Among the worst maintained steps in Pittsburgh are those on grade, steps not elevated from the ground. These steps fall into the category of being the worst in Pittsburgh. Despite being at sidewalk level, in many cases these steps are impassable. They are broken, overgrown, and in some places collapsing down the hillside. Where there are railings they are badly bent, and add little safety to these steps.
Although there are few houses on O’hern street, if repaired these steps could form a useful transportation link connecting Perrysville Avenue to the Propel School at the bottom of the hill.
