Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Sunday, November 16, 2025.

We’ve just learned about a traffic incident overnight in East Liberty. A Pittsburgh police vehicle responding to a call was involved in a crash near East Liberty Boulevard and North Highland Avenue. Thankfully, both officers were unharmed, and the civilian driver was treated at the scene. The intersection was blocked off for hours, so drivers in the area should expect lingering delays this morning. Authorities are investigating the situation, and we’ll bring you more if there are updates.

From city hall, the budget debate is heating up. Mayor Ed Gainey's final budget faces pushback from Pittsburgh City Council, who are scrutinizing a proposed six million dollar comprehensive plan. City Controller Rachael Heisler has warned that the city is spending more than it’s bringing in, hinting at tough choices ahead. Affordable housing, water infrastructure, and emergency services remain hot topics, with the city recently directing more than one point seven million to reduce community violence.

The weather today is classic November. Overnight rain has left the roads damp, and we’re expecting intermittent showers into the afternoon. Highs will reach the upper forties, so bundle up if you’re heading out to any events. Winds will kick up later today, making the air feel even chillier near the rivers and parks.

Let’s look at the latest in Pittsburgh’s neighborhoods. The Monongahela Incline is still closed for repairs after last week’s breakdown that stranded two dozen passengers. Pittsburgh Regional Transit says work will continue through next week, so expect heavier foot traffic around Station Square and Mount Washington. On the roadways, parkway closures are planned for upcoming bridge work—particularly near Commercial Street eastbound.

New openings and closings on the business front include the Eat’n Park on McKnight Road, which will soon be the only location in the area after the neighboring site closed this week, and local pharmacies have seen surging traffic as more Pittsburgers switch prescriptions following national pharmacy closures.

For those searching for new homes, real estate activity continues to trend steady. Recent sales include a property on Freeport Road that went for around four hundred seventy thousand dollars. Employment news brings a boost for local journalists—after a long wait, striking workers at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette celebrated a big legal win earlier this week.

Turning to cultural happenings, thousands will pack downtown for Light Up Night, where the band The Calling will headline at Market Square tonight. In Lawrenceville, Attack Theatre hosts a free, interactive performance this afternoon designed for families and kids. And in South Park, residents can take part in a community glass recycling drive at the Ice Rink parking lot today and next Saturday for America Recycles Day.

In local schools and sports, Laurel High’s football team pulled off a dramatic win Friday, heading to the WPIAL title game for the first time since 1989. On the ice, our Pittsburgh Penguins take on the Nashville Predators today in Stockholm, looking to snap a five-game losing streak. Pitt women’s basketball hosts Scranton at the Petersen Events Center this afternoon for a first-ever matchup.

On the crime and safety front, city officials report a quiet Saturday night, with no major incidents except for a concern about hateful flyers distributed around nearby neighborhoods. Police urge anyone who sees suspicious materials to report them immediately.

The latest health snapshot for our region shows the average age for first-time moms in Allegheny County is now just above thirty-one, reflecting bigger shifts in family life across the city.

And to end on a heartwarming note, we salute the volunteers at South Park who gathered yesterday morning to clean up trails and plant new trees, building community spirit and making our outdoor spaces safer for all.
