Summary
"Today the City of Pittsburgh has more municipal inclines than any other U.S. city and more city steps and bridges that any other city in the world. Undoubtedly the most unique of these transportation solutions is the city steps. Pittsburgh has hundreds of streets complete with street signs, and often times houses, that are composed entirely of steps. Pittsburgh Steps is part historical record for the armchair climber and part guided for active step trekkers"-- Provided by publisher
