I've actually seen businesses with signs to the effect of "all minors must be accompanied by an adult".

The entire trail system going all around it. You get such beautiful views of the city beyond the standard one from Grandview Ave.

They also waived virtually all the permitting and pre-clearance requirements. The project was not even put to competitive bidding, it was just given to whoever someone in PennDOT thought could get it done ASAP. This was not normal in anyway.

Yup and the PennDOT official in the article said as much too. This is not the new normal for PennDOT, it was an emergency.

I had a look at the site from Frick Park last week and it seemed pretty much done, so I'm not surprised that they did this today. It looks pretty good!

Reply to comment by catbosspgh in Can anyone further down Forbes solve the mystery of the Great Oakland Thanksgiving traffic jam? Thx in advance! by catbosspgh
To be fair, traffic in Oakland has been bad for weeks because of all the construction. Crossing Fifth as a pedestrian is downright hazardous in the late afternoon because you can't see the walk sign and the drivers seem to ignore the traffic lights.

Yup, just saw this today (didn't remember to take a picture unfortunately). For some reason, it was like all the cars on the entire road were honking at the same time, which is why I noticed the huge truck in the first place. Like, it was as long as the entire width of Forbes and then some. Took forever for it to turn.
