\t\tEditorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\tPittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor took to the community with a shovel in hand Sunday to help clear driveways and sidewalks for residents as snow continued to fall throughout the region. In a post on Facebook, O’Connor was in the East End helping a neighbor clear their sidewalk. The newly-elected mayor lent a helping hand as over 150 “Snow Angels” aided residents in battling large accumulations of snowfall. “We have over 150 Snow Angels out today – including me,” O’Connor said in the post. “Thank you to all the volunteers helping the City care for our residents in need.”The Snow Angels Program pairs older residents and people with disabilities with nearby neighbors to assist with snow removal on their sidewalks and walkways, the city of Pittsburgh’s website said. “Along with fostering stronger community relationships and relieving some of the stress that comes from a heavy snowfall or freeze, Snow Angels make our sidewalks safer for those who are outside during winter weather like postal workers, firefighters, police officers, and other neighbors,” the website said. To request a volunteer, you must be at least 62-years-old or be unable to perform snow removal due to physical mobility impairments. You must live within city limits and “must lack the resources (financial, family, and\/or friends nearby) to assist with snow removal.” For more information, visit the city’s website here: Snow Angels Program Download the WTAE app to stay connected with breaking news.
