Pittsburgh City Council heard testimony from experts on the city’s ambitious, thrice-redrafted Climate Action Plan Tuesday.

Currently the plan includes reducing Pittsburgh’s greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050, cutting transportation emissions in half by 2030 and divesting the city’s pension fund from fossil fuels. 

Pittsburgh’s controversial Stephen Foster Memorial was taken down from its perch in Oakland early Thursday morning. But the previous night, with the help of the Task Force on Women in Public Art, city residents had their own conversation about who should replace the noted song smith on his pedestal.
