PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR AT FOUR STARTS NOW. GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FOR 4:00. I’M ANDREW STOCKEY AND I’M KELLY SASSO. AS ALWAYS, LET’S GET STARTED WITH A LOOK AT YOUR TOP FOUR STORIES AT 4:00 TODAY. WE ARE ABOUT FOUR HOURS AWAY NOW FROM PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S DEADLINE FOR IRAN TO AGREE TO A CEASEFIRE AND OPEN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. THAT DEADLINE IS 8:00 EASTERN THE PRESIDENT WARNED IF THE DEMAND IS NOT MET, THAT, QUOTE, A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT. NEVER TO BE BROUGHT BACK AGAIN. THE FIRST MAN LIKELY HEAR HIS NAME CALLED IN THE NFL DRAFT WILL NOT BE IN ATTENDANCE. ESPN REPORTS FERNANDO MENDOZA WILL BE STAYING HOME IN MIAMI. SOURCES SAY PLANS TO CELEBRATE THAT NIGHT AT HOME WITH HIS FAMILY. AND CHECK THIS OUT. AS OF TODAY, THE FOUNTAIN IS BACK ON AT POINT STATE PARK. LOOKS GOOD. IT HAS BEEN OFF FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. THEY OPENED IT TODAY WITH A CEREMONY MARKING ALL THE NEW RENOVATIONS. THEY SPENT ABOUT $3.4 MILLION REHABBING THE FOUNTAIN AND POINT STATE PARK JUST IN TIME FOR THE DRAFT, AND PARKING METER. PRICES WILL GO UP DURING DRAFT WEEKEND. PITTSBURGH CITY COUNCIL PASSED THAT BILL TODAY WILL RAISE PRICES TO $5 FOR SPOTS DOWNTOWN AND ON THE NORTH SHORE. AFTERNOON. TIME NOW FOR PITTSBURGH’S ACTION WEATHER. AND DO NOT LET THE SUNSHINE FOOL YOU. YEAH. METEOROLOGIST BRIAN JUNIOR HERE WITH A LOOK AT THE FORECAST. WE GOT THE SUN TODAY. BUT ALSO WE’RE GOING TO HAVE SOME WARMER WEATHER NOW TO GO WITH IT FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. YEAH, WE JUST HAVE TO GET THROUGH TONIGHT AND THEN WE START WARMING UP TOMORROW AFTERNOON. IN FACT, WE’LL SEE ABOUT A 20 DEGREE DIFFERENCE THIS TIME TOMORROW COMPARED TO WHAT WE’VE SEEN TODAY. SO WE’RE HEADING THERE. WE JUST HAVE TO GET THROUGH TONIGHT. WE DO HAVE ANOTHER COLD NIGHT IN STORE FOR US. AND WE DO, IN FACT EVEN HAVE A FREEZE WARNING THAT IS IN EFFECT SOUTH OF THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH AS WELL. WE’RE WAKING UP IN THE 20S TOMORROW MORNING. SO YEAH, DEFINITELY BUNDLE UP HEADING OUT THE DOOR. BUT TOMORROW IS ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHERE YOU MAY SHED THE LAYERS. AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON, WE’LL SEE LOTS OF SUNSHINE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. AND THOSE WARMER TEMPERATURES ARE ON THE WAY NORTH TO THE CITY. WE’RE STILL IN THE 30S ACROSS THE BOARD, EVEN WHEN ROSSVILLE 3937 IN BUTLER, FRANKLIN’S JUST ABOVE FREEZING AT 33, MORGANTOWN IS THE WARM SPOT AT 45. OUR AVERAGE HIGH, BY THE WAY, IS ABOUT 59, SO WE’RE NOWHERE CLOSE TO WHERE WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BE. BETTER TOMORROW. AFTER THE COLD START AT 6170 HERE ON THURSDAY. MID 70S FRIDAY BEFORE RAIN CHANCES GET HERE LATE. WE ARE GOING TO SEE THE 80S BEFORE WE GET OUR NEXT WIDESPREAD RAIN CHANCE AS WELL HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK. OH, I’D LOVE TO HEAR THAT. FINALLY, APRIL MOVING TOWARDS MAY. YES. STARTING TO FEEL MORE LIKE ACTUAL 80S. FEELS LIKE SUMMER AT THAT POINT. YEAH, A NICE WARM UP IS COMING. SOUNDS GREAT. ALL RIGHT, BRIAN, WE’LL SEE YOU HERE IN JUST A LITTLE BIT. FOR NOW, WE WANT TO TURN BACK TO THE WAR IN IRAN IS HERE JUST HOURS AWAY FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP’S DEADLINE FOR THE IRANIANS TO COME TO A DEAL. THAT DEADLINE AT 8:00 EASTERN TIME TONIGHT. AND THE PRESIDENT IS THREATENING TO ELIMINATE, QUOTE, A WHOLE CIVILIZATION IF THEY DON’T REACH A DEAL. ABC’S KAREN TRAVERS HAS MORE ON THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE AND WHERE TALKS STAND RIGHT NOW. JUST HOURS REMAIN UNTIL PRESIDENT TRUMP’S 8 P.M. EASTERN DEADLINE FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL AND REOPEN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. THIS MORNING, THE PRESIDENT ISSUING AN ALARMING THREAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, WRITING A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT, NEVER TO BE BROUGHT BACK AGAIN. I DON’T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN, BUT IRAN HAS BEEN A HORRIBLE ACTOR ON THE WORLD STAGE FOR THE BETTER PART OF 50 YEARS, AND FOR THEM TO BE FINALLY TAKEN TO TASK. I DON’T THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE DISAGREE WITH THAT. THE PROBLEM IS THE PRESIDENT’S RHETORIC MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DISCERN WHAT EXACTLY THE ENDGAME IS. IRAN REMAINS DEFIANT, THREATENING TO DEPRIVE THE U.S. AND ITS ALLIES OF THE REGION’S OIL AND GAS FOR YEARS. IF PRESIDENT TRUMP FOLLOWS THROUGH WITH HIS VOW TO STRIKE ENERGY AND CIVILIAN INFRASTRUCTURE, SOME IRANIANS GATHERING ON BRIDGES AND AROUND POWER PLANTS TO FORM HUMAN CHAINS. THE PRESIDENT SAID ON SOCIAL MEDIA, COMING AFTER U.S. STRIKES OVERNIGHT ON MILITARY TARGETS ON KHARG ISLAND, IRAN’S MAIN OIL EXPORT TERMINAL. AN IRANIAN NEWS AGENCY REPORTED LITTLE DAMAGE FROM THE BOMBING AHEAD OF THE PRESIDENT’S 8 P.M. EASTERN DEADLINE. ISRAEL, CONFIRMING IT HAS ALREADY STRUCK SOME BRIDGES AND RAILWAYS IN IRAN. PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU SAYING IRAN WAS USING THE BRIDGES AND RAILS TO TRANSPORT WEAPONS. WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY CAROLINE LEAVITT REITERATING THAT IRAN HAS UNTIL 8 P.M. EASTERN, TO, QUOTE, MEET THE MOMENT AND MAKE A DEAL. LEAVITT SAYING ONLY THE PRESIDENT KNOWS WHERE THINGS STAND AND WHAT HE WILL DO. KAREN TRAVERS, ABC NEWS, THE WHITE HOUSE. ALSO TODAY, MILITIA GROUP IN IRAQ SAID IT WOULD RELEASE A KIDNAPED AMERICAN. SHELLY KITTLESON WAS TAKEN LAST TUESDAY IN BAGHDAD. SHE IS A JOURNALIST WHO CONTRIBUTES TO THE AL-MONITOR NEWS ORGANIZATION. ONE SOURCE SAYS U.S. GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS KNEW A PRO-IRAN GROUP WAS PLANNING TO KIDNAP HER, AND THEY WARNED HER. THAT GROUP IS SAYING IT WILL RELEASE KITTLESON SO LONG AS SHE AGREES TO LEAVE IRAQ IMMEDIATELY. BACK HERE, OUR TWO ALARM FIRE DOING DAMAGE TO A HOME IN ELIZABETH TOWNSHIP, SKY 4 PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS CHOPPER SHOWING THE SCENE LATE THIS MORNING ALONG ROY STREET. YOU CAN SEE THE WINDOWS BLOWN OUT AND DAMAGE TO PARTS OF THE ROOF. DISPATCH TELLS US NOBODY WAS HURT HERE. THE ALLEGHENY COUNTY FIRE MARSHAL IS INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE. THE MEDICAL EXAMINER IDENTIFIED THE WOMAN WHOSE BODY WAS FOUND IN PITTSBURGH’S HOMEWOOD NORTH NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY SAY SHE WAS 29 YEARS OLD. TALISA MILLER. HER BODY WAS FOUND OUTSIDE ON FIELDING WAY YESTERDAY EVENING. THE MEDICAL EXAMINER WILL NOW DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND MANNER