A
B
How's
already
doing
tonight
so
just
before
we
get
started
well
we're
gonna.
You
know
the
the
four
of
us
that
are
on
this
side.
Afton
you
get
to
come
to
join
us.
You
get
to
come
sit
up
with
us,
so
you
know
we're
going
to
talk
about.
You
know
our
department,
what
we
do
and
some
of
the
some
of
the
big
projects
that
we
have
that
you
know
you
may
see
out
in
the
public.
You
know
Pittsburgh
some
basic
facts
that
I
think
we
all.
You
know
you
know
kind
of
know
about
our
city.
B
You
know
we're
a
city
of
55
square
miles.
You
know,
although
we
are
55
square
miles,
I
would
say
that
you
know.
Definitely
a
number
of
square
miles
are
not
necessarily
buildable.
When
we
think
about
our
topography,
I
mean
you
know
Tracy
you
had
talked
about,
you
know
kind
of
just.
You
know
the
connections
between
neighborhoods
and
you
know
how
the
geography
is.
Very
you
know,
different,
you
know,
can
be
very
difficult.
You
know
a
lot
of
that
due
to
our
topography.
B
You
know
we,
although
we
were
a
city
of
three
hundred
and
five
thousand
residents
in
a
metro
area
of
about
two
and
a
half
million.
We
during
the
day,
see
about
a
time
and
a
half
of
our
population.
You
know
in
the
city,
so
we've
got
three
hundred
seven
thousand
residents
or
three
hundred
five
thousand
residents
we
see
about.
You
know
450,
460
thousand,
that
are
here
during
the
day.
You
know
for
work
for
school.
For
those
other
things,
you
know
clearly
a
city
that's
defined
by
our
rivers.
B
B
You
know
the
development
of
both
public
and
private
property
here
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
and
so
you
know
we'll
talk
about
how
we
do
that
through
the
zoning
and
development
review
division
with
the
per
you
know
in
in
things
like
permits,
which
have
any
of
you
been
to
our
permit
counter
or
had
to
get
a
permit.
For
you
know
your
home
or
a
business,
a
few
of
you
have
any
of
you
been,
and
then
you
know
we'll
also
talk
about.
B
You
know
some
of
the
process
that
goes
through
when,
when
Derrick
is
up
and
presenting
around
some
of
the
neighborhood
planning
work
that
we're
doing
or
some
of
the
citywide
planning
so
have
any
of
you
been
to
a
public
meeting.
It's
been
led
by
the
Department
of
City
Planning,
whether
in
the
last
few
years,
some
things
would
be
like
our
Complete
Streets
policy,
or
you
know,
or
some
of
our
neighborhood
plans,
a
couple,
a
small
handful,
and
so
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
you
know
about
that.
We'll
talk
about.
B
You
know
some
of
our
sustainability
work
through
through
the
city's
resilience
plan
and
we
are
made
up
of
six
different
divisions
and
what
I'll
do
is
just
try
to
give
the
thumbnail
version
of
each
of
these.
You
know,
if
you
have
questions
about
you
know
some
of
the
details.
Please
ask
them
so
the
first
one
is
our
Community
Development
Division,
and
so
what
they
do
is
really
around
the
management
of
the
Community
Development
Block
Grant
funds
that
we
receive
from
this
from
the
federal
government.
B
So
the
federal
government
gives
you
know,
gives
those
Community
Development
Block
Grant
funds
through
the
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development,
which
go
to
benefit
certain
populations
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
So
we
have
both
area
wide
benefits
which
go
to
certain
neighborhoods
that
are
what
are
called
low
to
moderate
income
neighborhoods
as
determined
by
the
federal
government,
and
we
also
have
individual
benefits
to
certain
populations.
B
So
we,
for
example,
our
Community
Development
Division,
manages
the
the
HOPWA
program,
which
is
the
housing
for
persons
with
AIDS,
which
is
you
know,
kind
of
a
particular
class
that
receives
benefits
through
CDBG
dollars
or
another
one
would
be.
We
do
emergency
shelter
or
emergency
solutions,
Grants,
which
is
around
ma.
You
know,
management
of
funds
for
for
homeless,
shelters
and
similar
functions.
B
The
the
next
in
the
next
one
I'll
talk
about
is
our
zoning
development,
review,
division,
and
so
Kate
is
here
and
Kate
will
talk
a
bit
about
the
zoning
process
for
you
all
and
what
happened
and
how
people
what
people
go
through
in
the
process
to
build
here
in
the
city,
and
so
you
know,
Sounion
development
review
division
is
capable
you
know
to
address.
It
really
manages
a
lot
of
the
you
know:
kind
of
short
range
planning
in
the
city.
B
So
when
you
look
to
get
a
permit
to
develop
something
or
when
you
have
to
interact
with
one
of
our
boards
or
commissions,
most
of
our
boards
or
commissions,
whether
it
be
the
Zoning
Board
of
Adjustment,
our
Planning
Commission
or
our
historic
review,
Commission
all
exist
within
the
zoning
and
development
review.
Division.
Next
is
our
geographic
information
systems
GIS,
and
so
for
those
of
you
who
aren't
familiar
with
GIS.
Essentially
what
that
is,
is
you
know,
data
and
mapping
services,
and
so
you
know
so.
B
Our
GIS
division
not
only
provides
data
and
mapping
services
to
us
as
City
Planning,
but
they
also
service
the
many
of
the
other
departments
in
the
city.
So
we
think
about,
if
you,
if
any
of
you
have
seen
the
snow
plow
tracker
that
gets
to
you,
know
the
different
routes
for
snow
plows.
You
know
our
GIS
division,
you
know,
is
working
with
working
with
Public
Works.
You
know
on
on
items
like
that
or
doing
a
lot
of
mapping
or
you
had
a
question.
B
Do
so
you
know
so
when
you
know
not
only
when
we're
doing
planning
but
we're
working
with
you
know
many
of
the
neighborhood
organizations
across
the
city.
We
are
you
know,
kind
of
utilizing.
You
know
our
staff
in
our
GIS
division
to
be
able
to
help
with
that.
Next
is
strategic
planning
and
so
and
that's
the
division
that
Derek
works
in
and
you
know
in
that
division.
B
But
in
addition
to
that
neighborhood
planning
work,
there
is
work
that
we're
doing
on
a
citywide
level
around.
You
know
around
citywide
issues,
and
so
whether
that
is
work
that
we've
done
in
the
past
we
and
are
looking
to
do
in
the
future,
with
our
conference
with
the
cities
conference
a
plan.
So
when
we
look
at
you
know,
issues
like
cultural
heritage
and
historic
preservation
and
to
the
end
of
the
future,
or
we
look
at
open
space
and
vacant
property
you
know
and
into
the
future.
B
We
also
you
know
in
strategic
planning,
do
a
lot
of
the
environmental
planning
work.
You
know
you
know
so
you'll
see
you
know
things
like
stormwater
management
review.
That
happens
there
you'll
see
the
cities
adopt
a
lot
program
which
looks
at
you
know,
looks
at
you
know:
temporarily:
leasing,
vacant
properties
ROI
which
you're
familiar.
B
You
know
you're
familiar
with
your
work
in
the
hilltop
alliance
and
you
know,
and
things
like
the
city's
greenways,
so
getting
back
to
some
of
those
undeveloped
lands
that
really
you
know
determining
that
the
the
highest
and
best
use
of
that
property
is
really
as
natural
space.
In
some
of
these
hillsides
that
we
see
across
the
city
that
really
development
isn't
the
best
use
there
that
really
you
know
that
and
so
that
determining
that
work
is
a
part
of
what
we
do.
Next
I'll
talk
about
our
public
art
and
civic
design
division.
B
This
is
a
mighty
division
of
two
that
manages
the
city's
Art
Commission
and
also
manages
the
city's
portfolio
of
public
art,
and
so
you
know
the
public
art
that
you
see
in
our
parks.
You
know
out
in
our
public
spaces
those
are
things
that
are
maintained
through
our
public
art
and
Civic
design
division,
and
then
our
you
know
the
most
recent
addition
just
this
year
to
the
department
is
the
sustainability
and
resilience
division,
and
so,
after
we'll
talk,
you
know
a
bit
about.
B
You
know
what
they're
doing
which
really
focuses
on
you
know
the
management,
the
creation
and
now
moving
into
implementation
of
both
the
city's
climate
action
plan
and
thinking
about
how
you
know
we
are,
you
know
preparing
ourselves.
As
you
know,
through
you
know,
as
climate
change
occurs
and
looking
at
one
PGH,
which
is
the
city's
resilience
strategy-
and
you
know
and
I
think
that
you
know
afternoon
will
give
you
a
lot
more
detail
on
that.
As
we
move
forward,
they
put
an
organizational
structure
up
which
none
of
you
can
read
there
are.
B
There
are
I,
think
44
of
us
across
the
six
divisions,
ranging
from
like
I,
said
our
small
but
mighty
public
art
division
of
chess
to
you
know
our
strategic
planning
and
zoning
divisions,
which
have
you
know
ten
or
eleven.
So
you
know
so
all
of
us
that
work
in
in
those
particular
places.
So
the
three
things
that
we'll
talk
about
tonight
Kate
will
lead
us
off
talk
about
zoning
and
development
review.
B
Then
you
know,
like
I,
said:
Derek
will
talk
about
the
work
that
we're
doing
around
one
of
our
neighborhood
planning
efforts
in
Uptown
and
West
Oakland,
and
then
Afton
will
close
us
out
with
a
discussion
of
the
resilience
strategy.
So
any
questions
before
we
before
we
jump
kate
around
the
department.
D
D
B
Far
as
where
we
identify
locations
sure
so
there
there
are
a
couple
of
factors
that
come
in
to
you
know
when
we
work
on
neighborhood
plans
as
to
where
we
work.
You
know
when
the
with
the
one
that
was
just
completed
in
the
three
that
we
have
going
on
right
now.
The
reason
that
we're
do
it
working
in
those
neighborhoods
is,
you
know,
for
a
couple
of
reasons,
one
that
those
locations
have
some
sort
of
catalytic
development
that
will
create
change
in
that
neighborhood.
B
So
in
Uptown,
West
Oakland
there's,
you
know
been
the
bus,
rapid
transit
project,
it's
been
discussed
and
you
know
we're
working
in
Hazelwood
where
the
former
realm
you
know,
former
former
LTV
state
steel
site,
then
formerly
Amano
now
called
Hazelwood
green
development
is,
is
looking
to
come
online
and
and
and
so
there's
that
kind
of
very
large
development
that
could
really
change
the
neighborhood
or
the
other
plate.
The
other
one
of
the
other
reasons
is
that
you
know
with
work
and
having
have
you
guys
done,
the
you
are
Molly.
Have
you
guys
done
the
URA?
B
Yet
so,
if
you've
done,
the
Urban
Redevelopment,
Authority
they've
probably
talked
to
you,
but
the
market
value
analysis,
and
so
looking
at
the
market
value
analysis-
and
you
know
looking
at
where
there
are
you
know-
kind
of
weaker
markets
that
are
adjacent
to
stronger
markets,
noting
that
you
know
that
that
strength
will
then
come
across
to
those
neighborhoods,
because
really
our
goal
is
to
try
to
create
these
neighborhood
plans
to
allow
development
to
happen.
You
know
for
communities
in
in
in
their
vision
and
not
necessarily
to
them
right,
you
know.
E
B
F
Thank
you
Andrew.
So
I
am
here
to
talk
about
the
zoning
and
development
review
division.
So
the
first
question
is:
what
is
zoning
right?
I'm
not
gonna,
read
you
the
straight-up
definition,
but
the
idea
is
that
property
owners
tenants
landlords.
They
have
certain
rights
of
what
they
can
do
to
the
property,
but
Sony
places
some
restrictions
on
that,
because
what
they
can
do
to
their
property
also
has
impact
on
their
directly
abiding
neighborhood
and
also
on
the
wider
community.
So
the
idea
is
that
we
set
a
framework
that
says
hey.
F
Here
are
all
the
things
that
you
can
do
on
the
property,
but
here
are
some
some
restrictions,
so
it
doesn't
bother
your
neighbors
or
it
doesn't
bother
your
neighborhood
right.
That's
that's
sort
of
the
short
answer.
So
in
our
division
we
have
the
Zoning
Administrator,
+13
staff
members
and
together
we
staff
four
boards
and
commissions.
The
first
one
that's
listed
is
the
contextual
design
advisory
panel,
which
is
not
a
full-on
Commission,
but
this
is
the.
F
This
is
sort
of
our
design
advisory
panel,
that
reviews,
architecture
and
urban
design
for
the
larger
projects
that
are
proposed
in
this
city.
So
new
development
downtown
new
development
in
Oakland,
it's
can
its
its
architects
and
planners
and
people
who
provide
an
extra
sort
of
design
I
outside
of
what
we
have
in
the
department
and
that
recommendation
goes
to
the
director
and
also
to
the
Planning
Commission,
the
Zoning
Board
of
Adjustment.
F
They
meet
any
in
this
room
on
Thursdays
if
anybody
has
ever
been
or
if
you
want
to
go
in
the
future
now
you
know
where
it
is.
They
have
sort
of
a
special
role
relative
to
certain
certain
uses
and
certain
projects
require
their
approval,
and
then
they
also
hear
certain
things
that
if
you
want
to
do
something
that
isn't
allowed
by
right
in
zoning,
so
you
you
want
to
build
a
four-story
house
and
you're
only
allowed
to
build
a
three-story
house.
F
The
Zoning
Board
is
the
is
the
body
that
you
would
ask
for
that
for
that
change
to
the
underlying
zoning.
The
Planning
Commission
again
also
meets
in
this
room
that
that
one
is
on
Tuesday
afternoons.
They
could
they
review
development
projects
again,
sort
of
large
development
projects
downtown
and
in
Oakland
they
also
here's
the
zoning
map
and
zoning
text
changes
to
your
question
earlier
about
community
input
in
the
process.
F
Our
Planning
Commission
is
very
interested
in
making
sure
that
the
neighbors
of
the
projects
and
the
community
groups
for
development
projects
that
come
before
us
or
plans
or
zoning
changes.
They
want
to
know
that
the
neighbors
are
in
support.
It's
a
public
meeting.
You
can
come
and
testify.
You
can
send
us
letters,
you
can
send
us
email.
This
is.
F
This
is
a
great
way
to
get
input
on
development
projects
and,
what's
going
on
in
the
city,
the
last
one
that's
listed
is
the
historic
review
Commission
they
review
exterior
changes
and
new
construction
in
our
historic
districts
and
also
to
locally
designated
historic
monuments,
also
meets
here
on
one
Wednesday
a
month,
all
right.
So
it's
generally
again
sort
of
what
is
zoning.
There
are
certain
uses
that
are
allowed
by
right
and
each
zoning
district
generally
there's
two
classifications
of
zoning
districts
as
a
commercial
districts
which
obviously
allows
commercial
uses.
