! It's an honor to celebrate the orange cart that has lined West Ohio Street for over 90 years.

Traffic calming construction on Federal St. begins Wednesday, July 2! 👷🚧 A single-lane closure will be required during construction, with flaggers stationed throughout the work area to allow alternating traffic. Hours of construction will be 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Data collected indicated that more than 54% of vehicles traveling on Federal Street exceeded the posted speed limit of 25 mph. From 2020 to 2024, there have been six recorded crashes at this intersection involving pedestrians, many resulting in serious injuries.
🎉 Happy to share that the newly built Davis Avenue Pedestrian Bridge, reconnecting Brighton Heights with Riverview Park, is OPEN to the public! I look forward to celebrating this important project on June 20 at 11:30am. I hope you'll join me on a walk across the bridge.
