18th Street steps safety & lighting
18th St city steps, South Side Slopes · City-steps revitalization (partial)
The Impact
Few things say Pittsburgh like a hillside staircase — restore this one as a safe, beloved landmark. This staircase is iconic enough on the Slopes that it shows up in neighborhood photos, not just neighborhood commutes. Restoring it keeps a recognizable piece of the Slopes' identity from quietly falling apart.
Scope
Handrails, tread repair, and step lighting on one of the Slopes' iconic public stairways.
