What Wheelchair Users Experience In Pgh City Cast Pittsburgh

With one look down, it’s obvious that Pittsburgh’s sidewalks need some work. The city just announced that it’s getting $3 million in state grant money for infrastructure projects, but only a small portion of it will go to toward making these paths more accessible. Newsletter editor Francesca Dabecco is talking with disability advocate and leader of Access Mob Pittsburgh, Alisa Grishman, about what it’s like to be a wheelchair user in Pittsburgh, and what our neighbors — with or without disabilities — can do to help to create a safer, more accessible city.

The 10.27 Healing Partnership, which was created in the aftermath of the mass shooting at Tree of Life synagogue, plans to keep working another five years. You can listen here to our interview with Director Maggie Feinstein about processing grief.
