I’m not really feeling it about these steps. As a guy who has climbed a lot of steps, these do not feel like city steps. They are made out of lower quality wood, are of a different construction, and are steeper than any city steps I have climbed. I think that these are privately built steps.
On the other hand, the steep strip of land they cross is owned by the city. I am not sure what to think.
What I can say is that these steps serve perhaps only one, or maybe only two homes. If you want to do a comprehensive survey of all the steps in Pittsburgh, go have a visit, but the only place these steps take you to is someone’s front porch.
