Pittsburgh-area pups, Gertie and Good Girl, competing in the Puppy Bowl
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — It’s the other big game. Only these players are much cuter.
While football players are competing in the Super Bowl right here on KDKA on Feb. 11, two Pittsburgh-area dogs will be competing in the Puppy Bowl.
Meet Gertie and Good Girl.
They are both rescue dogs who found their forever homes through local rescue group, Paws Across Pittsburgh.
Gertie will be playing on Team Ruff and Good Girl is on Team Fluff. The teams compete for the “Lombarky Trophy.”
There are 131 adoptable puppies from 73 shelters and rescues playing in Puppy Bowl XX.
While Gertie and Good Girl have both found loving homes, Paws Across Pittsburgh says they have more puppies and kittens who want to be your forever companion.

This year marks 20 years of the Puppy Bowl. To mark the important anniversary, four previous Puppy Bowl players will return to the game to be inducted into the all-new Puppy Bowl Hall of Fame.
At least two other dogs have represented Pittsburgh in previous Puppy Bowls.
Dak, a Treeing Walker Coonhound pup, competed in 2018, and Kenny, a mixed breed, played in 2020.

Some big changes are coming to Oakland for Pittsburgh Regional Transit riders, all of which include closures, construction, and the future of safety.
Riders who typically catch the bus on Fifth Avenue in Oakland should start preparing because starting Sunday, Pittsburgh Regional Transit says the bus lane on Fifth Avenue will be permanently retired.
It’s a part of their University Line project, designed to create a more reliable connection between Downtown, Uptown, and Oakland.
But without the Fifth Avenue bus lane, traffic is shifting.
“All of our bus operational movements are going to be moving over here to Forbes Avenue,” said Amy Silbermann, chief development officer with Pittsburgh Regional Transit.
For riders, this means big changes.
Seventeen outbound bus stops along Fifth Avenue will be eliminated, 9 bus routes will be rerouted, and all outbound buses will travel on Forbes with general traffic.
“Forbes Avenue is going to be more congested. We will have more buses than today,” Silbermann noted.
While the closure is permanent, the construction and renovation will be temporary, and part of a much bigger plan.
“Ultimately, that lane is going to turn into a two-way protected bicycle facility. All buses will remain on Forbes Avenue outbound for as long as we know,” Silbermann said.
This change will now leave Forbes as the main bus corridor.
“Ultimately, one lane on Forbes Avenue is going to become a bus-only lane. However, that’s not happening until later next year.”
In the meantime, PRT says it’s working with the city and Port Authority police to keep traffic moving. The entire project is expected to be completed by 2027.
“This is not about making buses rapid. This is about making buses move more reliably and continuously throughout the corridor,” Silbermann said. “Today, they get very bunched up because of the conditions. Once they get bunched up, they end up with big gaps in service, where you may wait a really long time and then get on a really overcrowded bus.”
PRT says they will have staff at select bus stops to help navigate through this transition.
