Fall Leaf Collection
Annual leaf collection starts Monday October 30, 2023. Residents must
not place leaves at the curb until this time. Leaves left at the curb
for an extended period of time are very difficult to vacuum and slow
down the collection process since they soak up water and become
compacted from vehicle traffic. Help our public works department by
keeping your leaves in your yard until the day before they're scheduled
for collection. Doing so ensures that everyone's leaves are collected in
a timely manner. Thursday is a catch up day. Public works uses this day
to go back over any streets needing extra cleaning or that they couldn’t
complete earlier in the week.
Property owners that routinely place piles of leaves in the street
days before their scheduled collection day may be subject to enforcement
action for creating an unsafe condition. Collection delays and
cancellations will be posted on the borough marquis, phone system and
our Facebook page and website.

Tee-Ball:
Tee-ball is for girls and boys ages 4-7, with the addition this year of
4 year-olds. Children should be 4 as of June 1st. Also new this year, if
registration numbers allow, we are planning to break participants into
two divisions: Division 1 (4/5 year-olds), and Division 2 (6/7
year-olds). Division 1 will focus on player participation and learning
basic skills. Each child gets to bat and field each inning, with all
games being played from the Tee. Division 2 will build on the basics,
and introduce more team-based skills, with position play, and counting
of outs (no strike-outs). Depending on progression of the group,
Division 2 has the potential to move to coach-pitch later in the season.
This sport will meet twice weekly; days and times are TBD. Cleats may be
worn, but are not necessary. Shirts and caps will be provided.

Community Survey - Koenig Field
Edgewood Borough Council would like resident input on prioritizing
investment in Koenig Field. Please click the link below to take
the survey. Responses must be received by Friday September 3,
2021.

Regional Climate Survey
From CONNECT: What can our region do about climate change and the
vulnerabilities it creates in our communities? Please tell us in
CONNECT’s
Regional Climate Survey. It will only take about 5 minutes and
will help our local governments plan for the future.
Storm Cleanup
Cleanup continues following the severe storms that impacted Edgewood
Borough on Wednesday July 9, 2021. The Department of Public Works has
removed a majority of the downed borough owned street trees and limbs
from private property and roadways. Privately owned trees are the
responsibility of the property owner to clean up and remove. Residents
can easily discern between a private tree and a street tree based on its
location relative to the street curb. Any tree between the curb and
sidewalk is a borough owned street tree. Trees behind the sidewalk, or
behind the curb on streets without sidewalks, are the responsibility of
the property owner.
Please do not set piles of limbs from private trees along the
sidewalk or roadside unless they are bundled for collection by Republic
Services. Only limbs and branches under 4 inches in diameter, cut into
36 inch lengths, and weighing less than 40 lbs will be collected by
Republic Services. Smaller branches and twigs should be tied into
bundles meeting the same requirements.
Problems with your electrical service should be directed to Duquesne
Light by calling 412-393-7000.
In general, please exercise caution when walking under all trees over
the next few days as limbs may continue to fall from previously
unidentified breaks or that are shaken loose by the wind. Downed limbs
and wires should be reported to the borough by calling 911. This ensures
the necessary resources are dispatched.
Lastly, despite news reports indicating so, borough officials did not
declare a state of emergency. This information was falsely tweeted by
Allegheny County communications staff and then repeated by local media
outlets.
Youth Soccer
Youth Soccer is open to girls and boys ages 4-14. Participants should
be 4 as of September 1. You do not need to be an Edgewood resident to
play. Registration begins July 15 and ends August 15. The season starts
the week of August 30, and runs through the end of October. Practices
and games are held at Koenig Field. Cleats and shin guards should be
worn, and it is recommended to bring a practice ball. Shirts and socks
will be provided. The registration fee is $65.
To register, please use this link:

Questions should be directed to Abby at
office@edgewoodboro.com.

Straub will be leading the group through yoga and mindfulness
techniques. Classes will meet Mondays from 7:15-8:15pm. Class dates will
be July 12, July 19, August 9, and August 16 (please note: there will be
no classes on July 26 and August 2). The drop-in rate per class is $15,

participating, please follow this link to the registration form:
https://forms.gle/jSiEmbVjLRNbSMPN7
In the case of inclement weather, students that are per-registered
for the session will be emailed a Zoom link prior to the regularly
scheduled class time. Additional details, including payment options, can
be found on the form above.
Free Summer Movies in the Park
We are currently planning for two family friendly movies, one
each in June and July. We are moving movie night to Friday, to try to

2021 Spring Plant Sale Pre-Order
We are very excited to open up the 2021 Spring Edible Plant Sale, now
through Tuesday, January 26th, 2021!
Pittsburgh area artist and organic gardener, Karen Sandorf, will
be lovingly growing each plant from seed, just in time for the growing
season. We are accepting pre-orders this week only, to ensure an
accurate seed and supply order for our gardener.

