Pittsburgh Regional Transit will eliminate some of its trips from Swissvale on one bus route on the busy Martin Luther King Jr
the agency was considering changing the path of the P3 route so it would begin in Wilkinsburg rather than Swissvale
Instead of ending its route at Fifth Avenue and Robinson Street
it would extend to Downtown Pittsburgh as part of the new Bus Rapid Transit system known as the University Line
When riders who use the three stops that would have been eliminated by starting in Wilkinsburg protested
PRT agreed to continue studying that route to see what the agency could do with service from Swissvale
told the agency’s Planning and Stakeholder Relations Committee the plans now call for P3 service from Swissvale at least every other trip
Provonsha added that the agency also will extend additional trips to Swissvale during rush hours
executive director of Pittsburghers for Public Transit
said Wednesday she was happy P3 riders will have service from Swissvale at least some of the time
“It is a good sign that they listened to riders and heard how important that service is,” Wiens said
With the agency in the midst of a full redesign of bus routes
it’s possible that all of the trips from Swissvale could be restored over the next few years
The proposed change was part of a series of adjustments the agency was planning in advance of the University Line
71C Point Breeze and 71D Hamilton — were slated to end in Oakland
requiring riders heading for Downtown Pittsburgh to transfer to continue
The changes to those four routes began in October 2023 with the start of construction for the University Line in the Golden Triangle
The goal was to reduce the number of routes entering the downtown area during construction of five stations for the new line
which will have exclusive lanes Downtown and on Fifth and Forbes avenues between Downtown and Oakland
Downtown construction should be finished by early next year
when work will shift to Uptown and Oakland for the second part of the $291 million project
Buses will start using the Downtown lanes and stations when they are ready

his father took him to his first Pittsburgh Pirates baseball home opener at Forbes Field in Oakland
He attended his 68th home opener Friday at PNC Park
Sitting in front-row box seats for 40-plus home games each season at Forbes Field from 1958 to 1970 instilled a love of the game for Wray
He said he has met countless Pirates players and staff members throughout the nearly seven-decade streak of attending games
One of the most memorable moments was the day he met Roberto Clemente
came to Wray’s childhood home in Swissvale when Wray was a teenager
befriended Clemente after meeting him at Forbes Field in Oakland and invited him to the Wray family house
Roberto was pitching to his son and the child was having trouble hitting the ball,” said Wray
“Clemente handed me the ball and asked me to pitch to him so he could show his son how to hit the ball
I thought he was going to hit it so hard he might break something in the house
I threw three fast pitches and Roberto missed
Wray can say he struck out Clemente — with a miniature souvenir bat and a ping pong ball
got those tickets to the home opener so long ago
“I don’t remember much about that game
but I looked it up and the Pirates lost 4-1 to the Reds on a grand slam by Vada Pinson,” Wray said
“I didn’t realize that this game was going to be the start of something that would last for decades.”
He did realize he was keeping a streak going by the time he was in college at Penn State
He made sure to get home for the home opener each year
got tickets from a connection he made with Pat Schoff
said he attended 1960 World Series games and four of the five Major League Baseball All-Star games played in Pittsburgh
“I have lots of terrific memories,” Wray said
who has attended almost as many home openers as him
they only stayed one inning because there was an emergency at her job
“There is no way I could have done this without my wife,” Wray said
and the home opener is part of her birthday present.”
Eight home openers have been played on that day
and the Pirates have a 3-5 record on her birthday
The couple has passed their love of baseball down to their sons
They’ve brought them both to multiple home openers
Members of his family were together for Wray’s 50th home opener
where the Pirates honored him on the field
The Wrays received jerseys with their last name on them and “07” on the back because the year was 2007
His sister reached out to the Pirates through a connection to make this happen
who was at the game with his parents Friday
joked that his father didn’t take him and his brother to a home opener until they were 7 because he didn’t want them to tie or break his streak
one of his most important questions was if he could have a day off in early April
“They always said yes,” Wray said
“Just look at this crowd,” Wray said as he stood outside PNC Park
“There’s still hope on opening day
Wray said he has wonderful memories of World Series games being played at the former Three Rivers Stadium on the North Shore
The beautiful view from PNC Park building more memories
Yet Forbes Field remains his favorite stadium
Wray has two iron scoreboard numbers from Forbes Field as mementos
That is also the park where he watched Clemente play most of his games
He recalled Clemente would run past Wray’s seats to and from his position in right field
Wray would call Clemente’s name and he would acknowledge Wray with a nod
Clemente invited Wray to the team clubhouse a few times
When Clemente died in an airplane crash Dec
Wray was watching Penn State play Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans
“The headline said Clemente was missing,” Wray said of reading the story in The Times-Picayune
“It said ‘Adios amigo,’ ” Wray remembered
“I still get emotional thinking about Roberto

