💸 Pgh will fine you for trash violations
October 24, 2024 · — Francesca Dabecco

It’s Thursday: the tastiest day on the City Cast Pittsburgh podcast! 😋
I’m on the mic with host Megan Harris to talk about some frighteningly delicious Pittsburgh dishes, a brick-and-mortar for a favorite soup maker, a new wine bar, a cute coffee shop on the East End, and a beloved brewery’s new digs in Uptown. Dig in with us!


What's CITY Talking About?
💰 City Will Fine You For Trash Violations
Starting next year, you could get a fine between $35 and $100 if you don’t follow Pittsburgh’s garbage rules. Trash must be in a tightly sealed container and out of public view. It also can’t be on the curb before 6 p.m. on the night before collection, and it must be put away before 10 p.m. on collection day. [KDKA]
🎤 Point Park Pitches An Entertainment Venue
Mayor Ed Gainey says he wants new housing, riverfront amenities, and entertainment spaces to attract more businesses Downtown. Point Park University wants to be part of the plan, and shared its own proposal to build a 2,000-seat community center for live performances and sporting events. [TribLive]
- ➡️ Get to know more of Gainey’s goals, what’s inside his 2025 budget proposal, and the real deal behind our city’s financial difficulties. [🎧 City Cast Pittsburgh]

🪨 New Climbing Walls & Bike Track
The Boyce Bouldering Park and Pump Track is now open in Monroeville. The sports complex includes a series of outdoor climbing walls and a paved pump track with rolling hills for riders to gain speed. [Allegheny County]
🚧 Charles Anderson Bridge Construction
Right as the Panther Hollow bridge closed this week, a two-year, $48.5 million rehab project began on the Charles Anderson bridge, just a couple hundred yards away in Schenley Park. [Union Progress]
