PITTSBURGH —

Several streets in Pittsburgh’s East Liberty neighborhood are virtually untouched nearly a week after a massive winter storm.

Stephanie Jordan lives on the corner of Paulson Avenue and Rapidan Way. Paulson has been plowed a couple of times, but Rapidan hasn’t been touched at all. Her garage is on Rapidan.

“We have three important doctors’ appointments next week, and so that’s why I’m calling,” Jordan said. “The first one is on Monday, which is an important one for myself. And then I have a cousin, as I said, that lives with me, that has special needs, and she has two appointments. We’ve been waiting for those appointments for more than three months,” she said.

Jordan said streets like Rapidan Way and Vanilla Way are often overlooked when snow falls. She’s lived in her home her entire life — 74 years.

“We’ve had smaller snow amounts, and so I’ve been able to get out,” Jordan said. “But this time I can’t do it. I mean, just the middle of the road is higher than the bottom of my car, so I’m pretty much stuck. And at my age, I don’t want to try to shovel myself out.”

Jordan said she has contacted 311 and multiple city offices without success. She said she waited before reaching out to Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 because she understands crews are prioritizing main roads.

“We do exist down here,” Jordan said. “You know, it is a tertiary road, but it needs to be plowed, too. And I think after almost a week, it’s time that somebody paid attention to this road.”

The mayor’s office said 311 calls remain backlogged and that dozens of city plows and contracted snow removal crews are still working across Pittsburgh.

Jordan said she hopes attention from Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 will help speed up the response.
