This is LeboWatch2. LeboWatch1 appears here. Readers are invited to post comments -- and to act:
A concerned neighbor emailed me after her notes to Mt. Lebanon's Public Works Department drew no response.
The email note added that the Mt. Lebanon Police Department has been enforcing the township's "no skateboarding on public property" rule -- right next to this discarded equipment.
The following photo was attached to the message, taken Saturday, April 26:
UPDATE (April 28, 10:30 pm):
This post prompted quick action. Commissioner Dan Miller (Ward 5) noticed the post and contacted Public Works Director Tom Kelley, who responded quickly. The contractor has promised to remove this equipment by the end of the week, and in the meantime an impressive and imposing display of caution tape and safety pylons has been installed. See the "after" photo below. Thanks to Dan and Tom for stepping up.

I live next to Rockwood Park. They started construction in the middle of March and unearthed this old equipment and left it in the parking lot. Caution tape was used to warn us that it is dangerous. Kids don't respond to caution tape and have been playing on this equipment. Since I don't want to see kids hurt, I have been chasing them away. As I wrote to Tom Kelley, director of Public Works, I am tired of patrolling this area and Mt. Lebanon needs to be accountable for this situation. I have spoken with the inspector of the engineering firm, and emailed Tom on April 4, April 16, and April 23 about unsafe conditions at Rockwood Park and I cannot get any action. The man working for the construction company said that nothing had been mentioned to him.