F
Most
of
them
also
allow
residential
uses,
and
then
there
are
residential
zoning
districts.
Generally
residential
zoning
districts
only
allow
residential.
There
are
some
exceptions
to
that
for
things
like
schools
and
other
other
sort
of
non-residential
uses
that
could
be
compatible
with
adjacent
residential
I'm.
Not
gonna.
Talk
about
this
setbacks
density,
so
most
property
in
the
city.
If
you're
going
to
come
in
and
you're
going
to
put
a
deck
on
the
back
your
house,
there
are
certain
setback
regulations
that
you
have
to
follow.
F
That
just
sets
some
space
between
where
that
structure
is
and
your
property
line
again
just
getting
to
the
idea
of
impact
on
neighbors
and
then
zoning
code,
and
this
are
sort
of
philosophy-
and
this
is
changing
and
you'll
hear
some
of
this
from
Derek
I'm
sure
with
the
uptown
eco
innovations
stuff.
That
sort
of
you
know
in
the
past
sort
of
traditional
zoning
is
always
required
parking
as
we
sort
of
move
to
the
day
and
age,
where
obviously
there's
public
transportation,
but
there's
also
different
modes.
F
Now
we're
encouraging
biking,
we're
putting
in
bike
lanes
there's
ubermann
ways
of
getting
around.
It's
always
not
just
sort
of
well
you're
gonna
put
up
an
office
building,
so
you
need
50
parking
spaces.
You
know.
Maybe
there
isn't
a
demand
for
50
parking
spaces.
People
are
walking
from
the
bus,
or
people
are
shared
parking,
so
those
sort
of
things
are
changing,
but
that
is
still
a
code
requirement.
F
Most
places
in
the
city
is
for
parking
and
then
again,
as
Andrew
said
that
if
our
zoning
counter
is
up
on
the
third
floor,
if
you
you
know,
you
can
do
a
whole
heck
of
a
lot
of
things
there.
If
you
need
to
file
for
a
permit
for
your
own
house,
you
can
also
come
see
property
files.
If
your
neighbor
has
you
know,
they're
going
to
the
Zoning,
Board
and
you're
going
to
notice
in
the
mail,
you
can
come
in
and
see
all
of
the
public
information
on
what
they're
proposing
or
on
their
property.
F
We
are
getting
towards
we're
getting
to
more
stuff
on
our
websites.
You
don't
actually
have
to
come
in,
but
you
can
always
come
in
to
our
office
to
see
whatever
public
files
that
we
have
that's
available,
and
it's
not
my
last.
Oh
and
my
last
slide
you
guys
we
included
the
building
I
slide.
You
guys
may
have
seen
this
when
you
came
to
just
to
pli,
but
the
building
I
website
has
all
of
the
planning
applications
as
well.
You
can
set
up
notifications
into
your
question
about
the
hotel.
F
I
actually
don't
know,
but
building
I
would
be
the
perfect
place
to
check
and
did
they
actually
show
you
how
to
do
building
I
when
you
okay
did
they
show?
Did
they
show
to
you
at
PLI
in
that
section?
Okay,
so
yeah,
that's
the
best
ways
you
could
go,
you
could
see
whether
it
was
approved
yet
and
you
could
see
whether
they
had
a
building
permit.
So
that
is
my
last
slide.
I.
Think
yes,
so
questions
for
me.
Yes,.
G
They
say
the
city
actually
changed
their
zoning.
From
being
it
sorry,
community
organization
I
was
at
where
were
complaining
because
they
said
the
city
took
their
zoning
away
from
them,
having
business
or
being
able
to
have
business
or
stores
in
their
neighborhood,
and
they
were
questioning
you
know
like.
Why
hasn't
it
came
back
and-
and
they
seem
like
they're
they're
trying
to
fight
and
they
feel
like
the
community
is
dying
because
they're
not
able
to
be
zoned
to
have
businesses.
How
do
you
yeah.
F
That's
definitely
something
that
we
can
talk
about
and
we
would
want
to
talk
to
the
neighborhood
planner
as
well
for
that
neighborhood,
but
anything
where
it
sounds
like
there.
The
underlying
zoning
district
may
have
changed
from
commercial
to
residential,
anything
like
that
would
come
through
Planning
Commission
and
then
it
would
ultimately
go
to
City
Council
and
it
would
ultimately
be
the
decision
of
the
mayor.
So
any
of
that
would
have
involved.
You
know
if
you
just
sort
of
generally
owned
property
and
they're
going
to
change
your
zoning.
F
Yeah,
well,
that's
one
way
that
could
have
a
property
owner
as
a
property.
If
they
were
a
property
owner,
they
could
file
to
change
the
zoning
of
their
property.
If
they're,
not
a
property
owner,
the
Department
of
City
Planning
could
introduce
legislation
at
Planning,
Commission
or
the
city
council.
Member
could
introduce
legislation
to
change
the
zoning.
G
F
They
don't
actually
own
the
property.
Yes,
you
can't
you,
you
have
to
own
the
property
to
file
a
petition
as
a
citizen
of
the
resident
of
the
city.
Fifth
right,
yeah
yeah,
but
homeowners
could
also
do
it,
but
they
would
have
to
get
together
and
join
the
petition
mm-hmm
yeah,
but
yeah.
If
it's
something
that
you
from
a
planning
perspective,
they
feel
like
that
zoning
needs
to
change.
Please
talk
to
us
about
it,
we're
happy
to
look
into
it
and
see
if
it
needs
to
change.
Yeah.
G
F
And
it's
not
a
quick
process.
I
would
say
his
owning
change
is
going
to
take
six
months
to
nine
months,
but
in
some
ways
that's
a
good
thing.
It
allows
people
notice,
it
gives
people
process,
they
can
come
and
testify
because
it
does
impact
people,
it
impacts.
What
you
can
do
and
you
know
the
and
there's
pros
and
cons.
You
know
when
you
have
a
commercial
zoning
district.
There
are,
if
there's
probably
going
to
be
more
people
around,
there's
gonna
be
more
noise.
F
There's
gonna
there
mew
know
they
have
to
deal
with
sort
of
the
commercial
impacts
adjacent
to
residential
neighborhood,
which
it
doesn't
mean
that
that's
not
bad
things
there's
trade-offs
to
both
things,
but
it
sort
of
allows
that
public
process
to
happen
to
figure
out
what
what's?
What's
the
best
thing
I.
H
Have
a
question
you,
you
just
brought
up
that
your
department,
the
zoning
department,
would
be
responsible
for
asking
permission
for
a
variance
if
you
wanted
to
build
a
four-story
house
instead
of
a
three-story
house,
and
I
know
that
you
have
to
deal
with
code
and
that
determines
what
you
know.
What
defines
three
stories
like
is
a
basement,
always
a
story.
H
H
H
F
H
And
is
it?
Is
it
also
true
like
in
the
city
deserves
owning
requirements?
Are
the
say
the
code
specify
that
a
bedroom
must
have
a
window
in
a
closet
that.
H
F
I
F
Depends
so
if,
if
a
if
an
old
business
with
an
old
storefront
had
an
existing
occupancy,
permit
that
it
says
it
was
a
store
and
it
was
sort
of
never,
nobody
ever
had
an
intent
to
abandon
it
as
a
store.
You
could
probably
bring
it
back
to
that
same
use.
Now,
of
course,
there's
always
caveats
to
that
because
say
back
in
the
day
it
was
a
store.
I
was
a
hat
shop,
and
now
somebody
wants
to
open
a
restaurant.
F
Well,
even
though
those
are
commercial
uses,
you
might
have
to
go
to
the
Zoning
Board
as
a
change
of
a
from
one
non-conforming
use
to
another.
This,
of
course,
is
assuming
that
it's
a
residential
zoning
district,
if
it
were
a
commercial
zoning
district
I,
can
check
in
the
specific
instance.
If
you
want
to
talk
later,
it
would
be
easier,
obviously,
to
bring
that
back
as
a
as
a
as
a
commercial
space.
J
Thank
you.
You
said
that
you're
currently
in
the
process
of
getting
rid
of
parking
minimums.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
that?
We.
K
F
Again,
part
of
that
is
around
the
planning
work.
That's
going
up
in
Uptown
right
we're
proposing
the
BRT
we're
sort
of
we're
thinking
that
you
know
they
that
no
parking
work,
increased,
encourages
reusing,
existing
structures,
they're,
not
demolishing
things,
to
create
more
parking
and
we're
thinking
about
ways
to
do
sort
of
shared
parking
strategies,
around
sort
of
community
parking
structures
and
that
sort
of
thing
so
we're
thinking
about
ways
to
get
people
parked
if
they
are
driving
or
they're
on
the
bus
or
they're,
walking
or
biking.
J
F
Other
big
thing
that
we
have
going
on
right
now
is
the
proposal
for
changes
to
the
riverfront
zoning
code,
which
would
presumably
remap
a
whole
bunch
of
the
riverfront
from
what
it
is
now
to
a
new
riverfront
zoning
code.
We're
still
working
on
that.
There
are
public
meetings
in
the
beginning
of
December.
If
you're
interested
in
that,
besides
that,
right
now,
we
don't
have
any
plans
for
sort
of
a
complete
code
overhaul
the
of
the
two
that
we're
working
on
right
now
are
uptown
and
then
the
riverfront
other
questions.
D
K
Right,
hi,
everyone,
yes
I'll,
need
that
one
again,
so
my
name
is
Derek
Dauphin
I'm,
one
of
the
neighbourhood
planners,
so
the
neighbourhood
planners
are
actually
sort
of
area
planners.
We
cover
many
different
neighborhoods.
My
areas
are
downtown
uptown,
the
hill
district
at
Oakland,
so
sort
of
the
city
center.
That
version
of
downtown
also
includes
North,
Shore
and
also
Station
Square
at
Station
Square
East.
So
it's
sort
of
the
greater
what
people
refer
to
as
Greater
downtown.
Often
the
eco
innovation
district,
so
I'm
not
and
I'm,
not
gonna.
Take
credit
for
all
of
this.
K
So
I've
been
here
since
January
I
moved
here
in
Portland,
Oregon,
I
sort
of
landed
in
this
project
in
the
last,
maybe
third
of
it,
and
so
this
project
was
going
on
for
something
like
two
years
at
this
point
a
little
over
two
years
and
it's
been
a
real
collaboration
and
we'll
talk
about
some
of
the
partners
I'm
going
to
sort
of
take
us
through
a
few
parts
of
this
project.
We
can
dig
into
other
details
that
people
see
fit,
but
I'm
gonna
cover
what
we
did
in
Uptown.
It's
not
necessarily
a
standard
for
all.
K
Neighborhood
plans
by
any
means,
but
it's
sort
of
what
we
felt
was
the
right
thing
to
do
in
this
neighborhood
after
working
with
the
community
organizations
for
a
while
what
the
plan
has
in
it
broadly
how
we're
trying
to
implement
the
plan
with
this
new
zoning
proposal
that
we
sort
of
been
talking
about
a
little
bit
already.
Andrew
talked
a
little
bit
about
what
we're
doing
in
terms
of
neighborhood
plantings
right
now,
so
the
sort
of
colored
areas
there
are
the
current
neighborhood
plans,
they
all
sort
of
kicked
off,
I.
K
Think
last
month,
uptown,
you
know.
Officially
we
were
sort
of
done
planning
for
uptown,
maybe
at
the
beginning
of
this
year,
and
then
we're
working
on
writing
the
plan
and
working
with
the
community
on
actually
drafting
the
document,
the
strategies
and
the
proposals
and
starting
to
work
through
zoning.
But
the
active
sort
of
engagement,
part
of
the
project
was
more
or
less
done
by
the
beginning
of
this
year.
K
There's
strangely
well,
did
you
know
spaced
out
across
the
city?
I,
don't
know
if
that
was
the
intent,
but
but
each
neighborhood
is
very
different,
and
so
each
neighborhood
is
getting
a
sort
of
a
different
version
of
the
neighborhood
plan.
They're
custom
tailored
to
the
you
know.
What's
going
on
in
that
neighborhood
it's
by
no
means
that
one
size
fits
all
sort
of
you
know
project.
K
Why
did
we
choose
up
ten
well
Andrew
sort
of
covered
this
already,
but
there
are
a
number
of
things
that
are
unique
about
Uptown
for
one.
It's,
it's
between.
You
know:
downtown
Pittsburgh,
the
second
largest
employment
center
in
the
state
and
the
third
largest
employment
center
in
the
state
which
is
Oakland
there
are
you
know,
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
these
areas
and
uptown
sits
right
in
between
them.
K
It
also
has
been
the
focus
for
a
long
time
of
this
sort
of
BRT
proposal
that
you
see
running
through
there,
the
lines
running
through
those
areas
we
actually
began
doing
the
BRT
before
we
thought
about
the
neighborhood
plan
and
I.
Think
it's
not.
You
know
to
be
honest
about
that.
The
community
said
well,
what
does
this
do
for
us?
Sixty
plus
percent
of
us
already
take
transit
to
get
places.
We
don't
need
to
drive
to
get
to
work.
What
does
BRT
gonna
do
for
us?
K
We
can
walk,
we
can
walk
the
downtown,
we
can
walk
Dublin
and
that's
a
good
question
and
so
I
think
what
we
were
able
to
do
is
sort
of
step
back
and
say:
okay,
well
put
that
beer
idea
on
hold
and
work
with
you
all
to
figure
out
what
can
be
Rati
do
for
you,
I
think
that
was
a
really
important
thing.
I.
Take
no
credit
for
that,
because
it
was
done
well
before
I
got
here,
but
it
was
a.
It
was
sort
of
an
inspired
idea.
It
also
because
we
were
doing
bus,
rapid
transit.
K
It
allowed
us
to
tap
into
federal
transportation
administration
funding,
so
we
had
a
lot
more
money
than
we
would
normally
have
to
do
this
project.
It
allowed
us
to
be
more
expansive
and
what
we
looked
at,
so
we
sort
of
knew
going
in,
but
we
started
to
to
talk
to
people
in
the
in
the
community
about
what's
going
on
in
Uptown
traffic
safety
issues,
and
this
this
slide
often
gets
a
little
laughs.
K
If
you
sort
of
look
at
the
license
plate
there,
which
is
not
made
up,
this
is
actually
an
accident
that
happened
during
our
planning
process.
This
is
Boulevard
the
Allies
there's
a
lot
of
unsafe
traffic
behavior
that
happens
in
Uptown,
there's
a
lot
of
cutting
between
bolÃvar,
the
Allies
and
fifth
and
Forbes
in
particular.
So
the
cross
streets
are
really
dangerous,
the
intersection
of
gist
and
fifth,
our
guest
in
Forbes.
They
have
a.
