There's a house in Highland Park that is all matte black/charcoal and has a pink front door. It looks much better than this oddity.

ACCESS absolutely should work; that's what it's for!

I dont think Google had anything to do with it, it was CMU robotics, CMU's Traffic21, City of Pittsburgh, and East Liberty Development joint project. CMU also made the tech for transit signal priority to work on the future BRT corridors, and has been ready to go from PRT and CMU for many years while DOMI drags its feet.

The problem in East Lib is, as you alluded and another commenter mentioned, every road going through that area seems a main road. The roads would need to be significantly redesigned far beyond just changing the signaling to have any real improvement. There's no reason why Negley and Highland have about the same automobile traffic hierarchy, and same for Baum, Center, and Penn. Penn is a state owned road, Negley and Highland are city owned, not sure about the others. PennDOT is notoriously awful at working with localities to make the local situation better. They just care about "level of service" on their own roads, and pretty much nothing else. Maybe, if I give them some benefit, they care a little about deaths, but not enough to challenge the almighty LOS gods.

My ex-wife, a nurse, sees the same situation and blames the union for not being negotiable. Ex-wife.

Her plan is to move out of state and get a job as a traveling nurse, for as long as possible without them realizing that she bought a place in town. Despite the obviously limited nature of that plan's viability, that's as far into the future as she has planned.

What's gonna happen when they realize she lives locally and has a mortgage?

Again, ex-wife.

Cool found your link (in your profile if anyone else is curious). Do you take custom commissions, if so can you PM me?

Lovely work. Do you sell anywhere?

True, I'm sure their inventory changes quickly, the last time I went there it felt like Black Friday at Walmart... got there 20 minutes before open and it was already packed. Went there for some tables and only got one because it wouldn't fit in someone else's car.

The second you find one, everyone and their brother will start renovating and leaving these doors all over the curbs in your area. Probably ones you like more than the one you find.

At least that's my experience whenever I buy something I've been looking for forever...

I assume you've tried Craigslist and the usual online platforms?

In my neighborhood these old houses tend to get restored to save their original character so there are a lot of nice examples what you're looking for around here... but I doubt anyone is going to remove them these days. A few houses are being worked on now I'll look next time I take the dog out and see if they have any relevant doors... have you considered if it's possible for a furniture maker to modify and existing door for you? Might be a good compromise.

I recall ReStore having doors but exclusively cheaper, newish ones. Much worse selection than CJ. Can't hurt to call though, and I think they post inventory on facebook.

Is this the place in squirrel hill that does some late night shopping hours while serving alcohol? I've been meaning to go there.
