the fact this road is open to traffic during the weekday is an absolute joke. put up roadblocks from 8am - 5pm M-F, let the damn kids walk to class without playing frogger for Christ sakes.. drivers can make the turn on one of the countless side streets before or after.. any city official says anything, punch them in the face.

It's really that simple. It's on a campus, pitt should make the call.

I thought this was Pittsburgh, bridge over or tunnel under...you can thank me later...btw, that killer wrong way bus lane on 5th is a helluva lot more dangerous than Bigelow.

Gallagher and the BOT need to get a set of balls, and do something.

pitt officials vs city officials meet at schenley, no guns, weapons optional. whoever wins, gets bigelow and the rest of oakland. think The outsiders when the socs fight the greasers, if you don't know that reference, go with Gangs of New York, two sides square off and both end up dying at the hands of the military (UPMC).

Any "plan" (sarcastic font) to improve Pitt's campus that doesn't include the closure (and greening) of Bigelow between Fifth & Forbes is no plan at all.

Pitt deserves to be chastised to the highest degree for going along with any such plan. This is no way to treat the city's biggest employer.

Shame on Pitt's administration for not standing firm and insisting that the city do what's best for Pitt.

I was really hoping that this was a post about Bam Bam Bigelow.

Fitzgerald and his 20 kids are all nitters. Peduto tweets about PSU during games. The CFO & COO at Pitt both nitters. This is what we are up against.

PITT is one one of the four major non-profits currently negotiating with the city over future contributions. You would think PITT possessed some leverage regarding the Bigelow closure.

Why does Pitt appoint Nitters to their Leadership Team? That is absurd.

Perhaps it's time to put a few more Pitt people back in positions of running the University. Sometimes the take the diversity stuff a little too far.

and people wonder why we are where we are.

And no Pitt alums.

There should be zero PILOTs from Pitt. Zero. And they could have leveraged that completely. Pitt holds all the cards.

However I believe this is a positive. Anything to increase and improve pedestrian flow on campus is good. They're slowly eliminating parking on it. It seems like a step closer to closing it to vehicular traffic completely. Baby steps. Hopefully it makes driving on it unbearable.
