Knowing Pittsburgh, the amount of road and bridge construction that goes on there would also concern me, not to mention the condition of the roads.
There's also a ton of roads that are extremely steep (multiple residential streets with an over 30% grade) which can be extremely dangerous in the winter.
It's an interesting choice of a city for this for sure.
- johnward 10y agoI'm sure they chose the city for CMU but I wonder if the driving challenges played a roll. Navigating downtown Pittsburgh is no fun if you aren't familiar with it. I mean it's not really fun if you are familiar either.
- theandrewbailey 10y agoThe roads are getting better. It seems like half the roads are, will be, or have been closed at some point just this year and you can't drive more than 30 minutes without encountering a detour or being taken on one. My 10 minute commute to work is mostly streets that have had ongoing nightly or weekend work for almost a month. The steepest street in the US is in Pittsburgh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canton_Avenue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canton_Avenue
