| August 21, 2008 | Posted by breen under Community Development, Pittsburgh, Sustainable Development |
After a long and persistent effort, residents of the Hill District, united under the One Hill Coalition, finally received a community benefits agreement signed by local elected leadership.

| April 3, 2008 | Posted by breen under Civic Engagement, Government, Pittsburgh, Politics |
At a press conference today, Ravenstahl and Onorato announced their joint support for city-county consolidation in Pittsburgh/Allegheny County (view report here). For further discussion of the issues involved in such a merger, I refer to a previous post written when the committee was formed to explore the issue: “This is a mediocre solution that panders…
Got an extra $1.5 billion lying around somewhere?

Geeks like me who were following closely what the state was doing to solve our transportation funding crisis last year looked at Act 44 and saw a loose collection of half-assed solutions mixed in with a few new problems. Bond financing, tolling I-80, blah blah blah — not enough money to solve the real crisis,…

| January 7, 2008 | Posted by pghgal under Government, Links, Mon-Fayette Expressway, Transportation, Turnpike |
This email from Howard Carpenter, of the Regional Chamber Alliance, speaks volumes on the position of the chamber alliance on the MonFayette. I had to read this twice, honestly I thought it was a joke at first. As one of the young people that Pittsburgh is trying to retain here – it absolutely saddens me…
Penguins and T-shirts

I am not talking about hockey fans or the ice bowl. Did anyone attend Dan Onorato’s inauguration last night? I just spoke with some attendees who said that there were live penguins walking (and pooping) on the tables and that they were screen printing t-shirts with pictures of Dan Onorato. Friend of P2 had to…
