I lived up there for 8 years.

The things I liked:

The views and bars/restaurants are nice, and the short commute to station square. The trails are great too!

Things I hated:

The tourists hogging up the incline forcing me to have to walk down sycamore and the old vineclife steps many times. Or just having the incline break down.

I used to live on Mt. Washington and trying to get to my house after work was a nightmare some days. I overheard a kid ask his mom what the incline was for and she said “so visitors to the city can see the view” and I was like “uh yes but also no ma’am, this is how we get home from work.” She had no idea people lived there.

I've always wondered if Mt. Washington and Duquesne Heights residents could convince PAT/PRT and the operator of the Duquesne Incline to have a dedicated, priority line for them to use the inclines.

That would be awesome! I'd be all for that!