K
They
actually
have
a
webcam
there
that
tracks
their
records
all
the
accidents,
because
there's
one
at
least
every
month,
so
traffic
safety
is
a
big
issue.
There's
also
the
other
effects
of
this,
which
are
air
quality.
There
is
a
lot
of
traffic
going
through
the
district,
often
around
the
district,
but
not
necessarily
benefiting
the
district,
and
but
they
are
enjoying
all
of
the
wonderful
pollutants
that
are
coming
out
of
the
car.
K
They
have
other
environmental
issues,
so
this
is
what
we
called
the
m-19
sewer
shed,
so
it
sits
at
the
bottom
of
the
hill
district,
and
so
all
the
water
that
comes
off
of
most
of
the
hill
districts
is
actually
dumping
into.
Uptown
often
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
surface
soil,
so
it
floods
very
often
some
of
the
highest
areas
of
flooding
and
then
because
we
have
combined
sewers
a
lot
of
times.
What
that
causes
to
happen
is
that
this,
the
rainwater
is
causing
the
sewage
to
flood
into
the
streets.
K
Open
space,
I'm
not
gonna,
dwell
on
this
too
much.
But
it's
pretty
clear
from
the
little
diagrams
that
we
have
there
compared
to
everything
around
it,
including
downtown.
It
has
a
lot
less
open
space
and
that's
something
that
we
need
to
try
to
figure
out
how
to
address
in
an
area
that
still
has
the
opportunity
to
create
new
open
space,
because
it
has
a
large
amount
of
vacancy
and
surface
parking
that
we
could
use
for
other
purposes.
K
This
is
just
an
image
of
what
that
vacancy
looks
like
there
is
to
cut
two
issues
with
a
lack
of
buildings
in
this
neighborhood
over
time.
People
have
speculated
on
property,
they've
bought
buildings
because
they
knew
there
were
an
easy,
5
minute
walk
from
downtown.
They
have
not
necessary
cared
for
those
buildings.
Sometimes
they
purposely
torn
them
down,
so
they
could
build.
They
could
have
surface
parking.
Surface
parking
is
a
cash
cow.
K
It
requires
minimal,
upkeep
and
makes
a
lot
of
money,
especially
when
you're
five
minutes
from
downtown,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
districts
has
been
carved
up
and
basically
removed
and
replaced
with
you
to
service
parking
or
in
many
cases
nothing
at
all.
So
a
lot
of
these
houses
are
demolished.
We
demolish
them
as
a
City,
because
they're
deemed
unsafe
and
a
lot
of
times.
What
we
do
is
we
take
the
the
bricks
and
we
just
dump
them
into
the
basement
that
it
gets
filled
over.
K
The
idea
that
came
from
the
community
was
we
really
want
to
try
something
with
eco
districts.
Has
anyone
ever
heard
of
eco
districts
before
yes,
eco
districts
is
sort
of
a
strategy
that
came
out
of
Portland
Oregon
originally,
and
the
idea
was
that
communities
could
plan
for
themselves.
If
they
were
given
the
right
tools,
they
could
do
pretty
complicated
planning
and
they
could
do
a
holistic
view
of
their
community
in
terms
of
sustainability.
K
So
it's
not
just
creating
a
sustainable
community
that
has
green
buildings
in
green
infrastructure,
but
it's
creating
the
community
organizations
that
can
maintain
that
the
the
skills
to
be
able
to
actually
build
these
things.
It's
sort
of
trying
to
close
the
loop
on
what
all
that
means
for
a
neighborhood
and
it's
been
spreading
sort
of
like
wildfire
throughout
the
nation.
One
of
the
things
that
this
illustrates
is
sort
of
you
can
see
on
the
intercept
in
your
area.
K
There
are
some
of
the
big
goals
and
then
tracking
that
so
one
of
the
things
that
were
going
to
be
doing
is
we
move
forward
with
implementation
of
the
plan
is
tracking
how
well
we're
doing
against
our
goals.
We
wanted
to
merge
that
with
innovation
districts,
because
there's
such
a
huge
opportunity
for
economic
development,
because
they're
between
these
two
employment
centers
there
was
a
strong
push
to
look
at
the
innovation
districts.
This
is
in
Boston,
there's
innovation
districts
throughout
the
country.
The
idea
is
that
the
city
can
work
to
provide
space
for
innovation
to
happen.
K
So
this
is
a
this
is
an
incubator
or
a
hub.
We
have
a
number
of
them
in
the
city
but
trying
to
put
buildings
repurpose
buildings
so
that
there
are
spaces
for
people
to
you
know
start
up.
Companies
learn
new
skills,
spaces
for
makers,
these
all
sort
of
fit
into
the
innovation
district
planning
process,
so
we
merged
the
two.
We
also
didn't
want
to
do
this
in
a
complete
vacuum,
so
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
the
city
as
you're
learning,
and
we
certainly
didn't
want
to
ignore
that.
K
So
we
as
we
were
doing
this
project,
other
projects
like
like
one
PGH,
which
we
hear
about
like
the
climate
action
plan
and
also
like
the
p4
initiative,
we're
all
going
on
at
the
same
time.
So
there
was
a
big
opportunity
there
for
us
to
learn
about
some
of
these
problems
at
the
citywide
scale,
but
then,
as
we're
working
at
a
very
defined
area,
to
be
able
to
think
about
how
you
translate
those
big,
broad
policies
to
some
to
a
little
area
with
actual
people.
K
P
4
is
a
partnership
between
the
city
and
Heights.
It's
people
place
performance
and
planet,
not
in
that
order.
I
don't
think.
But
the
idea
initial
idea
is
that
it
could
be
a
decision-making
tool
for
city
investments,
I,
think
it's
become
much
more
than
that
and
different
parts
of
the
city
are
looking
at
implementing
that.
Did
the
youõre
not
talk
about
it
all
just
from
my
own,
they
did
okay,
so
it
inspired
us
quite
a
bit
and
and
you'll
see
some
of
them.
K
We
talked
about
the
zoning
actually,
but
it,
but
as
a
simple
framework
that
people
can
understand,
it
gets
quite
powerful.
We
didn't
do
this
alone,
it
wasn't
even
necessarily
our
idea
as
I
mentioned,
so
we
had
a
really
strong
partnership
with
all
sorts
of
organizations,
both
in
the
district
and
then
you
see
Oakland,
Planning
and
Development
Corporation,
and
some
organizations
that
were
around
the
district
or
groups
like
Green,
Building
Alliance
that
were
going
to
be.
K
So
what
is
the
plan?
Look
like
and
I'm
gonna
jump
through
this
fairly
quickly,
but
we
can
come
back
to
different
parts
of
it.
It's
like
a
300
page
document
and
then
there
are
something
like
seven
data
books
that
if
you
really
want
to
dig
into
this,
there's
plenty
to
learn
and
I,
don't
pretend
to
know
all
of
it.
We
had
a
huge
consultant
team
that
helped
us
dig
into
most
of
these
topics.
We'll
talk
about
energy,
which
you
know
going
into
this
I
knew
very
little
about,
so
it
really
required
us
to
stretch
ourselves.
K
It
required
all.
The
community
groups
to
stretch
themselves
to
the
four
chapters
are
basically
the
four
topics.
So
there's
a
community
development
mobility
infrastructure
chapters,
I'm
just
gonna,
step
through
them,
but
broadly
community-
is
around
trying
to
work
with
the
existing
residents.
How
can
we
make
the
community
better
for
them
and
strengthen
the
organizations
that
are
there?
K
Development
was
all
about
that
next
step.
So
what
are
the
new
buildings?
Look
like
what
are
the
new
organizations?
What
is
the
new
capacity?
How
do
we
build
on
what's
their
mobility?
This
is
a
district
where
we're
already
starting
out
with
where
we
want
to
end
in
terms
of
who's
driving
and
who's
using
other
modes
of
transportation,
but
we
still
saw
that
it
an
equal
access.
So
there
are
some
people
that
have
better
access
to
uber
and
ride,
share
and
bike
share
and
cycling,
and
these
other
options
than
others.
K
And
so
we
wanted
to
provide
a
better
choice
or
a
more
choice
for
everyone
and
then
sustainable
infrastructure
and
you're
gonna,
see
that
is
the
broadest
use
of
the
word
infrastructure
that
you're
gonna
run
into,
but
it
includes
open
space.
It
includes
energy
and
renewable
energy
systems,
it
also
includes
storm
water,
which
you
would
probably
give
this
infrastructure,
so
this
project
was
a
real
collaboration
with
the
community.
This
is
some
unfortunate.
You
can't
see
him
that
well,
but
these
are
pictures
of
some
of
our
public
events.
K
K
We
had
food
trucks
and
we
had
live
music
and,
and
so
I
think
it
allowed
people
to
sort
of
come
and
enjoy
themselves
and
also
happened
to
learn
a
little
bit
about
the
plan
and
provide
some
feedback
in
terms
of
the
sheer
numbers.
You
can
see
sort
of
the
different
things
that
we
did
and
how
many
people
are
involved.
Different
groups,
sort
of
required
different
means
to
get
to
them.
So
folks,
in
the
development
community,
it
often
works
better
to
hold
focus
groups.
We
did
a
lot
of
interviews,
particularly
with
staff
and
institutions.
K
Surveys
are
better
for
employees
and
for
students.
If
you
think
about
this
district,
the
one
thing,
that's
little
surprising
is
there's
only
a
thousand
residents,
but
there
are
six
thousand
students
and
there
are
ten
thousand
employees,
and
so,
if
you
would
just
try
to
use
your
sort
of
standard
approaches
to
neighborhood
outreach,
it
really
wouldn't
work
here.
You'd
only
be
getting,
you
know,
one
in
ten
people,
and
so
we
had
to
be
sort
of
you
know
creative
and
trying
to
reach
out
to
people,
and
then
the
last
couple
points
are
just.
K
This
was
a
really
online
heavy,
very
interactive
project
and
that's
sort
of
I
think
we're.
A
lot
of
this
is
heading
because
a
lot
of
people
don't
have
time
to
come
to
these
meetings,
but
they
can.
If
we
can
put
the
information
out
there
and
a
reasonably
good
format
and
get
feedback
online,
then
we
can
reach
a
bigger
audience
that
maybe
doesn't
have
the
ability
to
get
to
us
I'm
starting
to
skip
through
this.
This
is
sort
of
what
that
mapping
exercise
results
in
so
we
have
feedback
that
is
specific
to
areas.
K
We
have
a
lot
of
these
feedback
map.
This
is
just
one
of
them,
and
you
see
things
like
clean
up
this
area
or
this
area
feels
unsafe.
That's
not
uncommon.
We
also
did
opportunity
mapping
these
a
bunch
of
these
sort
of
graphs.
I,
don't
like
staring
at
graphs
that
long.
But
what
you
see
is
the
people
things
that
people
like
in
the
community
are
its
location.
It
is,
they
can
walk
to
anywhere.
They
get
access
to
amenities,
cultural
amenities,
whatever
in
downtown
and
Oakland.
K
We
also
did
a
bunch
of
data
analysis
that
I'm
not
going
to
spend
too
much
time
with
us
other
than
to
say
yeah,
there's
a
lot
of
crime
there,
and
that
area
in
particular
around
Colwell,
is
also
where
there's
a
lot
of
vacancy.
So
in
general
we
see
that
sort
of
linkage
between
vacant
dark
places
our
places
where
things
can
happen,
and
so
you
know
it
may
not
sound
like
the
greatest
idea,
necessarily
but
activating
those
places
with
new
buildings
and
and
new
activities
is
one
way
to
sort
of
push
out
the
bad
ones.
K
The
other
thing
that
is
important
and
I,
don't
think
we'll
spend
much
more
time
talking
about
this
is
that
perception
of
crime
was
really
key
in
this
neighborhood.
The
two
highest
incidences
of
crime
are
prostitution
and
drug
dealing,
which
are
some
of
the
most
obvious
things
to
like.
Everyone
knows
what
they're
seeing
when
they
see
those
things,
and
so
that
drives
a
lot
of
the
perceptions.
In
addition
to
the
darkness
and
the
absence
of
activity
in
these
vacant
and
underutilized
spaces,
we
got
to
do
some
cool
things.
K
Hydrology
we
went
in
knowing
this
was
an
issue,
so
this
map
is
sort
of
trying
to
cover
a
lot
of
different
bases
here,
but
we
know
that
we've
got
a
lot
to
overcome
in
terms
of
stormwater
and
flooding
and
then
the
other
thing
is
it's
not
a
lot
of
residents
and
that
allows
us
to
dig
in
pretty
deep
into
what
those
residents
are
experiencing,
and
so
one
of
the
analysis
we
did
is
we
started
to
like
peel
away
at
at
different
kinds
of
housing
situations.
So
we
wanted
to
figure
out
who's
at
risk.
K
If
property
values
go
up,
if
rents
go
up
who's
at
risk
of
being
forced
out
of
the
district,
but
we
ended
up
with.
Is
this
number
of
207
households?
And
these
are
folks,
you
start
pulling
away
the
the
people
that
live
in
designated,
affordable
housing
are
at
risk
because
their
their
housing
is
sort
of
fixed.
The
cost
of
their
housing
is
fixed.
It's
not
it's
not
going
to
be
impacted
by
the
market.
Immediately,
we
pulled
out
homeowners.
K
We
pulled
out
people
that
have
moved
in
the
district
recently
and
are
experiencing
higher
rents,
because
there
are
new
buildings
and
so
they're
there.
They
picked
this
neighborhood,
based
on
understanding
what
the
current
rents
are.
So
we're
trying
to
get
at
those
longer-term
renters
who
are
in
units
that
have
been
affordable
for
a
long
time
and
try
to
figure
out
how
do
we
get
at
those
with
some
different
policies
that
we'll
talk
about
later?
We
also
want
to
know
who's.
You
know
whose
impact
in
this
district,
these
maps
are
pretty
extraordinary.
K
When
you
look
at
the
left,
you're
looking
at
where
all
the
people
that
work
in
Uptown
lift,
so
the
nine
out
of
ten
people
are
traveling
from
everywhere
in
the
city.
Basically,
if
you
look
at
where
people
in
in
Uptown
work
on
the
right
side,
they
only
work
really
in
downtown
and
Oakland,
so
that
they're
making
a
huge
they're
making
a
huge
decision
about
where
they
live
and
how
they
want
to
live.
K
Basically,
so,
in
terms
of
the
plan
that
comes
out
of
all
this
sort
of
research
and
and
community
involvement,
we
sort
of
established
a
set
of
goals.
You
can
see
how
they
sort
of
relate
to
the
pea
format
that
before
goals,
we
established
a
vision-
and
this
is
sort
of
you
know-
a
shortened
version
of
that
we've
already
talked
about
the
intent
here
is
that
the
community
wants
a
healthier
environment.
