With over 800 staircases, Pittsburgh has the most public steps of any city in America. In Greenfield we have staircases and jump-walks (*sidewalks with built-in steps) that make connections between streets and traverse our steep hills.
But with limited resources, the City of Pittsburgh needs to prioritize maintenance.

- Are the steps in need of repair or maintenance (weeds or snow)?
- Are there steps you’d use but they’re closed or too dangerous?
- Do you have ideas on how to improve the City’s steps?
