  • The One Northside Community Plan
    Strategy Guide No. 1 Sharing New Methods˙ to IMPACT Pittsburgh’s Neighborhoods innovative project report: THE ONE NORTHSIDE COMMUNITY PLAN Our mission is to support the people, organizations and partnerships committed to creating and maintaining thriving neighborhoods. We believe that Pittsburgh’s future is built upon strong neighborhoods and the good work happening on the ground. It is integral to our role as an advocate, collaborator and convener to lift up exemplary projects and share best practices in ways that advance better engagement and community-led decisions and ensure a better understanding of the processes that lead to success and positive impact on our neighborhoods. We share this story with you to inspire action and celebrate progress, and most importantly, to empower leaders and residents in other communities to actively ˙ shape the future of their neighborhoods. — Presley L. Gillespie President, Neighborhood Allies Neighborhood Strategy Guide || 1 innovative project report: From concept to consensus Upwards of 600 people braved the chill of an early December night in Pittsburgh last year to celebrate in the warmth inside Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their reason for celebration had nothing to do with the exploits of the city’s beloved professional football team. A community plan was being unveiled for improving the quality of life in the city’s Northside neighborhoods around the stadium that the voices of several thousand residents and community stakeholders had shaped. And hopes were high that improvements in infrastructure, schools, employment and lives would be more broadly and quickly realized, as they had in other city neighborhoods where resources and revitalization were attracting investment and people.

Gathering and organizing all of the information contained here was an enormous undertaking for the team that created this book. I and many others thank them for their effort and for the new resource they have created for all of us. Now, for the first time all of those who provide valuable services (from health and human service providers to churches, from community development corporations to cultural institutions) can communicate easily with each other. It is my hope that this wealth of information, and the collaborative effort it took to produce it, fosters new partnerships and relationships among those who work to create a better quality of life for so many on the North Side. My thanks to the North Side Service Providers Network, and especially Jane Miller of Mercy Behavioral Health, for having the vision, patience, and persistence to build this new resource for the community. Sincerely, Roy Lahet, Executive Director Mercy Behavioral Health August, 2002 ii USING THIS DIRECTORY The creators of the directory intended for this book to be easy and intuitive to use. It's organized into three parts: Part I: A listing of organizations by service type (see below) Part II: Complete program descriptions, organized alphabetically Part III: An alphabetical listing of all organizations 1.

  • Moved to Lawrenceville, and a Survey of Those Having Moved Away
    Executive Summary This study was conducted to provide community leaders with an understanding of the factors driving recent change in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood. Two surveys were conducted: a survey of those who have recently moved to Lawrenceville, and a survey of those having moved away. The mail surveys were conducted by the University Center for Social and Urban Research (UCSUR) at the University of Pittsburgh in the summer of 2011. New resident survey About 60 percent of new residents moved from a different address in the City of Pittsburgh, with an additional 20 percent coming from a Pittsburgh suburb. The most- common origin communities included Lawrenceville and other nearby neighborhoods in the East End. New Lawrenceville residents also looked for housing in Bloomfield, Shadyside, Friendship, Squirrel Hill, the South Side, and Highland Park. The most-popular reasons for moving to Lawrenceville included the cost of living, convenience to work, school, friends, or family, and a walkable business district. Many new residents become exposed to the neighborhood through community events or neighborhood institutions. Upper Lawrenceville was viewed differently by survey respondents in comparison to Lower and Central Lawrenceville. Just under half of new residents included Upper Lawrenceville in their housing search. o Those who excluded Upper Lawrenceville expressed concerns over safety, blight, and the more-distant and isolated location o Those that included Upper Lawrenceville in their search did so due to its affordability and a perception of the neighborhood as up-and-coming. Former resident survey Nearly half of the former residents responding to the survey moved to a Pittsburgh suburb and one-third stayed in the City.

  • The Manchester Neighborhood Plan
    The Manchester Neighborhood Plan Introduction & Methodology In the summer of 2009, the Manchester Citizens Corporation (MCC) Board of Directors partnered with Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation (PHLF) to commission a neighborhood planning process. The decision to undertake a planning process reflected a number of issues including the recognition that MCC’s existing planning documents were out of date with respect to reflecting the existing conditions in the neighborhood, and the desire to respond to increasing demolitions in Manchester in a proactive manner. MCC felt that the elements of a neighborhood wide strategy were embodied in the organization’s current development projects, but needed to be enhanced and articulated as part of a neighborhood planning process. MCC and PHLF desired to create a plan that is a dynamic rather than a static document. As a result, the planning process focused on establishing strategic principles and guidelines that would not change, even as the condition of individual parcels in the neighborhood changed. Although the Plan includes some parcel-specific recommendations, the plan is designed to focus more on overarching principles and guidelines. The Plan’s focus is on vacant and abandoned property. This is a critical issue as identified by Manchester residents and it is supported by data that indicate Manchester has a significant number of vacant properties. Vacant property poses a threat to public safety and the integrity of Manchester’s historic district. Dealing with the issue of vacant property in a systematic and well thought out manner is an objective of this Plan. The goals of this Plan relate to improving the physical and market conditions in the Manchester.

  • HISTORICAL SOCIETY NOTES and DOCUMENTS DIGGING up FORT PITT James L
    HISTORICAL SOCIETY NOTES AND DOCUMENTS DIGGING UP FORT PITT James L. Swauger Introduction motorist hurrying across the overpass at Point State Park and Thethe pedestrian sauntering along the park walks may find it diffi- cult to believe that less than a yard under Fort Pitt Boulevard are the actual remains of old Fort Pitt,but it is so. The old is there as well as the new. Those who use the Point, whether motorists or pedestrians, are part of the stream of history that is centered there. Itis the presence of people and the things they do that make human history. Those who use the Point are part of the past and the future as well as the present: heirs to the Indians, the French, and the English who de- sired it;actors in the bustling, industrial world that surrounds it;part- architects of what it willbe and mean to future generations. For the area of which it is a part is a natural site for a settlement, and it is likelythat men willlive there as long as the Point exists. The rivers make the location so desirable. From Pittsburgh and its Point, one can move hundreds of miles on the Allegheny, the Monongahela, and the Ohio. We live here now largely because even numerous modern highways have not erased the importance of the rivers for the transport needs of the business on which our livelihoods depend. Inthe olden days before automobiles and concrete roads, other folk found the rivers even more useful, even more necessary, for their transport. The Settlement at the Point While we cannot prove it,it is unlikely that the Indians did not camp at the Point.