K
They
want
a
greener
environment,
they
want
more
things
to
see
and
do,
but
they
also
want
to
be
able
to
benefit
from
that
in
terms
of
skills
and
and
workforce
training
and
programs
that
will
improve
the
community
so
that
they're
sort
of
capturing
the
value
added
to
the
district,
the
community
section.
These
are
all
just
politics.
K
You
know
there's
many
many
actions
and
strategies
in
the
plan
I'm
just
leaping
around
a
little
bit
here,
but
this
is
one
that
gets
at
that
issue
of
those
at-risk
families
and
we
had
at
least
one
person
for
Philadelphia
where
they
do
have.
This
program
called
loop,
which
protects
longtime,
owner-occupant
homeowners.
K
So
these
are
people
that
have
been
in
their
homes
for
a
long
time
and
they're,
some
of
which
a
real
risk
of
being
forced
out
of
the
neighborhood
if
the
taxes
go
up
substantially,
and
so
the
idea
that
they
have
in
Philadelphia
that
we're
trying
to
set
up
here
is
that
we
could.
We
could
identify
those
people.
We
can
even
look
at
what
their
incomes
are
to
make
sure
that
they're
they
need
this
help.
But
then
we
can
start
to
sort
of
slow
the
increase
of
taxes
for
them.
C
K
A
little
different,
but
the
one
thing
that
is
similar
to
that
is
that
typically,
these
programs
are
the
least
used
with
people
who
most
need
them.
It's
the
difference
here
is
that
we
would
be
able
to
figure
out
their
taxes
would
still
increase.
What
we'd
be
able
to
do
is
is
slow
that
rate
and
then
potentially
capture
it
when
they
resell
their
house.
So
it's
not
a
loss
of
taxes,
but
we're
sort
of
foregoing
taxes
potentially
for
a
longer
period
of
time.
K
Again
we
don't
want
this
to
be
benefiting.
You
know,
we
don't
want
the
innovation
district.
Part
of
this
didn't
only
be
benefiting
people
that
move
into
the
district.
We
wanted
to
benefit
people
in
the
district,
and
so
this
gets
it
trying
to
develop
programs
so
that
people
in
Uptown
and
the
Hill
District
can
get
into
these
can
have
experience
in
these
startup
spaces
and
with
the
maker
community
and
start
to
sort
of
expand
what
they
there
are
opportunities
and
their
ideas
about
what
they
can
do.
K
We've
talked
about
this
a
little
bit
already,
but
we
want
to
repurpose
that
land
and
put
it
in
active
use.
We
see
many
many
benefits
of
that.
We
have
a
lot
of
institutions
and
community
partners
that
we
want
to
link
up
and
try
to
get
collaborating
more.
So
this
is
sort
of
decane
and
mercy
are
sort
of
represented
here.
There's
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
them
to
be
doing
research
in
the
community
for
their
students
to
be
doing
community
projects.
K
They
do
some
of
that
already,
but
we
could
sort
of
do
a
lot
more
of
that.
So
and
that's
something
that
would
that
is
sort
of
true
in
Oakland
and
Oakland
again,
Pitt
students
do
do
things
in
the
community,
but
there's
you
know
working
together.
We
can
identify
more
opportunities
or
better
opportunities
in
terms
of
what
the
new
development
looks
like.
We
have
a
lot
of
row
houses.
We
have
a
lot
of
apartment,
buildings,
they're
old
apartment
buildings
and
very
old
row
houses.
K
K
When
you
get
older
they're,
not
designed
for
their
design
for
young
families
and
not
for
older
folks,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we've
been
talking
about
in
this
is
how
do
we
create
spaces
that
are
more
conducive
for
senior
living
in
the
neighborhood,
so
that
people
don't
have
to
leave
their
neighborhood
if
just
to
move
into
a
house
that
serves
them
better?
And
so
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we're
working
with
the
community
now
is:
how
do
we
get?
K
How
do
we
bring
that
kind
of
housing
into
the
neighborhood,
and
then
that
opens
up
this
row
house
housing
for
younger
people
who
do
want
to
be
in
that
kind
of
environment
or
seeking
out
that
kind
of
that
kind
of
housing
stock?
This
gets
at.
How
do
we
repurpose
those
buildings?
So
this
is
a.
This
is
an
old
traditional
Pittsburgh
neighborhood,
where
you
have
people
living
right
up
against
where
they
worked.
So
you
have
a
lot
of
old
industrial
buildings
relatively
small
scale,
because
it
was
relatively
small
scale
when
they
built
this
district.
K
How
do
we
a
lot
of
those
buildings,
are
vacant
or
are
basically
used
for
storage?
How
do
we
reactivate
those
spaces
so
that
people
can
be
doing
woodworking
and
and
small-scale
production
and
prototyping
and
starting
to
sort
of
generate
economic
activity
instead
of
just
storing
goods
for
other
parts
of
the
city?
K
This
is
about
actively
improving
that
commercial
corridor.
So
if
you
everyone's,
probably
driven
down
5th
and
Forbes
at
one
point
or
another,
and
you
know
that
it's
not
what
it
used
to
be-
and
you
know
40
or
50
years
ago,
it
was
extremely
vibrant.
There
was
a
lot
going
on.
It
is
not
that
way
anymore,
and
so
we
need
to
actively
do
that
at
the
same
time
that
we
spur
development
in
other
ways.
It
can't
we
can't
just
wait
for
new
development
to
create
all
that
activity.
K
There's
a
there's,
a
market
analysis
in
the
plan
that
sort
of
digs
into
a
lot
more
than
I'm
going
to
do
tonight
in
terms
of
mobility.
Again,
we
sort
of
talked
about
this
earlier,
so
I
don't
want
to
belabor
it,
but
we
think
that
there's
an
opportunity,
especially
with
those
employees
who
are
mostly
driving
to
the
district,
to
get
them
to
think
about
other
modes
of
travel.
K
They
are
often
coming
from
more
suburban
areas,
and
so
we
look
it's
a
little
bit
more
of
a
challenge
to
get
them
out
of
their
cars,
but
doing
that
will
sort
of
overcome
many
of
our
issues.
One
is
they're
creating
most
of
the
congestion
they're,
creating
a
demand
for
parking
and
big
parking
structures.
K
What
that
looks
like
on
the
ground
is
something
that's
called
transportation
demand
management.
So
you
start
to
look
at
the
decisions
that
everyone's
making
and
what
kind
of
tools
you
can
give
them
a
resources
you
can
give
them
so
that
they
don't
make
the
same
decisions.
So
you
know
whether
that
is
what
Pitt
does,
which
is
offer
up.
Subsidized
transit
passes,
which
is
a
really
hugely
valuable
way
to
do.
K
It
is,
if
you
have
free
transit,
it
makes
that
decision
much
easier,
even
little
things
like
making
sure
that
people
are
paying
for
their
parking
every
day,
instead
of
all
at
once
it
for
every
month.
So
if
you
pay
for
all
of
your
parking
for
the
month
on
a
day
to
day
basis,
you
don't
really
need
to
make
a
decision.
K
You've
already
you've
already
got
sunk
costs
in
the
parking,
but
if
every
single
day
you
have
to
decide
whether
it's
worth
it
to
drive
in
or
whether
you're,
fine,
just
taking
the
bus
today
or
riding
your
bike
into
work,
then
every
day
is
a
decision
and
every
opportunity
to
make
a
different
decision.
We
also
think
that
there
are
opportunities.
There's
a
lot
you
know,
cars
have
ruled
this
district
for
far
too
long,
there's
opportunities
for
us
to
clawback,
parts
of
the
street
to
use
for
other
purposes
and
what
you're
seeing
here
is
an
area.
K
K
Seeing
here
is
an
image
of
what
bus
rapid
transit
looks
like
in
Uptown,
it's
supposed
to
look
like
an
uptown,
so
it's
not
just
the
buses
which
are
bus
if
for
people
that
are
totally
unfamiliar
with
them,
their
buses
are
basically
act
like
trains,
they
have
less
stops
if
they
have
more
distance
in
between
their
stops,
so
they
run
faster,
stop
to
stop,
but
they
come
much
more
often.
So,
there's
less
stops
once
you
get
to
one
there's
gonna
be
a
bus
there,
a
lot
more
often
than
there
would
a
normal
normal
bus
route.
K
The
other
thing
is
that
there's
little
ticks
there's
little
tricks
like
making
sure
that
they
have
priority
through
intersections,
giving
them
their
own
lanes
having
people
pay
before
they
got
on
the
bus
so
that
doesn't
slow
down
the
loading
of
the
buses.
The
buses
themselves
often
are
really
impressive
vehicles
in
in
the
case
of
our
bus,
rapid
transit
we've
been
talking
about
electric
vehicles,
so
they
wouldn't
be
loud
and
they
wouldn't
be
contributing
to
their
pollution.
K
But
with
that,
you
get
also
street
trees
and
bio
swells
that
are
treating
the
storm
water
and
you
get
safer
Processing's,
which
is
something
everyone
wants,
and
you
get
separated
bike
lanes
which
everyone
wants.
So
we're
trying
to
sort
of
capture
what
we
can
at
a
bus,
rapid
transit,
because
we're
gonna
get
federal
funding
likely
we're
likely
to
get
federal
funding
for
that,
and
if
not
federal
funding
will
that's
still.
The
numbers
are
huge
for
these
kinds
of
projects,
and
so
adding
things
in
the
benefit.
K
The
community
is
important
infrastructure,
even
though
we
just
felt
like
we're
talking
about
infrastructure,
I'm
sure
in
this
case
we're
talking
about
open
space.
This
is
sort
of
a
near-term
project,
we're
actually
having
a
community
Charette
at
the
end
of
this
month
to
look
at
this
site.
But
this
is
where
Dinwiddie
is
like
this
key
sort
of
flat
connector
street
between
the
hill
district
and
uptown,
and
it
just
so
happens
that
the
URI
owns
the
property
on
the
west
side
of
Dinwiddie
and
the
city
owns
the
property
on
the
east
side
of
Dimity.
K
So
it's
an
art,
it's
a
place
where
we
can
actually
exert
a
lot
of
control
and
we
can
try
to
implement
the
community's
vision
with
a
new
development,
and
so
this
the
Shred
is
around.
What
does
that
look
like?
What
did
we
know
that
we
want
to
have
a
Civic
Plaza
there?
We
know
that
we
want
to
have
a
bus,
rapid
transit,
stop
there.
We
know
that
we
need
to
have
green
infrastructure
there,
because
this
is
an
area
that
floods
too.
But
what
are
the
buildings
look
like
and
what
is
the
in
this
case?
K
We're
also
talking
about
parking
here
which
I'll
get
into
more
later.
But
what
does
the
parking
look
like
and
who
uses
it?
And
then
longer-term?
You
have
projects
like
converting
the
boulevard,
the
Allies
to
a
true
Boulevard,
which
shouldn't
be
that
controversial,
but
it
is
it's
a
you
have
to
surly
stretch
your
mind
to
think
of
that
space
as
what
it
originally
was
designed
to
be
so
it
becomes
Uptown's
waterfront.
So
this
is
going
to
take
a
lot
of
work
right.
You
got
to
work
with
PennDOT,
it's
complicated
to
make
these
projects
happen.
K
We
were
locked
out
because
we
didn't
luck
out,
but
it
was
partially
chosen
because
we
have
Duquesne
University,
who
is
a
real
leader
and
pioneer
in
this,
so
they
generate
most
of
their
own
electricity
and
do
it
renewably.
So
what
could
that
look
like
a
district
scale?
And
so
it's
been
a
great
sandbox
for
trying
this
stuff
out.
K
We
also
benefited
from
having
energy
building
and
new
district
energy
plants,
so
they're
combining
they're,
providing
steam
and
chilled
water
to
buildings,
and
so
when
you're
driving
through
the
district
or
walking
through
district-
and
you
see
all
the
roads
ripped
up
it's
because
of
them.
They
are
connecting
up
their
facility
with
UPMC
Mercy
Mercy
Hospital,
currently
they're
going
to
be
connecting
to
projects
in
the
lower
Hill
and
a
few
other
projects
that
are
coming
online
soon.
K
So
how
can
we
start
to
generate
electricity
in
the
district
that
feeds
the
district
and
how
can
that
actually
reduce
the
energy
burden
or
the
energy
cost
to
residents?
And
then,
finally,
how
do
we
make
all
this
stuff
happen
once
we
finish
the
plant
and
that's
we're
working
on
now,
which
is
you
create
district
governance,
which
is
the
up
10
task
force?
It's
all
the
people
that
we
work
with,
plus
some
new
people
that
we
didn't
work
with
during
the
planning
process,
and
they
run
the
show.
K
Basically,
at
this
point-
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
identified
is
that
there
are
some
gaps
in
terms
of
of
what
kind
of
positions
we
need
to
create
so
that
they
can
actually
do
these
things
and
so
we're
working
with
them
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
fill
those
gaps?
You
know
how
do
we
get
someone
that
knows
how
to
do
real
estate
development
into
one
of
the
community
groups?
K
That
kind
of
thing,
so
we
try
to
cover
the
whole,
not
just
the
planning,
but
also
how
we're
going
to
get
at
the
implementation
and
now
we're
sort
of
testing
that
out
see
how
well
did
we
do
the
first
implementation
project
the
city
is
done
is
rezoning.
The
entire
district
I,
don't
know
how
interested
people
are
in
this,
so
I'm
going
to
go
pretty
faster
this
and
then
you
can
stop
me.
This
is
existing
zoning
in
the
district.
K
We
are
not
going
to
touch
the
educational,
education
and
medical
institutional
district
on
the
left
there,
the
EMI,
but
for
the
rest
of
it
we're
gonna
re,
restructure,
pretty
dramatically
it's
going
to
get
simplified,
it
carves
up
the
district
too
much
in
the
area.
That
sort
of
we
cut
it
down
the
middle
of
Dinwiddie
and
Van
Brahm
on
the
area
east
of
that.
What
you
see
is
what
we
call
the
residential
core,
but
there's
just
not
that
much
of
it
left.
There
are
a
lot
of
commercial
buildings.
K
K
It
is
taller
they're,
mostly
historic,
six
story,
buildings,
a
lot
of
surface
parking
lots
again:
PPG
paints,
Duquesne,
University,
UPMC,
Mercy
or
nearby.
You
have
a
lot
more
surface
parking
than
vacant
land,
there's
very
little
vacant
land.
Here,
it's
mostly
already
mixed
for
Arizona
for
mixed-use
commercial.
What's
going
on
with
those
parking,
lots
is
often
a
question
that
people
have
is
like:
why
aren't
people
building
on
those
and
what
we
when
we
started
talk
to
the
property
owners?
