92026-0487Petition from the residents of the City of Pittsburgh requesting a Public Hearing before City Council regarding reopening Serpentine Drive in Schenley Park to cars. The Squirrel Hill Historical Society board and the people signing this petition feel that this road was intended for vehicular traffic, including bikes but not trucks, and not intended for pedestrians, who have many nearby trails to walk on that go to the same places. Serpentine Drive is the only road on the eastern side of Schenley Park that keeps traffic inside the park instead of sending it on long, hazardous detours on nearby residential streets, including one that has no sidewalks. Except for the Panther Hollow Bridge, it is the only road that connects the north side of the park with the south side without forcing traffic to leave the park. It is also a safer connecting road to Oakland from the Greenfield Bridge. The Petition is valid in accordance with the Home Rule Charter.A motion was made that this matter be Held for Cablecast Public Hearing. The motion carried.Held for Cablecast Public Hearing1
