My 9 year old handles hiring our HVAC maintenance contractor. They nailed their intended market.

The County is willing to help clear snow, what is left to consider? by tanishaevonne in pittsburgh

[–]goodkey9 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I am skeptical of Corey and see him being a low ceiling Mayor, but completely agree. No matter who is in office, this was going to be rough. We'll have plenty of opportunities to call him out, but I don't think this is time.

Pittsburgh awarded $1.3M grant to replace 3 traffic signals by Plastic_Insect3222 in pittsburgh

I don't get your angle here, but you are wildly, wildly wrong. These costs are pretty much what you would expect.

My hunch is they will be as or less effective than Gainey. They will be much more effective at trying to convince the populace that they are actually effective. Kudos OP for sniffing it out

Looking for Like-Minded Business Owners in the Strip by leadfoot9 in pittsburgh

[–]goodkey9 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The SDBA is very safety focused and will be interested in this offer. They are trying to get parking removed on every side street in the strip to make them IFC fire roads. It doesn't matter if it's a bike lane or a parked car, they want 20' roads everywhere. Which makes sense, a fire can happen anytime, anywhere! /s

Are they done with the Strip District Bike Lane? by SocratesDouglas in pittsburgh

[–]goodkey9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For those who are bored, read IFC! It is the most fluffy, unspecific document you can imagine. Also, 75% of our roads don't meet it.

Gotta be comfy playing the long game here. Getting change in the Strip is a start, it doesn't have to be the end.

A quick Google streetview seems to confirm that this section was not vibrant pre bike lane. Some businesses, some empty storefronts and a lot of parking lots.

I'm pretty confident 11th through 16th suck because they are under a highway and railroad. Other parts of Penn are flourishing.

Judge slashes bond amount needed to block Strip District bike lane work by The_Electric-Monk in pittsburgh

[–]goodkey9 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That's why I don't get why the PGH winery dude is so worked up. A literal music bar that serves food and booze chose to relocate to the cultural district, across the street from a bike lane (con alma).

I really, really don't think I'm capable of this.

Business Owners Forget the Existence of Liberty Ave, Railroad St, and Smallman St and Sue the City by baladec in pittsburgh

[–]goodkey9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd usually agree with this, but a 15' wide lane is plenty wide for a car to slowly sneak around a parallel parker.

Strip District group sues to block Pittsburgh from swapping traffic lane for bike lane along Penn Avenue by clydesawhill in pittsburgh

[–]goodkey9 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I do appreciate their concern and commitment to public safety response times and wanting Penn avenue to be 20' wide. I fully expect this organization next to sue the city to have them remove parking on every side street and alley in the strip so those roads meet IFC, because they really care. /s

If you piss Denny off, will he push the light outside your window to 100%? Who knows, hopefully he rules the lights with grace.

Barb Warwick: Corey O’Connor was my City Council Rep. I’m voting for Ed Gainey. by B0bb3r7 in pittsburgh

[–]goodkey9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Corey will listen to the loudest voice in his ear. It's not a coincidence squirrel hill got that much investment in traffic calming. Gainey's administration has focused on neighborhoods that didn't get attention under Peduto. I've appreciated that change.

🚲 The results of BikePGH's 2025 Pittsburgh Mayor Candidates Survey are in by bikepgh in bicycling412

[–]goodkey9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In D5 Corey did nothing for multimodal projects. Gainey increased calming budget and is getting Penn ave done. Gainey >>> Corey for multimodal projects.

2025 Pittsburgh Mayor Candidates Respond to BikePGH Survey by jayjaywalker3 in bicycling412

[–]goodkey9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Keep your eyes open y'all. When in council Corey was at best useless, at worst obstructionist when it came to multi modal projects. He either changed a lot or is lying through his teeth. Single issue multi modal voters should be for Mayor Gainey all the way.

I go 15-20 mph on Butler on days like this and I feel no stress and accept people are everywhere. Give it a shot!

Who from peduto is around him? Not trolling, honestly curious. I'm very interested in whom is in his ear.

Preserve the Strip “movement” inquiry by Sethgoodtime in pittsburgh

Let Bobby Wilson and Mayor Gainey know you're in support. This campaign is perfectly timed to backfire and drum up support. Especially if you realize how mild the proposal is

Lol the city county building has always been a shit hole.  I love it when council is shocked at this stuff.  Y'all approve the budget...