assistant teaching professor in Pitt’s Urban Studies Program
a professor at Youngstown State University
were awarded the 2024 Mon Valley Initiative Community Partner of the Year for their work on the SEED for Swissvale project
The award recognizes projects and partnerships that aid “the recovery of post-industrial communities within the Mon Valley through rebuilding or creating community infrastructure or linking people and employers.”
The initial scope of the SEED for Swissvale project was mapping vacant land in Swissvale borough
just above the site of Carrie Blast Furnaces historical site
Mapping efforts began in summer 2023 with students designing and carrying out a survey of vacant land parcels in Swissvale
students have been using census data and GIS to map socioeconomic and demographic variables
highlighting disparities between Swissvale and nearby Regent Square
Next steps will include “data walks,” an interactive way for community stakeholders to share information about vacant land and potential future uses
Central to the project is the active involvement of students from both the University of Pittsburgh and Youngstown State University
Pitt students involved in SEED for Swissvale include:
new students will join the project and begin planning the data walks
The project provides students with hands-on experience in several critical areas
data collection design and geographic information systems
This direct involvement not only enhances the students’ practical skills but helps them understand citizen engagement
respecting community values and bottom-up approaches to planning

while climate change exacerbates these problems
the program is now coming to the western side of the state
The first place in Allegheny County to become a Bird Town is Swissvale
urban borough on the outskirts of Pittsburgh
Swissvale created a community pollinator garden as part of their Climate Action Plan
and now it’s also Swissvale’s standout Bird Town project
Ansell walked through the garden and admired the new growth situated along Edgewood Avenue at a main entrance into the borough
Welcome signage explains how these plants attract bees
butterflies and other pollinators – insects that also feed birds
A pair of benches in the center of the garden await visitors
raspberry and blueberry bushes line the perimeter
Ansell said the space used to be a vacant stone lot but “is now an area that is lush with greenery
and a variety of different plants and flowers and all kinds of things that make it look much more inviting than it previously did.”
This empty lot was transformed into a budding pollinator garden with the help of Humane Action Pittsburgh, a local animal welfare organization, and a $20,000 state grant. In April, the project received a Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence
Ansell said it’s only the beginning for Swissvale’s Bird Town program
“We want to be a leader in environmental change,” she said
“The Bird Town project [helps us] make a greater impact towards our climate action plans.”
Swissvale will take conservation actions that create healthy
This involves projects that restore habitats
Bird Town also encourages collaborations between schools
and local organizations to promote community-wide engagement in bird-friendly initiatives
As the executive director of the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania
it’s Jim Bonner’s job to help more communities become a Bird Town
we’re talking actively with about a dozen different communities that are somewhere along the process of becoming certified,” he said
“There are about 50 bird towns in southeastern PA right now
and I can’t wait to see Pittsburgh and our region here have more than that side of the state.”
Bonner and ASWP provide guidance and expertise for Bird Towns
as well as mini-grants funded by Duquesne Light and the Laurel Foundation
(The Laurel Foundation also funds The Allegheny Front)
Bonner said he aims to foster connections between the growing number of communities joining the Bird Town effort
what we really would like to see is a lot of multi-community collaboration,” he said
they travel back and forth between a wide range of areas
you can probably unite people the same way.”
Efforts like these to support birds are key to repairing ecosystems and tackling environmental issues. Bird biodiversity helps scientists measure the health of the environment because birds provide what are called ecosystem services
spreading nutrients with their droppings; they disperse seeds that grow to become our food
Birds’ decline signals environmental degradation
“The old adage about a canary in a coal mine is as true now as it’s ever been,” Bonner said
“Things that happen to birds will probably happen to us
Ansell added that Bird Town will benefit human spaces
“It makes it a more appealing place to live when you have biodiversity,” she said
“Nature is something that we don’t often get a lot of in urban settings
and so having our green spaces [is] nice for a community.”
bird-friendly spaces for Swissvale residents
She said she feels especially proud to be the first Bird Town in the county
paving the way for other communities in southwestern Pennsylvania