(from last year), so please look that over again before ordering. You'll
find links to the updated plant list, and to the order form, at the
bottom.
Again, prices per pot are $3.50, and $3/$10. For
the 2 new container tomatoes Super Sweet 100 Cherry and for hot peppers,
a flat rate of $4 per plant.
How it works:
Peruse the plant list
here
When you have decided which plants you wish to reserve,
place your order here
All orders must be placed by the end of the week to receive plants
in the spring. Payment can be made via Paypal through her Square site,

home. A link will be provided through email prior to the class.
Courses will be offered for both youth and adults. Youth classes, for

2021 Plant Sale - SURVEY
Some of you may remember our sale of edible garden plants last spring.
We are happy to announce that we will be offering that again this year!
Once more we are teaming up with the talents of Pittsburgh area artist
and organic gardener Karen Sandorf (A Gardener’s Artworks,
karen-sandorf-gallery-shop.square.site). We’re starting with a brief
survey to allow some initial planning in seed purchases (you can still
order plants if you don’t participate in the survey). Please note the
changes to this year’s sale. In order to have an accurate number of
plants, orders will need to be placed BEFORE she places her final seed
order. This will leave a quick turn-around time between the available
survey and the order due date. Surveys are due by this Saturday, January
16th. Order forms will be available shortly after that, and orders will
be due with payment by Tuesday, January 26th, 2021. Plant pick up will be
arranged at Koenig Field in mid-May. Dates are listed in the survey.
More details about pick-up will follow to everyone who places an order.
You can also check the available plant list, to start thinking about
what you’d like to order. This list is not finalized, and will be
updated following the results of the survey. Thank you for
participating!

spaced out around the field, and attendees are encouraged to participate

Trash Collection Reminder

due to the Memorial Day holiday. The collection day was mistakenly
advertised as May 24 in the April/May newsletter.
Fall Youth Soccer
While we remain in the Green Phase, we will be proceeding with our
Fall Soccer season, with some modifications. We are planning to have
regular weekly practices and games, with limited team sizes and fewer
teams, to allow time between practices and games, and limit the number
of people on the field. We are always welcoming dedicated volunteers to
help coach, and this year is no exception! We are hoping to have more
coaches/parent volunteers to help make sure kids stay distanced as much
as possible, and to help with hygiene and sanitizing of equipment.
Clearances are required for anyone assisting with the kids. The success
of our league depends on our volunteers!
This recreational league is open to boys and girls ages 4-14. We are
planning to start the week of August 24th, and run a 6 week season.
Dates are subject to change based on circumstances. The cost for this
sport is $65. Registration is open NOW until Friday, August 14th. This
is a short registration period, so if you are interested in
participating, please sign up ASAP.
Please register here:
https://go.teamsnap.com/forms/237541
Participants should have cleats, and it is strongly recommended to
bring a practice ball. T-shirts and socks will be provided. Spectators
should bring their own chairs/blankets to sit on, with at least 6 feet
between households. Two spectators may attend per child at both
practices and games. Vulnerable populations should stay home.
Participants and spectators should use proper hygiene, including
hand-washing and use of hand sanitizer. Game balls will be disinfected
between games, with additional disinfecting during games as needed.
Players do not huddle together; no hand slaps. Sportsmanship continues
in a touchless manner. Anyone testing positive for Covid 19, or showing
signs of illness, should stay home.
Edgewood Borough will continue to follow all public health directives
from Allegheny County and the Governor's office. We are going to plan
our summer recreation offerings as we are reasonably able to do so.
Please understand that game-play depends entirely on the guidance
offered by the aforementioned agencies. The borough will explore
modifying or refunding all or part of the registration fees if an
activity's season needs to be cancelled or significantly reduced due to
the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic. We will continue to provide any necessary
updates leading up to, and throughout the season.
Edgewood Soccer Survey 2020
For anyone who has participated in, or would consider participating
in our Soccer League, please fill out
Edgewood Soccer Survey,
as soon as possible.
This will help us so to best serve you with our recreational
opportunities at this time.

