Crews begin work in Pittsburgh’s Chartiers neighborhood to calm traffic

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The City of Pittsburgh is beginning work in the Chartiers neighborhood to calm traffic.
The plan involves multiple measures spanning multiple streets.
The work to slow drivers down is already beginning on Chartiers Avenue. There are now speed tables on parts of the road, which were installed this week.
Crews are expected to come in next week to Chartiers Avenue and put up roadway markings on the speed tables and signage.
Jim Cermak is keeping the shirt-pressing alive at Quality Dry Cleaners nearby.
“I’m the second owner. I bought it off the original owner,” he said.
He’s owned the 64-year-old shop since 1997. Cermak’s seen a lot, and some of it is “pressing” him.
“[I’ve seen] people running through red lights, speeding, blowing horns,” he said.
And if you think his gripes are just limited to the street out his window, you’d be wrong.
“It makes me mad when people drive through my driveway,” he said. “I don’t want anyone to get hit.”
These concerns on Chartiers Avenue are prompting the City of Pittsburgh to do some traffic calming. A study found 89% of drivers on Chartiers go over the 25-mile-an-hour speed limit.
“If you stand here for five minutes, you’ll see that,” Cermak said.
The City says Main Street will have some painted bump-outs as well as what it calls a pedestrian refuge on Suter Street while it adds to the one on Middletown Road.
“I think it’s a positive thing,” neighbor Krystal Pate said. “There are a lot of children and residents in the area, so it’s best that people slow down.”
It’s all expected to improve pedestrian safety, which is important with a school nearby.
Cermak hopes it brings more to the area surrounding the business he’s owned for nearly 30 years.
“We own good thoroughfare from Kennedy down to Pittsburgh in the morning and the evenings,” Cermak said. “There’s plenty of room for growth here.”

Why Detroit Lion Giovanni Manu’s first NFL game was so special
Detroit Lion Giovanni Manu played in his first NFL game in August, 2024. That game was special because it was a chance to make his parents proud.
The final Detroit Lions preseason game has arrived.
The Lions take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Ford Field on Saturday afternoon in the final exhibition game of the preseason. It is the final chance for the coaching staff and front office to determine who will make the opening day 53-man roster for the season opener against the Rams in 15 days.

There aren’t many spots left up for grabs on the Lions’ contending-level roster, a testament to the roster overhaul in the last three seasons, but Campbell said earlier this week there were around a half-dozen slots still open. The Lions’ starters will rest, allowing young players and the depth pieces to fight for those spots. Here’s Dave Birkett’s prediction of what the 53-man roster may look like by the deadline at 4 p.m. on Tuesday if you are curious.

This is the only preseason game this year at Ford Field and kicks off at 1 p.m. The game will be aired on Fox 2 in Detroit (WJBK) and streamed on NFL+ and Fubo (free trial) and the 97.1 WXYT-FM radio airwaves.

Detroit Lions vs. Pittsburgh Steelers preseason live updates, highlights
The Lions have had no success on offense in the first half with Hendon Hooker running the show. The Lions went three-and-out again after a third-down sack sank the drive again. This time, left tackle Giovanni Manu was beaten off the edge, forcing Hooker to step up into edge rusher Julius Welschof, who beat center Kingsley Eguakun in the middle. The Lions have seven net yards after four possessions with two first downs and are 2/6 on third-down conversion attempts. The Lions have given up four sacks and Hooker has struggled to find a rhythm navigating the collapsing pocket.
The Steelers quickly turned the fumble into a touchdown to double up the Lions early. Justin Fields came into the game for the second series to replace Russell Wilson under center. The Steelers kept the ball on the ground for all but one play, methodically moving the ball through Lions territory outside of a 22-yard Fields completion to tight end MyCole Pruitt, who slipped behind linebacker Ty Summers while Fields was moving outside of the pocket. After a holding call against defensive tackle Brodric Martin on the goal line, Perine stuffed it home on a read option from a yard out.
Hendon Hooker, making his home debut with the Lions, got the start over Nate Sudfeld to lead the Lions backup offense, but the first possession did not go as planned. The Lions picked up one first down on a nice extended play by Hooker, finding tight end Shane Zylstra, but took three straight sacks on the next set of downs, including a strip sack on third down, giving the ball to Pittsburgh at Detroit’s 35. Herbig got around starting right tackle Colby Sorsdal and slapped Hooker’s arm while he was cocking to throw, jarring it loose.
The Steelers starting offense got things started with a 60-yard touchdown drive lasting just over two minutes. Starting quarterback Russell Wilson converted a 3rd-and-11 with a 32 yard gain on a flag route to George Pickens, who easily separated from corner Essang Bassey. Two plays later, Cordarrelle Patterson took an off-tackle run to the left and made Brandon Joseph miss for the big touchdown run.
Pregame notes
The Lions will roll with the quarterback duo of Nate Sudfeld and Hendon Hooker as the two continue to battle for the backup spot behind Jared Goff. Campbell said Tuesday the last preseason game is critical for Hooker, who will be playing in his third NFL game ever and had to leave the first preseason game early.
“We want to get (Hooker) a real good look,” Campbell said. “We’d love to get him a lot of reps this week. I think the idea would be, you’d love to start him this week. I’d like to start him, and then it’s just a matter of how much does he play? Is it a couple of series and Nate goes in and then he’s back? Or is it a quarter or is it a half? But he’s going to get a really good look.”

Rookie Sione Vaki has been one of the early stars of the first two preseason games as a receiving option out of the backfield and should handle plenty of work against Pittsburgh along with Craig Reynolds, Zonovan Knight and Jermar Jefferson. The depth options at receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Kalif Raymond are fighting for a spot and the last game will determine who makes it between options like Donovan Peoples-Jones, Isaiah Williams and Daurice Fountain. The depth pieces on the offensive line, particularly the interior, will also be under a close look to find the last backup for Detroit’s top unit.
On defense, the main competition is at edge rusher and in the secondary. The final safety spot likely comes down to C.J. Moore and Brandon Joseph while Khalil Dorsey, Kindle Vildor and Steven Gilmore fight for a spot at cornerback. Isaac Ukwu, Mitchell Agude and Mathieu Betts will all get extensive playing time at edge to determine the final backups on the defensive line.
