The intersection of Brookline Boulevard and Breining Street, looking west towards Whited Street, shown above and, shown below, the boulevard near Whited Street looking west towards Edgebrook Avenue. The local citizenry and community organizations had been trying for years to get the steel poles removed from the side of the street, citing the dangers of the narrow roadway and the increasing number of vehicle accidents, and deaths. Once again, a petition was circulated and presented to Pittsburgh Mayor David L. Lawrence. The city soon had the steel poles removed.