UPDATE: T-Ball/Softball registration extended to June 26,
season to start in July
As we have entered the Green Phase of PA's reopening plan, we are
excited to announce that we will be running our summer T-ball and
Softball leagues! To allow interested participants time to sign up, we
are pushing the start date to the week of July 6, and are extending our
registration until June 26.
In keeping with state guidelines, and for the health of all
attending, there will be some modifications, including:
-
Each diamond is managed to not exceed gatherings of 90
-
Games and practices that fall on the same day are
scheduled with at least a 15-min buffer between to prevent overlap
of participants.
-
Game ball(s) are disinfected before and after every game
and practice. Bleachers and benches are disinfected every 4 hours.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own equipment.
-
Players do not huddle together; no hand slaps.
Sportsmanship continues in touchless manner. Batting team may have
half of the team in the dugout, utilizing 6 ft distancing. The other
half is outside the field, keeping 6 ft distancing.
-
Signage to encourage hand washing and healthy practices.
-
2 spectators per person allowed. Vulnerable populations
should stay home.
More about our leagues, and how to sign up:
Softball is open to boys and girls ages 7-13, and Tball is
for boys and girls ages 5-7 (must be 5 by July 6th). Both sports play at
Koenig Field, and meet twice weekly. Softball may have additional
practice days at the beginning of the season. The registration fee is
$50, and you do not need to be an Edgewood resident to play.
Registration is done online through Teamsnap: https://go.teamsnap.com/forms/223919
Edgewood Borough will continue to follow all public health directives
from Allegheny County and the Governor’s office. We are going to plan
our summer recreation offerings as we are reasonably able to do so.
Please understand that game-play depends entirely on the guidance
offered by the aforementioned agencies. The borough will explore
modifying or refunding all or part of the registration fees if an
activity’s season needs to be cancelled or significantly reduced due to
the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic. We will continue to provide any necessary
updates leading up to, and throughout the season.

Starter Plant Sale - SOLD OUT
Due to the overwhelming response, no new orders can be
accepted today. Karen is working to complete the orders that have
already been received. Thank you!
With thanks to Edgewood Borough Council, I am Karen Sandorf,
a small-scale local grower. Through the Borough, I am offering garden
starter plants that you can order from the
attached PDF list,
and using my attached fill-able PDF form. There will be a
contact-less pickup for all pre-paid plant orders at the tennis courts
at Koenig Field this Saturday, May 16, from 9am to 11am.
In addition to my Master Gardener credentials, I've been growing from
seed in this way every late-winter/spring for over 20 years. I
specialize in heirlooms, especially tomatoes, and short season veggies,
including container-friendly veggies. And the list of descriptions show
that I offer more than heirloom varieties. Many may not be found
elsewhere in the area. The plants have been grown in a rich, organic
potting mix in approximately 3-inch pots. No chemicals are used.
Multiple herb plants are in each pot.
To place an order, see the two attachments to this message:
- Peruse and choose from the list of
plant descriptions given
by the seed companies, all of which I've started from seed for
you.
- Download
the fill-able PDF order form and open it in Acrobat Reader.
E-mail it back to me after typing your info at top, and the number
of each plant that you want beside each plant name, then renaming,
using your own name, and saving the PDF. Instructions on how to do
this and prepayment info are given at the top of the PDF form.
Please return your order form to ks4biz@comcast.net at
your earliest convenience, no later than Thursday evening May 14.
Quantities are limited.
- All plants are $3.50/ pot and 3 / $10. Consider combining an
order with a friend if you only want a pot or two. And feel free to
forward this message to fellow gardeners near you!
- You'll be billed online from my squareup.com account, with
payment due upon receipt of the invoice. This is a very safe and
easy way to pay. Please make your online payment no later than 9
a.m. Friday morning, May 15, for Saturday morning's contact-less
pickup.
- Your order will be boxed, labeled with your name and waiting for
you at the tennis court. I'll be there during the pickup time
between 9 and 11 a.m.

