Please Help Us Keep Roads and Walkways Clear

During these cold and snowy winter months, Edgewood Borough would like to remind our residents of a few tips to help us get through the winter.

Please remember to keep your sidewalks clear of snow and ice. This not only helps keep Edgewood a walkable community, but un-shoveled sidewalks look like no one is home and could be a tip to would-be burglars. Check in on your neighbors, and even offer to help shovel for someone who is unable to do it themselves.

Our public works crews are working hard to keep our streets salted and plowed. Please help them out by not shoveling snow back into the roadway. If you park on the street, please park as close as possible to the curb to allow us to treat the roads. Tuck in your side mirrors, too!

When walking your dogs, please continue to pick up after them even when there is snow.

Most importantly - stay warm and safe!

Leaf Collection Ends December 21

Attention All Residents: Leaf collection will be ending for the season on Friday, December 21.  During the last week, crews may deviate from the published schedule to attend to the areas most in need of collection.  Please refrain from placing any additional leaves at the curb next week-they will not be collected!  

Please note: on wet and rainy days, leaf collection takes extra time and is sometimes not possible.  

It is recommended residents bag their leaves for pickup by the trash collector.  

Thank you for your patience and understanding.  Our crews dealt with unusually bad weather this season which forced us to modify our collection routine.

Edgewood Historical Society - Influenza Epidemic Discussion on Weds., Nov. 7, 2018

The world's deadliest influenza pandemic - sometimes called the "Spanish Flu" or "the Gripe" - swept through Pittsburgh and the region in the fall of 1918.

Among those charged with trying to slow it down and save lives was Dr. Adolph Koenig - the medical supervisor for Allegheny County and a noted Edgewood resident.

The first officially recorded flu death of a Pittsburgh-area resident was on Oct. 5, 1918, though it is believed an increased number of pneumonia deaths in the weeks prior actually were flu-related. Pittsburgh had the highest death rate of any major U.S. city that year. More than one in every 100 people died, which was twice the national mortality rate, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At its height, someone in Pittsburgh came down with the flu every 70 seconds and while the virus killed someone every 10 minutes.

Dr. Koenig suggested that people gargle several times a day with "a tablespoon of salt and one of baking powder in a glass of water," according to "Pittsburgh in the Great Epidemic of 1918." He also recommended that people avoid alcohol as well as eat and drink moderately. Doctors in 1918, however, knew nothing of viruses.

It is estimated that about 500 million people - or one-third of the world's population - were sickened and that at least 50 million people died worldwide, according to the CDC. Some 675,000 of those deaths were in the United States. Pittsburgh hospitals treated nearly 24,000 people for the flu, and more than 4,500 residents died, according to data from Pittsburgh Mercy Health System. One of them was Dr. Koenig's son, Eugene. He was 20 years old.

The Edgewood Historical Society will discuss the 1918 influenza pandemic and Dr. Koenig from 6:30-8 p.m., Nov. 7, at the Edgewood Club. Please join us.

Edgewood Stands United

The Borough of Edgewood stands united with our fellow communities against Antisemitism and all acts of hatred and violence. Eleven people were killed and 6 wounded at the Tree of Life Synagogue on October 27, 2018 -- family members, neighbors, friends, and colleagues to many Edgewood residents. As the community continues to grieve such tragic loss, many residents are asking what they can do to help friends and the community heal. Here are a few suggestions:

Donate Funds to help those who were targeted by hate

The Tree of Life Synagogue accepts donations directly through its website https://www.tolols.org and Dor Hadash through its website http://dorhadash.net.

The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society offers legal assistance, psycho-social care and safe economic opportunities for refugees of all religious backgrounds. You can donate to HIAS through its website https://www.hias.org.

Donate Blood

There is still a need for O-positive, O-negative and platelet donations. Appointments can be made by calling Vitalant (formerly Central Blood Bank) 866-366-6771 or the Red Cross Pittsburgh: Phone: (888) 217-9599.

