Pitt students living in off-campus housing in Oakland were paid a visit on Tuesday from City Councilman Dan Gilman, city and University police, and city and University officials to remind them of their civic responsibilities to maintain a respectful and clean presence in Oakland.
Our take? While Oakland may not be the most realistic place to start a Zero Litter enforcement program, outreach like this is the first step in building ties between the transient student population and the full-time neighborhood residents, and is a useful tool in furthering a cleaner Pittsburgh.
