It’s been closed to vehicular traffic for several years, but a neighborhood group wants to see a Schenley Park road reopened to automobiles. <\/p>\n
City Council has given preliminary approval to schedule a public hearing on reopening Serpentine Drive to cars.<\/p>\n
The winding road, a key part of the Vintage Grand Prix course each year, has been off limits to automobiles beyond that because of structural problems along a stretch of the wall. <\/p>\n
Only bicyclists and pedestrians have been allowed to use it.<\/p>\n
But now the Squirrel Hill Historical Society wants to have it reopened, successfully submitting a petition to council. <\/p>\n
The Society says the road was always intended to be a driving road, and that closing it to cars after a $2.5 million-dollar repair job doesn’t make sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s been closed to vehicular traffic for several years, but a neighborhood group wants to see a Schenley…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":197126,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[6748,2709,7814,7700,73,75,74,35098],"class_list":["post-197125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-automobile","tag-driving","tag-oakland","tag-park","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-schenley-park"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197125"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197125\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/197126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
