The monument is located at the intersection of Lowrie and Ley street in Troy Hill. This is the second time it has been hit.
Troy Hill WWI monument struck By Alyse Horn On Friday, January 17, due to incliment weather, a motorist slid and crashed into the World War I monument in Troy Hill. The monument broke into several different bits, but is in the process of being repaired and returned to its resting place at Lowrie and Ley streets. Matt Stidle, chairman of the Troy Hill Citizens board, said the location issue of the monument is troublesome,

but “its one-of-a-kind location is another of those quirks that make Troy Hill unique.” “In my understanding, the City has determined that it is best to keep it where it is for now, [and] raised to prevent further damage,” Stidle said. “I respect that decision.” This is the second time the monument has been hit. In February 2010, a drunk driver in a minivan hit the monument, knocking it 10 feet off its base.

Bill Pudeto was sworn in as the 60th Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh at 1:50 p.m. on January 6 in Heinz Hall, 600 Penn Ave. In his inaugural address, Mayor Peduto said he would use this momentum and turn it into an opportunity of reform. “It is now our moment, our opportunity, our duty to create the next Pittsburgh,” Peduto said. As the new mayor, Peduto listed three objectives that he will be focusing on during his time in office: accountability, responsibility and sustainability. Peduto said under accountability he wants to be as open as possible with the people of
Pittsburgh. With responsibility, especially financial, will be facing the facts as they are, and sustainability will be “creating a culture of governance that will last beyond any administration.” Peduto said two weeks ago he was handed “1,100 pages of inspiration,” which was compiled by hundreds of Pittsburgh citizens with the reforms they want to see accomplished. Peduto said those pages will become his agenda. Peduto’s family joined him on stage while he took the oath of office, as well as the parents of police officer Paul Sciullo II, who was one of the three officers killed See Inauguration, page 7
