If you walk or bicycle in North Park, be prepared for some changes on Walter Road for most of the summer so repair work can be done on Pine Creek North Branch Bridge No. 3.

Some parkgoers told Channel 11 they have noticed the wear and tear.

Just over 2,200 vehicles a day drive over the bridge, which is rated in fair condition based on National Bridge Inspection Standards.

So that improvements can be made, the Allegheny County Dept of Public Works will close the northbound shoulder on Walter Road between Lake Shore Drive and Tennis Court Drive in North Park at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, May 14.

During construction, cars can still use the bridge. However, the pedestrian and bicycle lanes on that section of the road and the parking at the dog park lot will close.

Google is embarrassed about its AI Overviews, too. Google -- a company whose name is synonymous with searching the web -- whose brand focuses on "organizing the world's information" and putting it at user's fingertips -- actually wrote in a blog post that "some odd, inaccurate or unhelpful AI Overviews certainly did show up." The admission of failure, penned by Google VP and Head of Search Liz Reid, seems a testimony as to how the drive to mash AI technology into everything has now somehow made Google Search worse.