K
What
we
found
is
that
when
they
looked
on
either
side
of
them,
they
saw
a
tower,
so
they
saw
a
Chatham
place
and
they
saw
they
saw
what
is
the
city
View,
Apartments
and
and
and
then,
if
you
look
at
the
buildings
on
the
other
side
of
Duquesne,
they're,
very
tall
buildings,
and
they
assume
that
someone
did
something
today
would
pay
them
for
their
property
or
they
could
develop
those
towers.
But
our
zoning
has
never
allowed
them
to
do
that.
K
Our
zoning
has
only
ever
allowed
for
two
five-story
buildings
that
you
could
expect
in
any
residential
neighborhood
and
so
there's
sort
of
a
separation
between
what
they
were
expecting
and
what
was
happening
and
what
they
were
valuing
their
property
at.
So
no
one
could
ever
offer
them
enough,
because
no
one
could
make
those
buildings
that
would
cost
that
much
that
the
line
would
cost
enough
to
actually
make
worth
feasible
to
happen.
K
So
that's
what's
happening
with
those
buildings
and
parking
is
very
profitable.
They're.
The
new
zoning
is
like
two
basic
zones:
they're,
both
fairly
mixed
use.
One
of
them
is
much
more
intense
than
the
other,
so
on
the
west
side,
where
you're
closer
to
downtown
it's
much
more
similar
to
downtown
zoning
on
the
east
side,
it's
it's
a
mixed
use
zone,
that's
similar
to
to
what
was
there
on
Long
v
but
more
flexible.
There's
a
few
things
that,
through
the
planning
process,
we
knew
that
we
needed
to
sort
of
pull
out
of
the
allowed
uses.
K
So
flexibility
is
key.
Building
height
is
always
the
thing
that
people
are
worried
about
even
more
than
uses
how
tall
the
buildings
gonna
be,
and
what
we
did
here
is
we
capped
the
building
Heights
at
the
same
height
sat
there
today,
but
we
allow
a
bonus
height
above
that
and
then
we're
just
careful
about
what
the
bonuses
are
and
then,
when
we
allow
people
to
bonus
up,
we
want
to
be
able
to
control
what
those
buildings
look
like,
so
that
they're
not
blocking
out
light
and
air
access
to
the
street.
K
So
what
is
what
is
all
that
into
meaning?
This
is
an
example
from
Toronto.
This
is
a
smaller
building.
That
would
be
something
that
we'd
expect
to
see
on
the
east
side
of
the
district,
where
you
have
a
smaller
scale.
Typically,
you
have
mostly
apartment
buildings
on
fifth,
this
building
breaks
up
the
front
of
the
building.
It's
called
articulation.
Typically,
it
doesn't
look
like
one
big
facade
that
sort
of
dominates
the
landscape.
K
It
looks
like
a
bunch
of
little
buildings
and
then
the
other
thing
that
does
is,
after
the
first
four
floors,
it
steps
back
at
least
ten
feet
and
so
we're
trying
that's
the
condition
that
we're
sort
of
zoning
for
right
now
is
buildings
that
do
that.
When
you
stand
at
the
bottom
of
that
glass
building
there,
you
don't
even
see
the
upper
two
floors.
K
So
the
key
thing
there
is
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
are
not
dramatically
changing
the
feel
and
the
character
of
a
street,
even
as
we
are
allowing
buildings
that
are
taller
than
the
existing
buildings.
The
other
thing
I
should
say
is
that
in
these
part
of
the
district,
there
are
already
historic
buildings
that
are
six
plus
storeys
six
or
seven
storeys
they're,
just
not
the
norm.
The
norm
is
more
row,
houses
and
vacancy.
The
other
thing
that
we
wanted
to
do
in
this
district
is
something
that
is
fairly
innovative,
I
think
nationally.
K
We
did
not
do
this
in
Portland,
where
I
was
before
this,
but
is
create
a
really
flexible
bonus
system.
That's
based
entirely
on
the
goals
of
the
community.
So
we
looked
at
the
kid
looked
at
the
plan
with
the
community,
and
we
try
to
figure
out
what
are
the
things
that
we
think
that
private
development
could
make
happen,
and
so
we
arrived
at
these
five
things.
You
know,
energy
efficient
buildings
helps
reduce
the
energy.
The
district
buildings
that
produce
their
own
energy
actually
are
generating
energy
that
can
feed
back
into
the
grid.
K
This
micro
grid
that
we're
talking
about
or
they
we
should
definitely
make
sure
they're
connecting
to
district
energy
and
supporting
district
energy
that
other
people
could
use.
We
want
to
provide
affordable
housing
in
these
new
buildings.
We
want
to
treat
stormwater
with
green
infrastructure
that
has
other
benefits
like
trees
and
just
making
it
feel
better,
and
we
want
to
design
or
reuse
buildings
to
maintain
design,
building
new
buildings
that
look
like
old
buildings
and
and
reuse
buildings
to
make
sure
we're
maintaining
that
character.
K
What
could
that
look
like
on
the
west
side
of
the
district,
where
you
can
get
taller
buildings
much
taller
buildings?
You
could
see
something
like
this,
where
you're
saying
people
it's
a
green
building,
but
it's
also
building
the
treats
its
own
stormwater
and
it
provides
amenities
for
its
residents.
K
So
when
you
take
all
that
together
and
you
look
at
it,
we
sort
of
model
at
the
district
on
the
west
side,
the
district,
we're
willing
to
allow
people
to
use
those
bonuses
to
get
up
to
another
120
feet
so
triple
the
height
of
what
they
would
allow
without
me
to
be
allowed.
Without
the
bonus
the
goal
there
is
to
make
the
bonus
so
attractive
that
they'll
do
it
and
if
they,
the
more
that
they
use
the
bonuses,
the
more
they're
implementing
the
community's
vision
for
the
district.
L
C
G
District,
you
were
talking
about.
A
lot
of
those
homes
are
flat,
roofs,
my
god
did,
did,
has
the
city
as
far
as
the
Hill
District
and
a
lot
of
those
homes
are
flat.
Roofs-
and
you
were
saying,
as
far
as
those
green
roofs
are
creating
a
lot
of
good.
Is
there
something
that
cities
thought
about
as
far
as
approaching,
maybe
some
of
the
long
time
standing
homeowners
that
are
there
and
seeing
if
they
would
be
interested
in
possibly
doing
green
roofs?
So.
K
I
am
NOT,
I
am
not
even
probably
in
the
room,
the
expert
on
eco
roofs,
but
my
understanding
is
that
eco
roofs
actually
put
a
lot
of
load
on
the
roof
of
a
building
and
that
residential
structure
is
particularly
ones
that
are
over
a
hundred
years.
Old
might
not
be
able
to
actually
handle,
even
they
do
have
flat
roofs,
but
a
lot
of
the
industrial
buildings
have
over
built
roofs
right,
they're
built
for
for
the
ability
to
withstand
fire
and
all
sorts
of
things,
so
they
would
be.
G
K
Don't
know
that
there
would
be
for
residents
doing
in
Kerberos
I
think
it
would
be
the
the
opportunities
often
around
the
federal
government
are
related
to
stormwater
management
like
the
sewer
and
water.
Authority
has
to
do
as
a
that's,
what
they
regulate
and
what
they're
responsible
for,
and
so
they
have
money
to
do,
stormwater
projects.
So
far,
it's
been
in
the
right-of-way
on
public
property,
but
they're,
looking
at
as
a
grant
program
whereby
they
could
actually
fund
people
to
do
stormwater
on
their
site
and
one
of
the
places
that
ways
that
they
could
do.
K
H
Okay,
I
don't
want
this
to
be
sort
of
like
a
like
an
interrogated
kind
of
question,
but
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
the
history
of
city
planning
and
I,
really
like
this
vision
of
what
you
have
for
the
potential
of
future
uptown,
but
it
just
for
me.
It's
like
wow,
there's
so
much
that
needs
to
be
done
so
far
as
like
the
green
infrastructure
has
the
city
like.
K
The
same
scale,
that's
an
interesting
question.
There
are
I,
wouldn't
say:
there's
a
similar
vision,
I
think
what's
unique
about
city
planning
right
now
is
that
it's
much
more
community
driven
than
it
ever
was
in
the
past.
Obviously
you
know
there
are
very
obvious
examples
in
the
city
of
when
City
Planning
was
much
more
top-down.
You
know.
The
Civic
Arena
is
a
good
example
of
a
of
a
top-down
process.
Where
you
know,
city
fathers
decided
that
that
this
would
be
best
for
this
area
and
removed
a
whole
part
of
a
neighborhood.
K
More
recently,
though,
where
there
been
more
of
you
know,
more
modern
planning
approach,
I
think
you
know,
North
Shore
is
a
recent
example
of
a
big
vision
for
an
area
that
completely
reshaped
it.
So
the
arenas
and
and
everything
that
you
see
there
is
pretty
much
new
I,
don't
know
if
I'm
just
wondering.
If
Andrew
did
you
hear
that
question
yeah.
B
B
K
I,
don't
know
what
in
particular
interruption
you're
thinking,
but
but
there
are
many
that
are,
you
know
like
an
Amazon
would
be
an
interruption
if
we
had
a
neighborhood
plan
and
then
Amazon
came
into
the
neighborhood.
This
is
not
gonna,
be
that
neighborhood,
but
it's
not
like
I
know
that
much
like
divulging
some
insider
information
there.
K
It's
just
there's
no
place
for
them
in
this
neighborhood,
but
the
goal
with
neighborhood
planning
is
to
be
as
flexible
as
possible
and
to
just
get
you
to
the
right
amount
of
detail
so
that
you
are
not
making
a
bunch
of
foolish
statements
that
in
five
years,
will
seem
hopelessly
out
of
date
and
not
make
any
sense
to
anyone.
The
other
thing
about
the
plans
is
that
you
set
a
timeline.
So
in
this
case
we
set
a
ten-year
timeline.
K
This
plan
expires
in
ten
years,
basically
or
we're
only
planning
for
the
next
ten
years
and
that's
I
think
a
reasonable
period
of
time
for
a
neighborhood
plan.
That's
this
detailed
I
think,
even
as
we
were
going
through,
Planning
Commission,
a
lot
of
the
commissioners
were
asking
like.
Haven't
you
got
too
much
data
in
here
for
a
plan?
That's
gonna
sit
around
for
ten
years,
so
we're
talking.
We've
put
a
lot
of
data
in
this
plan.
K
K
Sometimes
when
you
do
bigger
plans
like
a
comprehensive
plan
for
the
entire
city
that
tries
to
take
into
account
all
the
different
aspects
of
city
development,
you
just
pull
back
and
you
become
less
specific,
so
that
you're,
you
know
a
policy
is
very
broad.
It
doesn't
commit
to
a
specific.
You
know
a
unique
and
specific
outcome
that
could
be
achieved
and
completed
and
done
and
I.
Think
neighborhood
plans
are
at
the
the
nearest
term,
smallest
scale,
where
we
do
try
to
commit
to
specific
things.
K
K
The
goal
is
that
we
are
that
we
are
looking
at
data
that
we
are
looking
at
trends
that
we're
trying
to
do
as
much
forward
thinking
as
we
can
and
we're
and
we're
being
realistic
about
what
can
it
happen,
I
think
often
with
neighborhood
plans.
What
happens
is
that
the
market
moves
much
more
quickly
than
we
think
it
will.
K
Some
of
these
things
that
we're
talking
about
could
happen
very
quickly
if
Amazon
showed
up
in
Pittsburgh,
but
we
don't
plan
based
on
Amazon
showing
up
in
Pittsburgh,
like
you
know,
but
I
think
most
of
these
things
are
quite
practical,
given
what
we
know
today
and
I
think
as
much
as
we
can
do.
Thank
you,
yep
I,
don't
think
I
have
any
more
slides.
This
is
just
the
other
side
of
the
district,
so
here
the
hike
doesn't
get
that
much
taller.
G
This
ain't,
your
window,
being
that
there's
other
parts
of
the
city
that
that
are
needing
to
be
developed.
How
does
that
work,
because
our
the
scheduled
timelines
for
the
development
in
each
area,
the
same
or
other
all
the
projects
run
into
where
the
city
can
focus
with
its
budget,
to
be
able
to
say,
hey
we're
working
in
Uptown,
but
we
want
to
get
sort
of
over
on
the
south
side
with
our
work
yeah.
G
K
A
really
good
question,
and
at
a
point
that
I
did
not
cover,
is
what
are
these
plans
mean
right
like
so
who
implements
these
plans,
and
the
answer
is
that
much
of
it
is
not
us
doing
it.
So
a
lot
of
the
work
that
City
Planning
does-
and
this
is
true
in
every
city-
is
that
we
work
with
the
community
and
these
community
partners
to
establish
a
vision
and
sort
of
a
work
plan
for
them
to
do
for
the
next
10
years.
K
There
are
certain
aspects
of
this
like
rezoning,
the
district
that
obviously
only
we
can
do.
There
are
other
aspects
of
it
like
rebuilding,
5th
and
Forbes,
and
putting
a
buffer
but
Ran's
that
only
the
Department
of
mobility
infrastructure
and
the
Port
Authority
can
do.
But
a
huge
amount
of
this
planning
work
is
around
trying
to
organize
the
community
around
what
its
goals
and
visions
are,
so
that
they
are
actually
implementing
this
vision,
and
we
are
not
so
we
will.
K
You
know
I
think
the
goal
is
that
we
have
a
role
and
that
we
help
where
we
can,
but
that,
ultimately,
this
plan
is
owned
by
the
community
and
they
are
the
ones
implementing
it,
and
so
we
can
move
on
to
another
community
and
plan
for
that
community,
whether
they
don't
need
to
be
all
synched
up.
There's
no
need,
for
you
know
this
one
to
run
from
10
years
from
2017
to
20.
27
is
fine.
If
you
know
the
next
neighborhood
plan
runs
from
2019
to
2029.
It
doesn't
that
there's
no
importance
in
that.
K
G
I
was
just
wondering
about
do
now:
funding
is
and,
and
budgets
have
become,
a
major
part
of
the
city
as
far
as
funds
coming
in
and
the
federal
administration
doesn't
seem
like
they
want
to
give
more
money
to
development
after
leaving
what
we
heard
at
the
URA.
It's
just
curious
thing
with
this.
People
need
growth
and
help
and
develop
in
their
communities,
and
it's
like
we
can
give
you
the
plan.
But
what
are
you
gonna
do
from
there
right,
yeah.
K
K
You
know
that
sort
of
thing
is
going
through
in
the
background
of
this
kind
of
planning
process,
so
you'll
see
a
lot
less
reliance
on
federal
funds
to
do
what
we
try
to
do
in
this
plan
and
I
think
that
will
also
be
true:
private
public
partnerships,
finding
other
funding
strategies
and
and
there's
a
big
Parshin
of
the
portion
of
the
plan.
That's
trying
to
come
up
with
new
and
innovative
funding
mechanisms,
and
some
of
these
most
of
these
would
be
citywide.
