The purpose of this project is to work with the Garfield community to determine how a “Green Zone” might support other community aspirations. The three phases of work include: 1. Assessment of existing conditions and information needed for a successful clean up of the area (Phase I); 2. Identification of options for potential reuse of the area including views, paths and other visible improvements (Phase II); and, finally, 3. Development of a vision and strategy package to help guide specific green infrastructure improvements. Bloomfield Garfield Corporation (BGC) and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC) worked with community members to complete the first phase of the Green Zone project in spring 2015.

  • Author: Stephan Bontrager, Director of Communications, Riverlife a Big Step Forward: Point State Park
    Author: Stephan Bontrager, Director of Communications, Riverlife A Big Step Forward: Point State Park Pittsburgh’s riverfronts have undergone a long transformation from being used primarily for industry in the first half of the 20th century to the green public parks, trails, and facilities of today. The city’s riverbanks along its three rivers—the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio—are a patchwork quilt of publicly- and privately owned land, lined with industrial and transportation infrastructure that has created challenges for interconnected riverfront redevelopment across property lines. Despite the obstacles, Pittsburgh has seen a remarkable renaissance along its waterfronts. The city’s modern riverfront transformation began with the construction of Point State Park during the first “Pittsburgh Renaissance” movement of the 1940s and 50s by then- mayor David L. Lawrence. The 36-acre park at the confluence of Pittsburgh’s three rivers (the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio) was conceived as a transformational urban renewal project that would create public green space at the tip of the Pittsburgh peninsula. Championed by a bipartisan coalition of Lawrence, banker Richard King Mellon, and the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, Point State Park was created on land used primarily as a rail yard and acquired through eminent domain. Construction took several decades and the park was officially declared finished and opened to the public in 1974 with the debut of its signature feature, a 150-foot fountain at the westernmost tip of the park. After its opening, Point State Park saw near-constant use and subsequent deferred maintenance. In 2007 as part of the Pittsburgh 250th anniversary celebration, the park underwent a $35 million top-to-bottom renovation led by the Allegheny Conference, Riverlife, and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources which owns and operates the park.

  • Pittsburgh Public Schools Assignment
    Pittsburgh Public Schools Assignment Jennifer Cai John Cusick Anuj Desai Zhenzhen Weng 21-393: OR II December 2014 Introduction Public schools are crucial players in the development of youth, providing equal access to educational opportunities and preparing them to be responsible citizens. 90% of school students in the United States attend public schools. There are approximately 3.1 million teachers and 49.8 million students in public schools as of fall 2014; giving an average student-to-teacher ratio of 16.1. Countless studies have shown that students learn more effectively in smaller classes. Barriers to education exist in the form of transportation. Attendance is one of the most important factors determining a child's academic achievement. Poor school performance and higher dropout rates are correlated with absenteeism. Getting to school is difficult when students do not have reliable transportation options. In addition, if a child is not eligible for school-provided transportation and has to walk to school, the route to school may be hazardous, especially for younger children. Pittsburgh Public Schools, the public school district of Pittsburgh, is the largest school district in Allegheny County and the second largest in the state of Pennsylvania. Currently 54 schools serve approximately 25,000 students in Kindergarten through Grade 12. The average student-teacher ratio for academic year 2011-2012 was 17.4. Elementary school students who live more than 1.5 miles from their schools are provided with bus transportation from the Transportation Department. Left: Map of Pittsburgh K-5 (orange) and K-8 (purple) public schools Right: Map of Pittsburgh neighborhoods In this report, we seek to assign students to schools that minimize the distance students are traveling to get to school to address some of these issues.
