(WPXI) PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Regional Transit began installing curb extensions at five major bus stops in Downtown Pittsburgh. They’re designed to align the bus stop with the parking lane, allowing buses to stop to pick up and drop off riders without weaving in and out of traffic. PRT said this will give riders more visibility in a protected waiting area and make boarding buses safer and easier, mostly for riders who use mobility devices such as canes, walkers or wheelchairs. The Downtown Pittsburgh locations receiving these upgrades are: Forbes Avenue at Grant Street, Wood Street at Sixth Avenue, Penn Avenue and Stanwix Street, Fort Duquesne Boulevard at Sixth Street and Wood Street at Forbes Avenue which is temporarily on hold due to a non-PRT related project. Installation is scheduled to take place between 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, with each platform taking up to three days to complete. The entire project, which also includes updates to pavement markings and street signage, is expected to take three weeks. The total cost of the project is projected to be around $800,000.

The Allegheny County Health Department announced that additional mosquito samples have tested positive for West Nile Virus, prompting plans to spray seven Pittsburgh neighborhoods on Wednesday. The health department will use Zenivex E20, a pesticide classified by the EPA as low-risk, to treat areas in Point Breeze, Regent Square, Edgewood, Wilkinsburg, East Hills, Homewood, and Highland Park. The spraying aims to reduce the local mosquito population and minimize the risk of human transmission of West Nile Virus. The spraying will be conducted using a truck-mounted Ultra Low Volume (ULV) sprayer from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. In case of rain, the spraying will be rescheduled for the following day, July 31st, during the same hours. There are currently no vaccines to prevent or medications to treat West Nile Virus. Residents who suspect they have the virus are advised to consult a healthcare provider. Residents are encouraged to help reduce mosquito breeding sites by eliminating stagnant water in places like tires, unused swimming pools, and clogged gutters. Reports of mosquito breeding sites can be made to the Allegheny County Health Department.

(AP) Lawyers seeking a temporary restraining order against an immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades say that “Alligator Alcatraz” detainees have been barred from meeting attorneys. They also say that the detainees are being held without any charges and that federal immigration courts have canceled bond hearings. A virtual hearing in federal court in Miami was held Monday over the lawsuit. Critics have condemned the facility as a cruel and inhumane threat to detainees, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other Republican state officials have defended it as part of the state’s aggressive push to support President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Vice President JD Vance has hit his home state to continue promoting the GOP’s sweeping tax-and-border bill. He was in Canton, Ohio, on Monday to talk about the bill’s benefits for American families and businesses. His speech before a crowd at the Metallus Inc. steel mill marks Vance’s second trip this month to sell the package that Republicans call the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” as he becomes its chief promoter on the road. In West Pittston, Pennsylvania, this month, Vance told attendees at an industrial machine shop that they should be able to keep more of their pay in their pockets. The White House sees the new law as a political boon, sending Vance to promote it in swing congressional districts.