K
So
I
would
say:
different
groups
are
doing
it
differently,
so,
like
the
sewer
and
water
authority
is
working
on
one
way
to
fund
stormwater
each
group
has
each
department
has
their
different
focus,
and
so
there
they're
sort
of
thinking
about
how
they
can
fund
their
parts
of
it
in
the
current
environment
or
and
what
the
predicted
environment
is.
One
of
the
things
that
we
talked
a
lot
about
in
here
is
is
a
tax
increment
district,
that's
related
to
transit
or
transit
investment.
So
it's
a
trade,
and
so
how
can
we?
K
We
know
that
transit
increases
the
value
of
property
wherever
it
goes,
that
people
want
to
develop
there
and
people
to
live
there,
and
so
how
do
we
capture
the
value
added
to
these
projects
so
that
we
can
fund
more
investment
in
that
neighborhood?
It's
really
complicated
I.
Don't
pretend
to
understand
it
to
the
level
that
you
know
that
I
would
need
to
be.
Conversing
is
first
to
dig
into
it,
but
in
this
district
it's
looking
like
that,
would
take
a
couple
different
phases
to
actually
work
out.
M
Hi
I
live
in
Squirrel,
Hill
North,
which
is
the
area
closest
to
the
universities,
and
so
since
all
the
and
so
it's
a
community,
that's
interspersed
between
people
living
in
the
homes
they
own
and
then
rental
properties,
where
mostly
students
are
maybe
people
that
work
at
the
hospitals
whatever.
So
since
all
the
apartments
went
in
at
bakery
square,
a
nice
Liberty
and
like
every
time
you
turn
around,
like
500
new
apartments
are
getting
built.
M
What
happened
this
year
for
the
very
first
year
is
that
there
are
a
lot
of
vacancies
in
Squirrel,
Hill
north,
like
in
the
past,
a
landlord
would
put
out
a
sign
in
April
would
go
down
in
May
now
there
are
many
places
that
are
still
vacant
from
April,
so
I
wondered
whenever
somebody
gives
the
permits
or
I
mean
I'm,
not
a
landlord.
So
I'm
not
asking
this
personally
but
I
I,
wonder
about
those
landlords,
I
wonder
about
kind
of
who
has
their
back
and
what
their
plans
would
then
be.
M
K
K
They
just
recently
lost
their
grocery
store
and
one
of
the
reasons
they
lost
the
Gir
store
is
that
the
grocery
store
couldn't
make
it
through
the
summer
cycle.
When
there
was
no
one
there
to
eat
food,
so
they
need.
You
know
what
they
have
is
like
a
very
transient
population,
what
they
wanted
to
stabilize
it.
But
if
you
wanted
to,
if
you
had
a
family
and
you
wanted
to
move
in
Oakland,
you
had
very
limited
opportunities
to
do
that.
K
K
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
put
people
put
increased
densities
around
areas
where
people
have
good
access
to
transit
and
other
ways
to
get
around,
and
so
fifth
and
Forbes
for
us
is
a
better
place
for
people
to
live
then
further
afield,
where
they
have
to
drive,
and
so
when
we
look
at
an
area
like
that,
we
would
see,
see
it
as
beneficial
to
increase
density
there
to
create
more
apartment
buildings
and
those
apartment.
Buildings
will
attract
different
people
and
they
will
attract
a
lot
of
students.
K
They
have
amenities
to
offer
that
the
row
houses
don't
and
then
the
row
houses
could
be
used
by
could
return
back
to
owner
occupants
again.
If
the
market
demands
it
or
they
could
be
converted,
you
know
to
some
other
use,
but
I
don't
think
that
we
see
that
as
a
problem
necessarily
or
that
we're
worried
about
what
the
land
you
know,
the
people
that
owned
five
or
ten
houses
are
doing
when
the
market
demand
isn't
there
for
their
house.
I.
K
Think
they'll
figure
out
you
know,
especially
in
the
case,
if
they
have
a
whole
house,
they've
been
renting
out,
I
think
they'll
they'll
figure
it
out
just
like
the
people
that
develop
in
the
apartment
buildings
are
figuring
it
out.
For
us,
it's
important
that
we
have
people
in
density,
increasing
where
we
have
access
to
transit
and
other
resources
that
people
need
so.
M
K
K
N
K
Repeat
where
pre
preparing
we
knew
we
had
foresight
five
years
ago,
no
I
mean
we,
don't
we
don't
the
market,
the
market
sort
of
regulates
itself
and
the
and
the
financing
follows
what
people
think
is.
You
know
people
that
know
a
lot
more
about
these
things
than
the
planners
do
often
about
what
is
going
to
be
profitable,
they're
looking
for
profit
they're
not
going
to
build
a
building
to
have
it
sit,
empty
and
so
I.
K
Don't
think
that
we
think
that
we're
brighter
than
them
and
knowing
what's
feasible
and
what's
not,
we
do
get
concerned,
and
we
do
studies
to
figure
out
when
we
think
the
market
is
going
to
over
produce
something
because
that,
inevitably,
that
is
where
you
end
up,
is
that
the
market
does
over
produce
something,
and
then
everyone
stops
building
that,
and
you
have
you
know,
apartments
that
sit
on
the
market.
But
again,
that's
also
part
of
the
way
the
market
works.
Okay,.
O
O
O
Move
people
out
now
they're
putting
a
new
housing
development
in
where
the
old
Civic
Arena
was
it
was
just
I.
Think
it's
approved
last
week,
there's
going
to
be
20%
quote:
affordable
housing,
we
don't
know
what
affordable
means,
but
they've
kicked
all
these
people
out
and
they're
not
going
to
be
able
to
move
back
in.
Do
you
have
anything
to
do
with
that
at
all?
Who
so.
F
Yes,
so
what
happened
last
week
wasn't
actually
an
approval
for
the
housing
and
I
did
was
a
I
think
it
was
a
ura
action
they
will
have.
So
there
is
an
approved
master
plan
for
that
development
site.
At
this
point,
the
only
approved
project
was
that
office
building
where
they
haven't
moved
forward
with
that
application.
So
we
actually
haven't
received
an
application
for
the
new
housing.
Yet,
but
yes,
it
will
come
through
our
office
for
Design
Review
transportation
review.
F
It
will
ultimately
come
to
Planning
Commission
again
in
this
room
public
forum,
for
anybody
to
make
a
comment
and
ideally
the
the
housing
should
meet
the
master
plan
that
was
approved
back
in
2013
I
ish
for
that
development
site.
So
yeah
we
will
there.
There
is
an
approved
plan
on
file
for
that
site,
and
so
we
will
any
applications
will
come
through
our
office,
a
development
review
you
obviously
the
neighborhood.
They
were
planning
and
everybody
input
will
be
in
a
process
as
well
on
that
we
turned
it
back
over
you
for
neighborhood
stuff,
sure.
K
So
you
have
you
covered
PL
DP.
You
covered
the
zoning
yeah,
so
there
was
a
community
process
around
that
the
pl
DP
is
the
community
process
around
that
and
the
goal
of
all
the
development
that
happens
there.
At
least
our
goal
for
the
development
happens.
There
is
that
it's
consistent
with
that
community
vision
for
the
area.
It's
like
a
mini
neighborhood
plan.
I
guess
we've
just
been
talking
about
neighborhood
plans
for
a
long
time.
So
that's
the
that's
the
goal
with
that
kind
of
with
a
pl
DP.
K
O
K
I
think
20%
is
what's
in
the
agreement,
though,
isn't
it
yeah
so
well
yeah,
so
there
was
I
mean
a
negotiated
agreement
at
the
time
and
yet
not
everyone.
It's
a
negotiation.
Another
one
gets
exactly
what
they
want
out
of
that,
but
but
that's
the
agreement
that
they're
being
held
to
legally
there
are
there
are
there
is
a
community
vetting
process
for
all
that
too,
so
so
I
think
it
was
a.
You
know
from
an
out
completely
outsider's
perspective
on
that,
because
it
happened
well
before
I
got
here.
K
It
seems
like
it
was
a
fairly
careful
and
deliberative
process.
I,
don't
know
how
people
actually
feel
about.
You
know
like
what
kind
of
feelings
people
had
about
it,
who
are
actually
involved
in
it
at
that
point,
but
there
are
definitely
opportunities
for
the
community
to
engage
with
that
and
with
anything
future
that
comes
about
on
that
area.
The
intent
is
that
that
site
would
be
redeveloped
as
soon
as
possible.
K
D
E
Hill
District
currently
is
considered
a
certain
cultural
identity,
but
historically,
if
you
go
back
like
40
years
or
so,
there
were
other
ethnic
groups
there
that
were
somewhat
entrenched
and
and
so
forth
how
much
recognition?
How
much
room
is
there
for
recognition?
If,
if
the
groups
that
had
been
there
before
would
like
to
re-establish
an
identity
there,
would
it
be?
Well,
you
know
this
we're
this
and
we
used.
You
know
we
used
to
have
this
here
and
so
on,
and
so
this
is
what
we
would
like
to
do,
or
is
it
well
too
bad?
K
It's
an
interesting
question:
I
mean
and
it
I
guess
it
gets
I!
Guess
it.
You
know
the
question
is
when
you
say,
reassert
their
influence
or
reassert
their
history.
Yeah
I,
don't
think
any
I
think
I
think
that
people
recognize
that
in
the
Hill
District
today
and
I
think
that
it
may
not
be
as
recognized
as
the
more
recent
African
American
history
of
the
district.
K
But
you're
right
I
mean
it's
something
that
isn't
you
don't
see
as
many
plaques
telling
you
about
what
was
there
before.
Actually
my
own
little
story
is
that
after
I
moved
here,
I
found
out
that
my
grandma
was
born
in
the
Hill
District.
They
were,
they
were
Russian
Jews
and
they
they
immigrated
into
the
hill
district
and
spent
at
least
her
first
12
years
of
her
life
there.
K
So,
like
yeah,
there's
a
long
history
of
the
hill
district
and
a
fascinating
history,
I
think
one
of
the
conversations
actually
that's
been
coming
out
of
some
of
the
community
planning
work
around
Bedford
choice,
which
is
I'm,
not
gonna,
go
into
the
foot
bed
for
choices
actually,
but
it's
it's
a
planning
project
around
some
affordable
housing
building
work
that's
going
on
is
how
do
we
start
to
sort
of
capture
and
express
history
and
a
better
way?
That's
more
obvious,
because
even
within
the
african-american
community,
young
people
don't
necessarily
feel
a
connection
to
that
history
anymore.
K
A
lot
of
the
buildings
are
gone.
A
lot
of
the
obvious
signs
of
what
has
happened
there
or
not
there
and
so
I.
Think
that's
an
area
where
that
could
come
back
is,
as
we
start
to
reexpress
and
look
figure
out
ways
with
public
art
and
with
new
buildings
that
we
can
express
the
history
that's
been
lost,
it
could
be.
It
could
be
a
nuanced
history
that
get
captured.
You
know
the
entire.
You
know
200
year,
history
of
that
district,
all
right.
Thank
you.
My.
P
Name
is
Afton
Giles
and
sustainability
coordinator
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
One
of
the
things
that
we
care
about
sustained
and
sustainability
is
very
much
the
health
of
humans
in
their
space
and
in
their
place,
including
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
which
is
why
we
do
what
we
do
just
to
go
over
a
little
bit
about
our
office.
P
I'm,
a
senior
sustainability
coordinator,
I
have
a
counterpart
who
is
the
senior
resilience
coordinator,
and
we
also
have
a
resilience,
analyst
and
she's
a
person
who
does
a
lot
of
the
number-crunching
and
grant
irving.
Who
is
our?
Who
is
one
of
the
deputy
directors
of
planning
he's?
Also
our
direct
report
as
the
chief
resilience
officer,
so
Pittsburgh
has
a
very,
very
long
history
with
sustainability.
P
Even
though
it's
a
relatively
new
office
that
was
founded
in
2008,
you
can
see
that
we
go
back
easily
to
the
1800s
in
terms
of
the
decision
making
with
regards
to
sustainability,
and
a
lot
of
that
is
due
to
our
past
with
the
environment.
I
guess
you
all
probably
know
by
now
the
history
of
Pittsburgh
with
the
steel
industry
and
with
having
something
like
steel,
which
was
great
for
the
economy
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
At
our
height
we
had
about
600,000
people
here
in
the
city.
P
P
They
had
to
keep
kids
out
of
school
because
they
literally
can't
breathe
in
the
city
right
now.
So
where
do
we
fit
in
the
office
sustainability?
We
have
had
a
few
lives
since
2008
I
started
off
actually
working
as
part
of
the
mayor's
office
in
2008,
and
then
we
were
moved
to
the
office
of
I'm.
P
Sorry
were
moved
to
the
Department
of
innovation
in
performance
and
we
were
renamed
from
the
office
of
sustainability
and
energy
efficiency
to
the
office
of
sustainability
and
in
performance,
and
then
now
were
actually
have
been
moved
into
planning
as
the
Division
of
sustainability
and
resilience.
So
why
so
many
moves
some?
Why
so
many
changes
a
lot
of
it
has
to
do
with
the
focuses
of
the
office
when
we
first
came
in,
and
sustainability
was
brand
new.
P
It
also
gave
us
the
ability
to
have
a
better
top-down
impact
with
regards
to
the
different
departments
that
we
were
going
to
be
charged
with
working
with
when
you
say
that
hey
I'm
from
the
mayor's
office-
and
this
is
what
we
need
you
to
do-
it
gives
you
a
lot
more
behind
what
you
need
to
do,
then,
if
you're
coming
from
a
different
division
and
trying
to
work
your
way
back
up
now
that
we
are
more
institutionalized
within
the
city,
we're
able
to
be
more
effective
as
a
division
of
planning,
because
a
lot
of
what
we're
doing
now
is
trying
to
integrate
sustainability
into
a
lot
of
the
plans
that
we're
doing
you
guys
already
heard
about
the
eco
district.
P
So
we
our
office,
how
to
how
to
roll
in
that
application
and
and
determining
all
the
different
factors
that
we
need
to
think
about
that
need
to
that
regard
with
regards
to
human
health
with
regards
to
infrastructure,
water
infrastructure,
energy
and
that
needed
to
go
into
that
plan
so,
and
it's
also
included
in
the
slide
deck
as
an
opportunity
to
say
that
we
are
flexible
as
a
local
government,
nothing
is
static,
it
doesn't
have
to
stay
in
one
place.
You
know
you
can
move
it
around.
P
You
can
move
around
the
pieces
as
we
glow
it
growing
as
we
change
as
an
institution,
so
the
actual
office
of
sustainability
and
resilience.
So,
like
I
said
we
have
our
chief
resilience
officer,
which
is
grant
Irving
and
then
under
them.
We
have
my
side
of
it,
which
is
sort
of
the
sustainability
side.