2024 at 10:45 am ET.css-79elbk{position:relative;}Triangle owner Tom Crombie (R) and longtime Triangle employee Jason Stewart (L)
Sam and Rose Catanzano opened an inconspicuous establishment in Swissvale called the Triangle Bar & Grill never suspecting what they would inadvertently help to launch: the Battleship
created the gargantuan sub for which the restaurant is nationally known
The Battleship is a more like an aircraft carrier of a sandwich; it's 27 inches long and packed with 1.25 pounds of meat and cheese
"It's the sandwich that made Swissvale famous," current owner Tom Crombie told Patch
The Triangle marks its 90th anniversary on Saturday and Crombie is promising a celebration from 12 p.m.-5 p.m
at the venerable tavern his parents bought in 1982
"Bob & Judy Crombie took a chance and purchased the Triangle Bar from the Catanzano family," Crombie said
my sisters and I are grateful for those who came before us and led by example."
In addition to the more than one pound of salami
the Battleship comes with heaping helpings of lettuce
Though wildly popular - the sandwiches have been shipped around the country to Pittsburgh expatriates - the Battleship's vastness can be intimidating
So the Triangle offers two smaller versions
the 12-inch Destroyer and the 6-inch Torpedo
will be on hand for Saturday's celebration to add to the unbelievable number of sandwiches he has made during this time there
"My estimate is he's somewhere around 350,000 to 425,000 made in his lifetime."

Kareef Easington didn’t want to face justice
Convicted of two counts of first-degree murder in the shooting death last year of a Swissvale woman and her 7-year-old daughter
Easington refused to leave his jail cell Thursday to attend his sentencing — and face his victims’ family
Removing him by force from his cell wasn’t “in anyone’s best interest,” Allegheny County Jail Deputy Warden Fred Young said
sister-in-law and friend memorialized the Swissvale woman and her daughter Lyla while Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Kevin G
“I cry every day and every night,” Megan’s mother
“But there’s no hate in my heart.”
Sasinoski left his fifth-floor courtroom for the Downtown jail
where he formally imposed sentence on Easington: mandatory life in prison without parole
and Lyla in the head at close range on Feb
Megan tried kicking Easington out of the Swissvale apartment where he boarded on and off with her for several months
when she asked Sasinoski to consider her granddaughter’s playfulness before he sentenced Easington
she loved to play in the mud,” Campbell
“I’m scared of anything that crawls
And she had so much life left to live.”
As she read a line about watching her husband — Megan’s brother —grieve
she stopped reading the printed statement in her hands
“The loss of Megan and Lyla has shattered the entire family,” she said
“Every day is a constant reminder of what’s been taken away.”
Investigators believe that Easington killed Megan and Lyla around 7 a.m
on that February morning in their Sailor Place apartment
Joan Campbell spoke with her daughter on the phone that morning at 6:22 a.m
The last words she heard her daughter say — words directed at Easington
prosecutors said — were: “‘Get the [expletive] hell out of my house.’”
Easington called 911 that morning three times between 9:06 a.m
He then barricaded the apartment’s front door — placing a 50-pound and 30-pound weight on a chair against it — before leaping off the balcony to the mulch below and fleeing the crime scene
Video surveillance showed Easington running from the apartment
he was wearing the same clothes captured on video — a gray
Tyleda Worou had been friends with Megan for three decades
Worou was pregnant with her youngest son at the same time Megan was pregnant with Lyla
The kids were “inseparable” as they grew up together
Her son remains confused about his lifelong friend’s absence
how old is Lyla now?’ — I just broke down,” Worou said
“He knows his friend is gone but he doesn’t have that understanding.”
Worou asked the judge to hand down “the highest punishment” for “someone so cold and heartless.”
Joan Campbell didn’t mention prison sentences
she repeatedly insisted that she must remain strong in aftermath of her daughter’s and granddaughter’s tragic deaths
“It seems like my life is over but it’s not,” she said
“I’m still here … in spite of what the enemy does

a broadly trained geographer and professor at Youngstown State University
has received the Mon Valley Initiative Community Partner of the Year award for her extensive efforts to revitalize and maintain community environments

