I have one thing for the Planning Sustainability and Inclusion Committee on the agenda tonight.

Not related to my committee, but before I forget, the Dormont Free Pantry will reopen tomorrow night from six to seven, finally. That's it for me. Thank you. Bobby Supplies and Public Works. We had a discussion last week about sidewalk issues and the uh concrete that is deteriorating a few different parts of the borough, and uh we're still looking into that and working on it.