P
You
have
the
other
side
of
it,
which
is
the
resilient
side.
So
both
of
us
have
very
similar
roles,
with
the
exception
that
my
role
I
worry
a
lot
about
not
only
the
external
impacts
of
sustainability,
how
sustainability
impacts
the
actual
environment
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
but
I
also
play
a
lot
of
role,
a
strong
role
in
worrying
about
how
the
city
as
an
organization
operates
with
regards
to
sustainability.
So
looking
at
our
city
owned
facilities,
you
know:
are
we,
sir?
P
How
are
we
serving
the
people
that
work
there
that
have
to
work
there
every
day
as
well
as
the
neighborhoods?
Can
we
do
some
infrastructure
projects
like
changing
our
electricity
shifting
from
the
t8
s
that
we
have
into
more
efficient
LEDs,
which
ultimately
saves
money,
saves
energy,
so
I
have
sort
of
a
dual
role
of
worrying
about
the
internal
operations
of
the
city,
as
well
as
some
of
the
external
external
sustainability
factors
and
on
the
resilience
side
sort
of
opposite.
P
So
what
exactly
do
we
do?
What
do
we
care
about
so,
of
course,
we
care
about
the
improvement
of
our
city
of
our
facilities.
We
care
about
ecology.
Of
course
we
care
about
the
environment,
the
actual
physical
ecological
environment,
the
plants,
the
animals
we
care,
obviously
about
the
quality
of
life.
You
know
we
are
humans,
we
want
to
live
here.
P
We
enjoyed
this
planet,
we
want
to
stay
on
this
planet,
we
want
to
stay
in
this
region
and
in
the
city,
of
course,
leadership
is
really
important
to
us,
making
sure
that
we
are
always
setting
an
example
of
how
things
should
potentially
be
if
it
was
essentially
a
perfect
world.
We
care
about
prosperity.
P
We
want
people
to
continue
to
live
in,
Pittsburgh
continue
to
move
to,
Pittsburgh
continue
to
want
to
be
here
and
we
care
about
resilience
so
making
sure
that
we're
able
to
withstand
the
shocks
and
stresses
as
they
come
upon
us,
making
sure
that
we
can
actually
continue
to
stand
as
a
city
and
what
are
our
values.
So
we
already
talked
about
the
p4
initiatives.
Well,
this
is
p4
people
place
planet
and
performance,
so
these
are
the
values
that
we
care
about.
P
On
a
daily
and
day-to-day
basis,
when
we're
coming
up
with
our
evaluations
for
how
the
planet
or
how
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
is
performing,
how
our
operations
are
performing
and
what
types
things
we
should
be
doing,
project
wise
in
order
to
make
these
factors
better-
and
these
are
some
of
the
different
resilience
objectives.
So
some
of
the
things
that
we
care
about
with
regards
to
the
people
place
planet
and
profit.
P
We
clear
we
care
about
water
efficiency,
we
care
about
local
renewables,
we
care
about
housing,
we
care
about
health,
we
care
about
food,
transportation,
entrepreneurship,
there's
a
lot
of
things
on
that
wheel
and
some
shape
or
form
resilience
and
sustainability
touches
really
all
of
them,
so
we're
pretty
busy
we're
off
for
often
not
in
the
office
actually,
because
we're
usually
at
meetings
or
or
well
use,
yeah
yeah,
usually
at
meetings.
Actually,
this
is
the
first
week
that
all
of
us
have
been
back
in
the
office.
P
Big
sans
grant
who's
actually
in
Germany
right
now,
and
so
how
do
we
do
this?
There's
a
lot
of
ways
that
we
can
impact
and
we
can
influence
what
goes
on
with
regards
to
city
operations.
So
one
of
the
biggest
things
and
the
best
things
that
we're
able
to
do
is
to
convene
so
we're
able
to
convene
were
able
to
coordinator
or
were
able
to
facilitate
so
bringing
the
right
groups
of
people
together
in
a
room
to
have
a
discussion
to
talk
about
what
needs
to
be
done.
P
That's
probably
the
one
of
the
best
things
that
we
were
able
to
do
and
what
we
do
the
best
we
are
able
to
create
regulation
and
influence
policy.
So
once
all
those
people
have
had
a
chance
to
be
in
the
room
and
have
had
a
way
to
say
what
they
need
to
say,
we're
able
to
take
those
words
and
take
those
thoughts
and
ideas
and
create
it
into
a
policy
or
some
sort
of
regulation
that
can
be
enacted
and
impact
to
impact
the
local
environment.
We're
able
to
set
an
example.
P
So
if
there's
a
project
that
somebody
wants
to
do,
but
they've
maybe
never
done
before,
we
can
do
a
test
project
essentially
so
that
we
can
see
how
it
works
and
if
it
doesn't
work,
you
know
we're
able
to
to
make
those
changes
for
the
next
for
the
next
go-around
we're
able
to
influence
internal
and
external
investments.
So
a
lot
of
the
decisions
that
we
do
as
a
city
were
able
to
to
impact,
doesn't
Amazon
come
here.
You
know.
P
Should
this
neighborhood
be
this
way
we're
able
to
set
an
example,
we're
able
to
exert
that
influence
and
that
decision-making?
We
can
present
case
studies
and
do
research
on
it.
So
we
have
the
three
of
myself
Sarah
Rebecca.
All
of
us
have
a
background
in
research,
have
good
higher
education
background,
so
we're
able
to
go
out
and
do
search.
P
That
needs
to
be
done,
and
if
we
can't
do
it
in-house,
we
can
usually
outsource
that
research
to
be
done
through
grants
or
some
other
some
other
entity,
and
so
we're
able
to
communicate
so
making
sure
that
we're
going
to
your
community
and
making
sure
that
you
know
about
what's
going
on.
If
you
guys
want
us
to
come
in
to
do
a
presentation,
we've
done
presentations
here
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
We
do
presentations
literally
around
the
world.
P
So
the
strategies
push
this
forward
existing
actions
and
supplements
with
new
initiatives.
So
this
is
actually
not
my
slide,
so
one
that
I
borrowed
from
Rebecca,
but
this
is
just
sort
of
the
idea
of
some
of
the
ways
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
newest
and
best
and
brightest
ideas
with
regards
to
sustainability
resilience
are
being
pushed
through.
So
we
can
initiate
an
idea.
We
can
coordinate
it
to
make
sure
that
it
happens.
P
We
can
amplify
it
to
make
sure
that
it
gets
out
to
other
people
and
we
can
accelerate
it
to
make
sure
that
it
happens
hopefully
faster,
especially
if
it's
a
good
idea
and
some
of
the
current
goals
within
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
So
these
are
our
actual
sustainability
and
resilience
goals
and
before
I
actually
go
through.
That
I
should
actually
talk
about
the
difference
between
sustainability
and
resents.
Does
anybody
know
when
I
hear
sustainability?
Does
anybody
think
they
know
what
sustainability
is?
Yes,.
H
P
Q
P
P
The
Paris
agreements
is
is
the
agreement
that
all
of
the
large
nationalities
from
around
the
world
came
together
to
talk
about
climate
change
and
they
recognize
the
fact
that
if
we
don't
do
something
about
it,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
emissions
issues
that
we
have
now
are
only
going
to
get
worse.
Essentially,
so
they
came
together
and
they
set
forth
a
plan
saying
that
we're
going
to
come
together
as
a
country
and
try
to
make
these
make
a
reduction
in
climate
in
our
and
our
climate
impacts.
P
Essentially,
so
that's
essentially
what
the
Paris
agreements
were
and
as
of
now,
we
are
the
only
country
officially
I,
think
as
of
this
week.
That
is
not
part
of
the
Paris
agreements
because
of
taken
Oh,
Nicaragua,
sorry,
but
I
thought
that
they
did,
but
maybe
not
sorry
Syria
but
Syria
joined.
Actually
they
just
recently
joined.
So
we
are
officially.
P
Okay
stands
possibly
Nicaragua,
one
of
the
only
countries
who
are
not
part
of
this
agreement
for
right
now,
but
that
could
potentially
change,
because
we
actually
can't
officially
pull
out
of
the
Paris
agreement
until
let's
see
and
I
think
it's
a
four
year
agreement.
Actually,
so
we
can't
officially
pull
out
until
it's
time
for
Trump
to
get
president
Trump
to
get
reelected.
P
So
so
we'll
see
what
happens
with
that.
But
that's
where
we
are
for
right
now,
but
anyway,
our
our
goals
include
becoming
having
entire
city
run
by
off
of
a
hundred
percent
renewable
energy
source
supply
by
reducing
our
energy
consumption
by
50%,
by
reducing
our
water
consumption
by
50%
by
becoming
by
having
a
100%
fossil
fuel
free
fleet.
P
So
that's
with
regard
to
the
city's
own
vehicles,
not
your
own
personal
vehicles,
so
our
city,
owned
vehicles,
running
off
of
a
hundred
percent
fall
so
feel
free
flee
having
a
hundred
percent
of
our
waste
diverted
from
landfill
and
50%
of
our
citywide
transportation.
Greenhouse
gas
reduce
emissions
reduced.
So
that's
bringing
in
things
like
electric
buses
transitioning
to
natural
gas
vehicles,
which
is
a
fossil
fuel,
but
it
is
less.
It
produces
less
greenhouse
gas
emissions
than
the
current
vehicles
which
run
on
particularly
on
diesel,
and
then
we
had
the
what
we
call.
P
What
we're
calling
the
trunk
bump,
basically,
which
is
where
the
mayor
actually
upped
the
ante,
and
he
said
that
he
wanted
to
increase
that
100%
renewable
energy
supply
for
our
city
own
buildings,
to
not
just
be
for
city-owned
buildings,
but
actually
the
entire
city
of
Pittsburgh.
So
that's
what
we're
striving
to.
So
it's
a
lot
to
strive
to
how
in
the
world
are
we
going
to
do
all
this
right?
So
how
are
we
gonna?
Do
it
through
projects
through
projects
through
planning
through
trial
and
through
era?
P
Really,
so
some
of
the
projects
that
we
started
with
are
we're
already
working
on
our
streetlight
replacements.
I'm,
not
sure,
have
you
guys
gone
through
the
business
districts
and
seen
a
lot
of
the
new
streetlights
that
have
gone
in
they're
much
much
brighter
than
the
ones
that
are
in
the
residential
districts?
If
you
guys
have
noticed
those
that
was
one
of
the
first
phases,
the
second
phase
is
actually
bringing
those
streetlights
into
the
residential
areas
as
well.
P
They
help
to
increase
public
safety
greatly,
especially
at
night,
and
they
also
help
to
reduce
glare
at
night
as
well.
So
when
you're
driving
down
you're
able
to
throw
out
a
much
more
cohesive
stream
of
Lighting's
instead
of
having
the
light
dark
light
dark
light
dark
which
is
actually
pretty
hard
on
your
eyes,
particularly
when
you're
driving
at
night
and
they're
actually
much
more
energy
efficient
since
their
LEDs.
Now
so
they
use
a
fraction
of
the
energy
and
they
last
technically
LEDs
last
forever.
They
just
get
dimmer.
P
So
you
know
when
an
LED
is
ready
to
change,
not
because
it
goes
out,
but
because
it's
dim
and
it's
hard
to
see
the
light.
So
yes
and
they're
they're,
actually
recyclable
and
they're
also
easier
on
your
waste
stream
as
well,
just
because
they
last
so
long
City
facility,
optimization
plans.
P
So,
for
the
first
time,
in
a
really
really
long
time,
the
city
has
looked
at
all
of
its
city-owned
facilities
and
done
an
evaluation
and
on
their
performance
so
and
trying
to
determine
what
type
of
upgrades
they
need
to
make
sure
that
they're
able
to
be
there
and
to
be
stabilized
for
the
next
twenty
thirty
years,
we've
looked
at
things
like
roof
replacements.
We
looked
at
things
like
lighting
replacements.
We've
looked
at
things
like
water
damage.
P
We've
looked
at
just
all
the
different
aspects
of
a
building
to
try
to
make
it
better
so
that
people
are,
you
know,
can
enjoy
their
senior
centers
for
a
lot
longer
to
come,
whether
they're
community
centers.
Let's
see
we've
done
energy
audits,
we've
done
Metro
21,
which
isn't
an
opportunity
for
us
to
work.
Do
a
public/private
partnership
with
the
universities
in
order
to
bring
some
of
the
best
technology
to
try
it
out
within
our
city.
P
These
are
some
other
projects
that
we've
done
and
one
of
the
most
notable
is
the
Pittsburgh
climate
action
plan,
so
we're
on
our
third
climate
action
plan.
It
just
went
public
last
month
and
right
now
we're
in
the
comment
period
for
it.
So
if
you
guys
want
to
take
some
time,
go
online
check
it
out,
it's
Pittsburgh,
PA
gov,
slash
sustainability,
you
can
it.
You
can
download
our
climate
action
plan
and
see
all
the
different
things
that
are
in
that
are
that
are
part
of
it.
P
So
it's
it's
a
plan
that
deals
with
reducing
the
emissions
citywide
with
regards
to
our
buildings,
our
energy,
our
waste,
our
transportation,
our
food
and
Agriculture's,
as
well
as
our
carbon
sequestration.
The
goals
of
the
climate
action
plan
are,
to
reduce
emissions
term,
improve
resiliency,
to
increase
innovation,
to
foster
leadership,
to
promote
workforce
development,
to
introduce
economic
opportunities
within
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
So
one
of
the
other
big
projects
that
we've
had
that
started
as
of
last
year's
with
the
city
energy
project.
P
So
the
goal
of
the
city
energy
project
is
to
work
within
city
operations
in
order
to
impact
energy
efficiency
within
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
One
of
the
first
things
that
came
out
of
that
was
our
building
transparency,
ordinance,
which
is
the
requirement
that,
starting
next
year,
commercially
owned
buildings
that
are
50,000
square
feet
and
above
report,
their
energy
usage
to
us
on
an
annual
basis.
So
why
is
this
important?
P
And
why
should
we
care
so
our
commercial
buildings
used
by
far
more
energy
than
just
about
anybody
else
within
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
with
regards
to
electricity,
and
it
makes
for
a
very
fragile
grid,
so
an
energy
grid
where
anytime,
we're
in
a
peak
environment
where
it's
90
degrees,
everybody's
running,
their
air
conditioning,
everybody
has
their
lights
on.
Full-Blast
people
are
at
work
and
the
grid
goes
down.
You
have
a
brown
out.
P
You
have
a
black
out,
so
we
want
to
be
able
to
prevent
things
like
that
from
happening
by
getting
commercial
buildings
to
make
the
upgrades
necessary
to
reduce
their
energy.
That
starts
with
actually
knowing
how
much
your
energy
usage
is,
which
a
lot
of
our
commercial
buildings,
some
of
them
know
some
of
them
don't
know.
