OneValley moved into The Roundhouse at 4165 Blair St. in 2021. It collected a variety of tenants, from tech types in the orbit of Mill 19 to lawyers, accountants, and small nonprofits with roots in the neighborhood. In June, as the eviction date loomed, those nonprofits were scrambling to find somewhere that would meet their needs as well as OneValley had.

The June 16 Greater Hazelwood community meeting saw a slightly lower attendance than normal because it had been changed from its usual second-Tuesday date. On June 9, a public meeting took place focused on the Elizabeth Street bridge; participants on June 16 heard about that. They also got an update on the renovation of Lewis Playground and learned about water issues and what they can do about them.

On Oct. 3, about 65 people gathered at the City Reformed Presbyterian Church in The Run to discuss solutions to the neighborhood’s flooding. The discussion has occurred repeatedly over the years, at times in the same basement assembly room when it was owned by International Union of Operating Engineers Local 95.

Kids played the Poop Pipes Game at Pittsburgh’s Got The Runs!, an event hosted by the local nonprofit Mon Water Project on Aug. 27. About 140 people gathered at the Roundhouse on Hazelwood Green for hands-on activities, “lightning talks,” and even a “walk to your poop pipe” hike, all designed to educate residents on Pittsburgh’s unique water issues and encourage them to think about practical solutions.

Residents of The Run and community partners met at Zano’s Pub House on June 9 to discuss next steps for addressing ongoing flooding problems in the neighborhood. The meeting was called because Pittsburgh Water recently announced that they were pausing the long-awaited flood mitigation project slated to begin in 2025. Anne Quinn, a Greenfield resident who leads the Mon Water Project, a water advocacy nonprofit, led the June 9 meeting.
