>Officers caught up with the car, which was stuck in construction traffic, and conducted a traffic stop

This might be one of the most Pittsburgh things I've ever read

Wait wut? The article refers to an "open-air drug market" at Allegheny Commons, but when I look at the city's website, its description reads

>Allegheny Commons has anchored the North Side for over 150 years. The public commons predate the City of Pittsburgh’s annexation of Allegheny City. This treasured Victorian gem is our oldest park and recalls the grandeur of Central Park.

They are referring to the section 8 housing is shares the name. People sit and sell drugs in full view of the police. It was always bad but has gotten much worse.

It’s definitely an open air drug market. Cops don’t necessarily care because when they do attempt the serve the public - the perps are normally out of custody before the cop can file any paperwork.
