Following is a sumary of the state of East Price Hill's Hillside Steps as inventoried by the City's Department of Transportation & Engineering. Red-shaded text indicates a change in status from Open to Closed within the past three years. Yellow-shaded text indicates an inspection that is reflected in the 2009 inventory as an update from the 2006 inventory. It is a little distressing that three sets of steps were allowed to fall into such disrepair as to necessitate their closure and that three other sets have degraded in condition from Excellent to Good (2) or Good to Fair. However, I have seen new handrails installed on #317 (Peerless Street, presumably one of those "paper streets") so hopefully this will be formally re-opened since it certainly is in use.
It is interesting that the new and old closures have been removed from the inventory; how many more of these assets have been abandoned by the City and airbrushed from our neighborhood's history in this manner?
