Without more state funding, Pittsburgh Regional Transit will cut up to 35% of its fixed-route service. Dozens of bus routes would be eliminated, fares would rise, and service would end after 11 pm. Council has now urged the governor and state lawmakers to help. Two council members said the $117 million request should be just the start.

Minimum lot sizes in Pittsburgh's residential zones range up to 8,000 square feet. This week, council advanced a change shrinking them in every zone, 5 to 1 with two abstentions. It would also drop the minimum unit size for apartments and condos. Still, some questioned voting right after the severe storm and whether zoning changes should come all at once.

A floating public venue could soon dock at Allegheny Landing Park on the North Shore, near PNC Park. Council has recommended Riverlife's request to dock the barge there. Riverlife says it'll host primarily free activities and events, and it's now choosing a concession vendor. The barge is expected to open next month.