Luminary Lighting - A message from the Edgewood Foundation:
Neighbors - first and foremost we hope that you are all healthy and
well!
Friday, April 24th, the Edgewood Foundation will be lighting up Maple
Avenue with luminaries to celebrate the tireless dedication of those on
the frontline of this pandemic. At 8pm, please join us by turning on
your lights and playing music from your homes. If you'd like to put out
your own luminaries please do so!
We need volunteers! We would appreciate help with any of the following:
- Luminary placement
- Luminary lighting.
- Removing bags from sidewalk the following morning (4/25).
Please message the Foundation (through Facebook, @edgewoodfoundation, or
email
info@edgewoodfoundation.org) if you'd like to help. We will be
taking the proper steps to ensure social distancing happens while doing
these tasks!
We hope that you can join us for our lighting of Maple Ave to show
support for our essential workers! We ask that you continue all
preventative measures like wearing a mask, and maintaining a safe
distance while we all show our love and support as a community. You're
all in our thoughts!
Borough Parks Closed
Following the Commonwealth’s decision to close their park facilities,
we made the difficult decision to close Koenig Field for the time being.
The dog run at Dickson Park will also be closed at this time. After
careful consideration, we decided this is best for the wellbeing of the
community to prevent gathering in groups. Signs will be posted at both
locations, and we will provide an update when we are able to re-open
these spaces.
That being said, we do still believe outdoor activity is important.
If you do decide to walk/jog, etc., in public spaces, we urge you to
take all recommended precautions with social distancing. Also, if
sidewalks, etc. are getting crowded, please choose a different route, or
consider going out at a different time. We understand that these actions
may create an inconvenience and ask for your understanding in during
this unprecedented time.
Street Sweeping Starts Wednesday April 1, 2020
Public works will begin sweeping Wednesday April 1, 2020 as
advertised. However, the police department
will not ticket vehicles that remain on the
sweeping route at this time. We greatly appreciate those residents who
take the time to find another parking spot so that we do our best to
clean the streets, but we understand parking is limited while most of us
are staying home. Here's a tip from the police department: use this and
every Wednesday to check on your vehicle and make sure it is locked and
that your valuables are hidden and secure. It's also a good idea to
start your vehicle periodically to avoid a dead battery.
NOTICE: The April 20 council meeting has been cancelled.
NOTICE: The April 6 council meeting has been cancelled.
Yard and Bulk Waste Collection Resumes April 30
Republic Services will resume yard waste and bulk collection starting
April 30. Please continue to tightly tie all trash bags and place them
in containers for pickup.

TRASH NOTICE: Yard Waste and Bulk Item Pickup Suspended
Republic Services will be suspending the collection of Bulk Waste and
Yard Waste effective Thursday April 2, 2020. Do not place anything at
the curb besides household refuse and recycling. Please make every
effort to tie and seal garbage bags as tightly as possible to protect
the safety of our essential trash collectors.
The need to suspend the collection of these items is due to the
tremendous increase (30%) of residential refuse being generated while
the Commonwealth operates under a ‘stay at home’ order. While this may
be inconvenient for some, the need to collect residential refuse is
essential to public health and takes priority over the collection of
other items. Recycling will still be collected on scheduled days. Please
continue to follow cleaning and sorting guidelines to minimize
contamination in the recycling stream.
Neighborhood Paper "Egg Hunt"
In place of our normal egg hunt this year, neighbors are
encouraged to decorate paper eggs, and place them in windows/decorate
doors/place them anywhere people can see as they walk by. Eggs can go up
on Saturday, April 4 and be left up all week, so everyone has a chance
to search for them. Then as you walk around the neighborhood through the
week, you can "hunt" for eggs.
This event is for ALL AGES, and we welcome our neighboring
communities to participate!
*PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW SOCIAL DISTANCING RECOMMENDATIONS
FROM THE CDC. Limit your outdoor "hunt" to immediate family
only, i.e. parent(s) and child(ren) and avoid close personal contact and
groups. Please avoid passing others on sidewalks, and leave adequate
space between one another. If sidewalks get crowded, please choose
another route, or go out at a different time.

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.

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.

to expand its North Side wastewater treatment plant at two public
meetings on Tuesday, January 30, one at 10:30 a.m. and the other at 6:30

Both meetings will take place at ALCOSAN, 3300 Preble Avenue,

both sessions, beginning at 9:30 a.m. for the 10:30 a.m. meeting and at

right thing to do.

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 aim of the RSA is to answer the following questions:
-
What elements of the road may present a safety concern?
- To what extent?
- To which road uses?
- Under what circumstances?
- What opportunities exist to eliminate or mitigate identified
safety concerns?" (RSA Report, 2014; available on on the
Edgewood Borough website)
In a response to the Regent
Square Civic Association's request, Edgewood Borough and Swissvale
Borough actively participated in an RSA, which occurred in April 2014.
