image of statement reading: Yesterday, disturbing messages – including Nazi songs and a death threat against Mayor O’Connor – went out over Pittsburgh police broadcast scanners. In the wake of these frightening messages, Pittsburgh Police Zone 4 is increasing patrols at religious institutions. As law enforcement investigates the incident, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police asks the community to be vigilant, and please call 911 to report suspicious behavior. Pittsburgh’s ethnic and religious diversity is our strength and our asset. We must protect it as we continue to reject hate in all its forms.

image of press release reading: Construction to Begin on the Panther Hollow Bridge in Oakland Pittsburgh, PA – After being closed since October 2024, crews are beginning to prepare the Panther Hollow Bridge in Oakland for construction. Mayor Corey O’Connor and the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI) have announced that the bridge repair contractor has begun installing safety infrastructure and will be starting repairs in the next two weeks. This week, contractors are installing a work platform under the bridge that will prevent debris from falling below. Repairs will begin over the next couple of weeks and will include truss retrofits, drainage system improvements, miscellaneous repairs and general maintenance. Construction is expected to go through August 2026. The current detour for vehicles will remain in place throughout construction, but there will be bicycle and pedestrian access across and under the bridge, except as necessary to move equipment and materials.