And, you can be KIND. Every Day. To Everyone. Practice KINDNESS; teach KINDNESS. Take the time to get to know your neighbors, care for them, and remember that we are all neighbors to one another.

Leaf Pickup Delayed Until Further Notice

Unfortunately, the Borough's leaf machine is badly damaged and in need of extreme repairs.

Leaf Pickup is delayed until further notice. We ask that you please bag and dispose of your own leaves during this time.

First, Officer Bryan Wyke was honored for his immediate response that saved the life of choking infant. Mayor Wilson proclaimed October 4, 2018 "Officer Bryan Wyke Day" in Edgewood.

Second, Officer Frederick Livingston was honored for his longstanding commitment to Edgewood, for his dedication in organizing the Citizen's Police Academy and receiving training to become a Juvenile Officer and for receiving a Master's Degree in Criminal Justice. Mayor Wilson proclaimed October 5, 2018 "Officer Frederick Livingston Day" in Edgewood.

Last and certainly not least, Mary Leigh Scuilli, also known as Mrs. Scuilli to all the current and former students in Edgewood, retired this year, after serving 47 years as a beloved Crossing Guard. Mrs. Scuilli's fine work, dedication and true love for all Edgewood students was well known. Mrs. Scuilli will be missed, but we were honored to have her service for nearly half a century. Mayor Wilson proclaimed October 3, 2018 "Mrs. Mary Leigh Scuilli Day" in Edgewood.

Memorial Park Tree Removal

This spring, a large Oak tree in Memorial Park fell during high winds. The Borough’s arborist was called in to the site, and determined that the tree was suffering from root rot, a fungus that infected the tree and caused the roots to become spongy. The roots, therefore, were not working to anchoring the tree into the ground. The arborist further informed the Borough that five other trees in Memorial Park were also suffering from extensive root rot, and could fall during high winds.

At the request of the Shade Tree Committee, a second arborist was brought in to assess the trees and provide a second opinion. It was confirmed that all five trees did have extensive root rot, which is a “cancer” for trees. Given the location of these trees next to busy roadways, the situation became a public safety concern. The trees are being removed to prevent them from falling onto the roadways.

Edgewood Borough Council values our urban forest, and is committed to its maintenance. Council will be working with the Shade Tree Committee to create a plan for replacement of the trees in Memorial Park. If you have any questions about Edgewood’s trees, please contact the Borough office at (412) 242-4824.

Please Help Us Keep Roads and Walkways Clear

As we dig out from the latest snow storm, Edgewood Borough wanted to remind our residents of a few tips to help us get through the winter.

Please remember to keep your sidewalks clear of snow and ice. This not only helps keep Edgewood a walkable community, but un-shoveled sidewalks look like no one is home and could be a tip to would-be burglars. Check in on your neighbors, and even offer to help shovel for someone who is unable to do it themselves.

Our public works crews are working hard to keep our streets salted and plowed. Please help them out by not shoveling snow back into the roadway. If you park on the street, please park as close as possible to the curb to allow us to treat the roads. Tuck in your side mirrors, too!

When walking your dogs, please continue to pick up after them even when there is snow.

Most importantly - stay warm and safe!

The Borough reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to waive any informalities in the bidding. No bid may be withdrawn for ninety (90) calendar days after the scheduled time for receipt of bids.

Attention is directed to the fact that procurement is subject to all requirements of the Pennsylvania “Steel Products Procurement Act, Act No. 1978-3”; and for Contract value exceeding $25,000, the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act (Act of 1961 P.L. 987), and The Public Works Employment Verification Act (July 2012) apply.

The Borough shall (a) award the construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder therefore, or (b) reject all bids received within ninety (90) days of the date of bid opening; provided, however, that the Borough may, in its sole discretion, delay such award or rejection for up to one hundred twenty (120) days from the bid opening date until the Borough has received all required approvals from other governmental agencies.

Bidders on this work will be required to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