Cerney is currently working with Swissvale
a small community on the east side of Pittsburgh
Swissvale has experienced years of disrepair
that industrial blueprint has attracted external investment
threatening the community’s "heart and soul,” as Cerney describes it
The Seed for Swissvale project aims to maintain and proliferate the community’s values and unique culture
a professor at the University of Pittsburgh in the urban and regional studies program with a background in city planning
they help with procuring grants and implementing community outreach plans that promote the satisfaction of human needs and desires
economic stability and environmental sustainability
all the seeds that are in place over hundreds of years welcome that fire because it allows the serotinous cones to open and a new forest is regenerated
but it’s regenerated under the conditions at the time of the fire and thereafter
if it’s warmer or colder or wetter or drier
the new ecosystem is adapted to those current conditions as the product of diverse seed and soil resources from the former forest.”
Through the adaptation of the community’s values and priorities
Cerney and Lucas seek to enhance the value of the area both monetarily and culturally
They start by mapping and modeling vacant land in Swissvale; the first step in identifying what properties are/will be available for community development
and in establishing a plan on how to best utilize those properties so that it aligns with community values with adherence to environmental risks
they then identify the best practices for sustainable community design that support stability and safety
This entails creating walkable neighborhoods
and considering the natural hazards and limitations of the area
they push to develop and support community engagement opportunities to create resident cooperation in community development and design planning
their aim is to execute these steps in tandem with the distribution of basic needs across the community
Not only do they hope to create a significantly greater level of sustainability and livability for Swissvale’s current residents; they have their sight set on building a better tomorrow for generations to come
“I think that’s [the award] validation of the work that we’ve been doing...the value of being awarded by an outside agency sort of brings it full circle to those who don’t understand what you’re doing
and that then leverages opportunities to do more of that work somewhere else,” she said
Angela Stribling and Shawn Alfonso Wells were walking out of the council building following a Juneteenth committee meeting
and they were able to hand Swissvale’s Juneteenth flyer to a few young children
Stribling recalls the young girl shrieking as she said
My grandma will be so excited about this.”
“That’s why we are doing this work
It’s for the next generations,” Stribling
a borough councilperson and member of the Juneteenth Committee
This is the third year of Swissvale’s Juneteenth celebration
presented by the Juneteenth Committee within Swissvale’s Diversity
Freedom for Black people is an ongoing fight and journey
many of the Juneteenth Committee members said
It’s also a celebration of the liberation of slaves and the abolishment of slavery
enslaved people had already been legally freed with the Emancipation Proclamation that was passed in 1863
the Civil War had ended and many slaves were considered free
with the official abolishment of slavery coming in December 1865 with the ratification of the 13th Amendment
The first Juneteenth celebrations were about celebrating that freedom and trying to reunite with family members who were separated due to enslavement
Stribling credits longtime teacher Opal Lee
considered the “Grandmother of Juneteenth,” with Juneteenth gaining national recognition
“This holiday is so amazing because it encapsulates the celebration of us,” Fred Quinn
“in a way that we as Black people typically celebrate… outside
we think about socio-economic systems that have been put into place that have hindered us,” Shawn Alfonso Wells
vice president of Swissvale Council and member of the Juneteenth Committee
Gaining freedom during Juneteenth is not the end of the story
because what followed was the Jim Crow era
and a continuous fight toward liberation for Black people
“This is making sure people understand how precious freedom is and that you are not necessarily completely free until you free yourself from the systems that keep your brain shackled
There is still work to do,” she said
Alfonso Wells points to injustices like those taking place in Florida
teaching about the benefits of enslavement
as well as the denial of reparations to Oklahoma Tulsa Race Massacre survivors
which she said were “legislative bodies that are trying to put into place actions so that people will never understand what their history is,” she said
there are still things in society that deem that we cannot be who we are
pride knowing that people have accomplished things
the Black female mortality rate is higher than anywhere else,” Alfonso Wells said
it is necessary to have that pride and to demand their personhood be acknowledged
“so that when you go to that doctor’s appointment and that doctor is telling you you’re fine
‘I know that I’m having an issue and I would like it to be addressed.’”
Stribling said that this event taking place is also an accomplishment and adds to the legacy of community in Swissvale
“Juneteenth is our way of being proud of ourselves
The best thing about this community is that the entire community shows up
We see a lot of different Swissvalians coming out
Swissvale’s Juneteenth Committee is multicultural
Quinn became a council member last year and this was his first year on the Diversity
Equity and Inclusion Committee and being able to assist in the Juneteenth planning
“I think that it’s important for us now
especially to our younger generation,” Quinn said
Quinn said that Juneteenth is something that America as a whole is learning more about as we go along
“Slavery was the biggest blood stain on this country since its inception
especially now when our rights are still in jeopardy,” Quinn said
and being able to stand with each other fighting for the voiceless,” Quinn said
Attendees of Swissvale’s Juneteenth Committee can expect a historical explanation and remembrance of Juneteenth
There will also be performances from members of the Divine Nine
which represent the nine historically Black Greek-letter organizations
“It is a full showcasing and celebration of the Black experience,” Stribling said
