These steps are in good condition, and form a vital link between Josephine Street and Mary Street on Pittsburgh’s South Side Slopes.
These steps are part of where 30th Street becomes a paper street. I am not sure why they are listed in the city database from Josephine Street to Mary Street instead of the other way around. Most steps are listed from their bottom to their top, unlike these from their top to their bottom.
If you visit these steps please be careful. Mary Street has little traffic and is safe to walk on. However, this section of Josephine Street is horrible to walk on. In most places it only has a sidewalk on one side of the street and there are cars parked on the sidewalk all along this stretch. The only option is to wait until there are no cars coming and walk around the cars in 40 mile-an-hour traffic.
There is a nice view from these steps.