OF DEATH. A MAN IS RECOVERING THIS ARM IN WILKINSBURG. POLICE FOUND HIM ON GLEN AVENUE AT ABOUT 1130 LAST NIGHT. THEY SAY HE IS NOW STABLE AT THE HOSPITAL. ALLEGHENY COUNTY POLICE ARE ASKING ANYONE WITH INFORMATION TO REACH OUT. JUST 16 DAYS UNTIL THE NFL DRAFT ARRIVES HERE IN PITTSBURGH. HERE’S A SITE THAT PEOPLE IN PITTSBURGH WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO SEE. TAKE A LOOK. THE FOUNTAIN AT POINT STATE PARK IS NOW BACK ON A LARGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. NOW COMPLETE. LOOKS SO GOOD, ESPECIALLY WITH THE BLUE SKIES THERE. PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER YASMIN RODRIGUEZ WAS AT THAT CEREMONY TODAY. YASMIN, THIS IS SUCH A CROWN JEWEL OF OUR CITY. EVERYBODY OUT THERE TODAY HAD TO BE SO HAPPY TO FINALLY SEE IT BACK ON. KELLY THAT’S RIGHT. AND THE WORD ICONIC WAS USED SO MUCH TO DESCRIBE THIS FOUNTAIN. I MEAN, LOOK AT IT. ICONIC. AND OF COURSE THE TIMING COULDN’T BE PERFECT WITH THE NFL DRAFT COMING IN JUST A FEW WEEKS. NOW IT WAS BACK IN MAY OF LAST YEAR THAT OFFICIALS ANNOUNCED CONSTRUCTION WOULD BE UNDERWAY AT THE FOUNTAIN, AS THE CITY PREPARED TO HOST THE DRAFT. THAT SAME DECEMBER, THE SHAPIRO ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCED THE FIRST PHASE OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS HAD ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED MONTHS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. THIS $3.4 MILLION PROJECT INCLUDED UPGRADING TO THE FOUNTAIN LIGHTING, REPAIRING WALKWAYS, IMPROVING LANDSCAPING AND ADDING ON SITE UTILITIES, AND THE EXCITEMENT WAS ON DISPLAY THIS AFTERNOON AS STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OFFICIALS GATHERED TO TURN THAT FOUNTAIN BACK ON. AND AS THE CITY PREPARES TO HOST HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, THE TIMING COULD NOT BE BETTER BECAUSE IT IS THE GATEWAY TO OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. IT’S THE GATEWAY TO DOWNTOWN. WHEN VISITORS COME THROUGH THAT TUNNEL, THEY’RE GOING TO SEE THIS FIRST. AND GREAT TO SEE THE FOUNTAIN BACK ON HERE IN PITTSBURGH. SO, YASMIN, ARE THERE OTHER PROJECTS OPENING AHEAD OF THE NFL DRAFT? ANDREW. YEAH, THERE ARE. SO. SHE DID MENTION THAT WE COULD EXPECT MORE RIBBON CUTTINGS, ARTS LANDING AND OF COURSE MARKET SQUARE ARE SET TO OPEN, BUT NO SPECIFIC DATES WERE GIVEN JUST YET. BUT WE CAN ANTICIPATE THEY WILL BE IN THE NEXT WEEK COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY ON THE NORTH SHORE. YASMIN RODRIGUEZ, PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR, WILL LOOK FORWARD TO ALL OF THAT. YASMIN, THANK YOU. NOW TO AN UPDATE. LOOK AT THE DRAFT STAGE FOR SHOWING US THE PROGRESS JUST OUTSIDE ACRISURE STADIUM AS THE NEXT PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION NOW BEGINS. THE ARCHES ARE NOW IN PLACE WITH THE TOP OF THAT STRUCTURE. MEANTIME, WE TOLD YOU ABOUT THE ORDINANCE BEFORE THE OFFICIAL PARKING METER COSTS ARE GOING UP AHEAD OF THE NFL DRAFT. YEAH. AND REPORTER KALEA GUNDERSON IS JOINING US LIVE NOW FROM THE NORTH SHORE. KAYLEE, HOW MUCH MORE ARE THEY GOING TO BE CHARGING PEOPLE NOW? WELL, KELLY. ANDREW. BEGINNING APRIL 22ND AHEAD OF THE NFL DRAFT, ALL METERED PARKING SPOTS DOWNTOWN AND HERE ON THE NORTH SIDE WILL BE GOING UP. THAT MEANS THAT A SPOT LIKE THIS ONE HERE ALONG RIDGE AVENUE ON THE NORTH SIDE, THAT TYPICALLY COST $1.50 PER HOUR, WILL MORE THAN TRIPLE IN SIZE TO $5 PER HOUR. NOW, THIS ORDINANCE WAS PASSED TODAY AND IT WILL IMPACT STREETS IN DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH, PARTS OF THE NORTH SIDE. AND THEN OF COURSE, THE MAIN STREETS OUTSIDE OF THE NORTH SHORE DRAFT ZONE. COUNCILPERSON BOBBY WILSON SAYS IT WILL HOPEFULLY BENEFIT NORTH SIDE RESIDENTS WHOSE NEIGHBORHOODS WILL BE PACKED WITH OUT OF TOWN VISITORS AND HELP WITH ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS BY OFFSETTING THE COST OF STAFFING UP THE CITY’S PARKING ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS FOR THAT WEEKEND. WE WANT TO INCREASE ENFORCEMENT DURING THAT TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT RESIDENTS WHO ARE IN NEIGHBORHOODS WHO HAVE A PERMIT, THAT THEY ARE NOT SEEING THEIR WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD BEING OVERRUN BY CARS FROM OUTSIDERS COMING INTO PITTSBURGH, AND ALSO INCREASE ENFORCEMENT AT THE METERS, BECAUSE THEY’RE GOING TO BE IN SUCH HIGH DEMAND. THIS ORDINANCE ALSO ALLOWS FOR VIOLATORS OF THE PARKING RULES TO BE HIT WITH A $120 FINE. IF THEY VIOLATE THEM, THAT’S THE SAME FINE THAT APPLIES ON STEELERS GAME DAYS. KELLY. ANDREW. ALL RIGHT. SO THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT THAT FINE. IT’S PRETTY STIFF. BUT HOW SERIOUS ARE THEY GOING TO BE ABOUT VIOLATORS. WOULD THEY BE WILLING TO GO AS FAR AS TO TOW THESE CARS. WILSON SAYS RIGHT NOW THAT’S NOT THE PLAN. BUT VIOLATORS WILL GET A TICKET OR PERHAPS MORE THAN ONE TICKET IN THE MAIL IF THEY BREAK THE RULES COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY TONIGHT ON THE NORTH SIDE KALEA GUNDERSON PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR. GOT TO STAY ON TOP OF IT. KELLY, THANKS SO MUCH. I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO THIS. A FIRE THAT DID SOME DAMAGE TO GENEVA COLLEGE IN BEAVER FALLS LAST NIGHT. A SECURITY GUARD SAW THICK BLACK SMOKE IN WRAP. TECHNICAL DESIGN CENTER CREWS WENT IN AND FOUND A FIRE INVOLVING A WOOD CABINET THAT EXTENDED INTO THE CEILING. THAT CAUSED SIGNIFICANT HEAT AND SMOKE DAMAGE THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING. CREWS SAY THEY WERE ABLE TO QUICKLY EXTINGUISH THE FIRE, AND THEY TELL US NOBODY WAS HURT. TODAY, A COALITION OF DEMOCRATS AT THE WESTMORELAND COUNTY COURTHOUSE TO PROTEST THE DECISION TO REJECT REQUESTS FOR BALLOT DROP BOXES. EARLIER THIS YEAR, REPUBLICAN COMMISSIONERS REJECTED THE INSTALLATION AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS, SAYING THEY ARE NOT JUSTIFIED. THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY, INCREASES ACCESS TO ELECTIONS ALLEGHENY RIVER. THEY DON’T JUST HAVE DROP BOXES, THEY HAVE ENTIRE SATELLITE LOCATIONS WHERE PEOPLE CAN RETURN THEIR BALLOTS. AND I THINK THAT IS REALLY INDICATIVE OF HOW A COUNTY GOVERNMENT, HOW A BOARD OF ELECTIONS VALUES WHAT VOTERS BRING TO THE TABLE. WESTMORELAND COUNTY HAD BALLOT DROP BOXES FOR FOUR YEARS WITH NO EVIDENCE OF TAMPERING, WRONGDOING, ABUSE OR FRAUD. WE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS AND WE CAN DO IT AGAIN SUCCESSFULLY. REPUBLICAN COMMISSIONER SEAN CURTIS SAYS AFTER USE DURING THE PANDEMIC, IT BECAME CLEAR THAT, QUOTE, THAT THE PUBLIC DID NOT UTILIZE THEM TO A SIGNIFICANT DEGREE, END QUOTE. AND COMMISSIONER DOUG CHU CITED DIFFICULTY IN STAFFING REGISTRARS IN THE ELECTION BUREAU, WHI