P
So
one
of
the
things
that
they're
going
to
be
able
to
do
is
make
sure
that
they
do
know
and
know
exactly
how
much
energy
that
they're,
using
so
that
they'll
be
able
to
make
moves
necessary
to
reduce
that
energy
to
reduce
that
energy,
so
that
they're,
better
performing
buildings
when
PGH
is
another
one
of
our
huge
plans.
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
guys
it
has
anybody
heard
about
one
PGH
or
the
resiliency
plan
for
pittsburgh.
P
Okay,
one
person,
two
people-
okay,
great,
so
one
PGH-
is
a
long-term
plan
that
we
have
done
to
evaluate
the
resilience
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
So
we
won
a
grant
two
years
ago
through
the
Rockefeller
that
was
produced
to
the
Rockefeller
Foundation
called
call
100
resilient
cities,
and
it
is
a
grant
that
gave
us
the
opportunity
to
really
evaluate
where
pittsburgh
stands
with
regards
to
resilience.
So
if
the
next
hurricane
sandy
somehow
hit
Pittsburgh,
what
would
we
do
and
how
would
we
overcome
that?
We
didn't
know?
P
We
didn't
have
an
answer
for
that,
so
being
able
to
work
with
100
resilient
cities.
We've
had
the
opportunity
to
think
about
these
things
and
where
we
stand
with
regards
to
our
ability
to
respond
to
emergency
situations
that
are
a
result
of
particularly
climate
change,
so
flooding
tornadoes
hurricanes,
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we
in
Pittsburgh
have
the
pleasure
of
necessarily
of
not
necessarily
I'm
dealing
with,
but
the
flooding
for
sure
we
definitely
do
deal
with.
P
P
It's
a
one
time
earthquake
that
shakes
and
then
it's
over
a
stress
is
something
that's
sort
of
a
long
nagging
pain
that
continually
sort
of
irritates
the
city
process
or
irritates
what's
going
on
within
the
city,
so
some
of
the
stresses
we
identified
the
biggest
ones
were
economic
and
equity
so
and
racial
inequality.
So
that's
one
of
the
big
things
that
was
identified
as
an
issue
within
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
Our
aging
infrastructure
is
a
huge
problem.
P
We
are
a
very,
very
old
historic
city
as
far
as
the
United
States
goes
not
as
far
as
the
world
goes,
but
we
haven't
put
a
lot
of
investment
in
our
infrastructure
over
the
course
of
the
last
100
years
or
so
that
we've
been
around.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
inefficiency.
Is
that
whether
our
with
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
with
regards
to
infrastructure
that
we
really
need
to
get
a
handle
on?
P
To
the
point
where
we
also
didn't
have
the
tax
base
to
help
to
support,
to
continue
to
keep
our
city
going
and
we're
just
now
sort
of
recovering
from
a
lot
of
that
to
where
we
can
start
putting
that
investment
back
into
our
aging
infrastructure
and
start
growing
again,
fragmentation
again,
we
lost
half
of
our
population,
so
bringing
our
city
back
together.
One
of
the
things
that
we
love
about
city
is
our
the
uniqueness
of
our
communities,
but
at
the
same
time,
how
can
we
make
sure
that
those
communities
still
are
interconnected
as
a
city?
P
So
we
can
operate
better,
so
the
value
of
being
part
of
the
100
resilient
cities?
Network
is
really
the
resources
that
it
provides
to
us.
So
a
lot
of
the
things
that
you
know.
We
are
not
experts
on
I'm,
not
an
expert
on
transportation,
I'm,
not
an
expert
on
large-scale
energy
and
micro
grid,
and
you
know
planning
so
making
sure
that
the
right
people
are
in
the
room
at
the
right
time
and
a
lot
of
that
is
being
funded
through
our
opportunity
with
with
100
in
cities.
P
So
we're
able
to
bring
in
the
right
people
to
help
us
work
on
these
problems
and
to
do
the
surveying
that
we
need
to
answer
these
questions
so
the
initiatives
and
projects
in
the
works.
So
we
have
a
number
of
energy
projects
that
we're
working
on
local
generation
for
air
quality
improvements.
So
even
though
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
has
much
better
air
quality
than
it
did
in
the
70s,
we
still
are
considered
a
non-attainment
city
where
air
quality
is
continually
an
issue
with
within
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
P
So
our
buildings
and
we've
been
working
with
boss
controls
to
do
a
pilot
project
where
it
is
mix
it
to
a
smart
building
where
the
building
is
able
to
to
do
a
better
job
of
controlling
when
the
lights
are
on
when
the
lights
are
off,
making
it
sort
of
a
dynamic
system
so
that
you
know
a
lot
of
our
energy
waste
can
be
defrayed
and
we've
been
doing
water
monitoring
projects.
P
We've
been
doing
green
workplace
challenge,
so
making
sure
that
our
employees
are
happy
in
their
workplace
that
we're
able
to
do
things
like
recycle
and
do
it
effectively
we're
working
on
wastes
or
r20
roadmap
to
zero
waste
and
recycling.
So
one
of
the
things
we
really
love
to
do
is
have
a
recycling
bin
in
every
single
household
and
actually
provide
those
recycling
bins.
That's
one
of
the
huge
criticism
that
we've
gotten
from
people,
particularly
outside
of
the
city
Pittsburgh
that
have
moved
here,
is
that
you
know
the
city
doesn't
issue
a
recycling
bin.
P
It's
also
effective
as
well.
We're
working
on
Complete
Streets,
the
BRT
and
a
lot
of
the
other
stuff
that
you
guys
have
heard.
They're
planning
and
one
of
the
other
issues
that
initiatives
that
we're
working
on
is
sequesteration,
so
it
sequesteration.
It's
making
sure
that
carbon
can
go
back
to
where
it's
supposed
to
go
so
through
your
by
feellike
factor,
so
through
your
soils
and
through
your
trees.
So
one
of
the
biggest
sources
of
carbon
sequestration
that
humans
have
available
is
actually
not
trees.
P
It's
actually
soil,
but
our
soils
nowadays
are
so
depleted
in
terms
of
nutrients.
It
actually
can
absorb
less
carbon
now
than
it
used
to
in
the
past.
So
that's
something
that
we
want
to
try.
Rebuilding
back
is
rebuilding
back
safe
and
healthy
soil.
One
of
the
other
issues
that
pittsburgh
has
an
issue
with
was
having
a
high
of
high
levels
of
lead
within
their
soil.
So
you
can't
even
plant
directly
into
the
ground
in
a
lot
of
neighborhoods.
G
Actually,
I'm
sorry
I
do
property
stabilization
and
actually
I'm
saying
that
a
lot
of
the
homes
that
the
older
demolitions
have
done.
There
are
a
result
of
the
soil
being
like
that,
like
in
in
the
in
the
ground.
Does
your
office
work
with
anyone
to
try
to
say,
there's
still
going
to
be
homes
demolished?
P
One
of
the
things
that
we
did
work
on
I'm,
not
myself
personally,
but
we
have
as
a
city
as
I,
believe
it
is
now
actually
illegal
to
do
where
they
used
to
just
open
it
up
and
dump
all
the
bricks
and
stuff
in
it's
actually
illegal
now.
So
a
lot
of
that
is
changing
as
a
result
of
us
just
getting
smarter
about
the
way
that
we're
that
we're
treating
our
environment
and
our
real
estate
within
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
But
yes,.
D
R
So
I
see
a
lot
of
these
initiatives
on
the
board,
but
in
spent
and
us
spending
some
time
in
city
buildings
not
to
be
critical,
but
our
city
buildings
are
like
appear
to
be
some
of
the
least
efficient
buildings
in
probably
the
city
especially
like
when
it
just
comes
down
to
the
toilets.
It's
like.
So
you
know
we
have
this
big
plan
for
Pittsburgh,
but
our
own
public
buildings
are
critically
failing
to
even
provide
some
of
the
most
basic
efficient,
sustainable
energy
services
within
themselves.
R
P
Just
because
we
just
haven't
had
the
investment
into
the
buildings,
we
haven't
put
the
investment
into
the
buildings
that
are
necessary
to
keep
them
going,
and
we
recognize
that
that
is
a
huge
problem.
So
the
mayor
last
year
did
an
executive
order
requiring
us
us
to
do
to
do
a
facilities
plan
and
that
started
with
those
doing
the
base
lining,
which
is
a
plan
that
we
just
finished
like
I
said
two
months
ago,
massero
I
believe
was
the
contractor,
who
had
who
to
put
that
together.
P
First,
it
was
a
year
process
for
us
to
go
through
all
300
of
our
buildings
that
the
city
owns
and
to
figure
out
a
should
we
keep
this
building
like
it
means
you
should
it
should
it
be
returned
to
the
to
the
people
to
do
something
better
with?
Should
we
keep
it
in
our
portfolio
at
all?
Should
it
be
sold
because
it
has
a
better
purpose
serving
some
other
way?
One
of
the
other
things
that
we
were
looking
at
is
you
know:
what's
the
quality
of
the
roof?
P
P
Controls
thing
is
one
of
the
things
we
wanted
to
do
is
try
to
figure
out
how
much
electricity
our
buildings
were
using
and
trying
to
figure
out
a
better
way
to
do
some
automated
with
with
our
lighting,
so
that
we
can
start
to
recapture
the
savings
from
turning
off
our
lights
at
night,
which
is
something
that
we
actually
don't
really
do
a
lot
of
within
the
city.
It
sounds
crazy,
but
in
some
parts
of
the
some
parts
of
our
city
buildings
we
don't
even
know
where
the
light
switches
are
they're
not
on
the
floor.
P
So
we
can't
just
like
flip
the
switch
when
we
leave
at
night,
so
we
wanted
to
do
some
building
automation,
but
in
order
to
do
building
automation,
you
actually
have
to
have
Wi-Fi,
because
you
need
some
wave
for
the
for
the
nodes
to
talk
to
each
other
and
we
didn't
even
have
that
basic
service.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
had
to
invest
money
and
she
was
actually
building
our
Wi-Fi
network.
P
So
we
can
just
some
of
the
automation
as
well
as
doing,
of
course,
some
of
the
other
critical
repairs
like
fixing
our
windows,
so
that
they're
not
hemorrhaging
energy
during
the
winter
time
and
during
the
summer
time
fixing
our
rubes,
of
course,
fixing
our
flooring
fixing
all
the
other
different
things
that
have
to
go
along
with
that.
So,
yes,
you're
completely
correct.
P
My
background
is
in
sustainable
design
for
architecture,
so
I'm
particularly
care
a
lot
about
that
and
making
sure
that
our
buildings
are
around
for
the
next
generations,
and
it
also
speaks
to
the
leadership
aspect
too.
How
can
we
ask
somebody
else
to
do
something
that
we're
not
doing
so?
We
definitely
care
about
this
and
we
definitely
want
to
do
it
and
it's
something
that
we're
working
on
right
now.
So
thank
you
for
that
question.
N
P
It's
a
really
good
question.
These
are
sort
of
where
we
stand
with
regards
to
all
of
the
different
polluting
factors
that
are
that
are
aiding
and
abetting,
and
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
so
one
of
our
largest
sectors
with
regards
to
air
quality,
which
impacts
air
quality
as
well
as
emissions.
Obviously
is
our
transportation.
That's
this
gray
here
in
the
center,
you
can
see
how
huge
that
chunk
is
see.
You
have.
L
P
We
can
also
do
things
like
like
requesting
or
like
like
changing
the
mode
shift,
basically
from
single
occupancy
vehicles
and
diesel
trucks
to
things
like
buses
and
encouraging
people
to
use
things
like
bikes
by
building
bike
lanes.
So
it's
not
a
direct
one-to-one
thing.
We
can't
you
know,
beat
somebody
over
the
head
and
tell
them
to
buy
an
electric
car,
but
we
can
try
to
adjust
the
infrastructure
to
make
sure
that
for
the
people
who
do
want
to
ride
their
bike,
they
can
versus
being
in
their
car.
P
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that
the
city
can
directly
do
when
it.
When,
with
regards
to
the
things
outside
of
the
city,
we
can
complain.
That's
one
of
the
main
things
we
can
do.
I
know
doesn't
sound
like
much,
but
when
you
have
three
hundred
thousand,
you
know
three
hundred
thousand
residents
signing
a
petition
that
goes
to
the
mayor
and
the
mayor
is
sort
of
forced
by
his.
P
Basically,
so
asking
you
guys
to
go
out
and
to
voice
your
opinion
is
one
of
the
strongest
things
that
we
can
do
as
a
city
and
making
sure
that
that
we're
noting
and
that
those
opinions
are
coming
in
and
that
they're
being
tracked
and
that
people
care
about
the
things
that
are
happening
and
I
know
that
it
doesn't
sound
like
a
whole
lot.
But
it
really
is
because
people
have
to
listen
to
you,
because
who
do
we
serve
as
a
city?
We
serve
you
guys.
Yes,.
J
P
A
really
good
question-
I,
don't
know
and
I
wish
Rebecca
was
here
to
present
these
slides
I
know
that
you're
saying
that
that's
a
really
good
question
and
I
can
have
her
get
back
to
you
guys
to
report
on
that
later.
Cuz
I
think
you
guys
have
a
few
more
sessions
left
right.
I
know.
L
P
We
did
do
it,
we
did
a
survey,
actually
the
downtown
the
downtown
see.
We
only
have
fragmented
data
on
some
of
the
commuting,
so
the
Downtown
Partnership
did
a
survey
last
year
that
evaluated
how
many
people
are
coming
in
for
work
basically
commuting
into
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
but
particularly
just
downtown
Pittsburgh,
but
that
still
includes
people
like
commuting
from
Oakland
and
commuting
from
from
the
other
parts.
So
I'm
not
sure.
If
that
necessarily
answers
your
question.
I
do
not
have
that
survey.
Data
and
I.
P
Don't
really
have
a
better
answer
for
you
right
now,
I'm
sure,
sorry
to
separate
out
exactly
how
much
of
it's
from
commuters
versus
from
internal
actual
city
residents.
But
she
would
be
a
better
person
to
ask
to
ask
that
question
to,
because
she'll
probably
be
able
to
give
you
a
better
answer
and
I'm.
Sorry
I
think
this
one
is
showing
some
of
the
different
impacts
and
again
like
the
units
aren't
showing
on
this.
P
So
I
can't
answer
the
questions
as
to
how
much
but
I
think
this
is
the
the
impact
of
emissions
on
the
city
of
on
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
So
how
much
of
our
emissions
are
coming
from
commercial,
which
is
much
larger
than
residential
versus
our
transportation
versus
our
industrial?
So
our
largest
emission
factor
playing
a
role
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
is
our
commercial
with
a
second
of
our
residential.
Yes,
always.
P
That's
yeah:
it's
particulate
I'm!
Guessing
yes!
So
there
with
regards
to
admission
with
regards
to
our
emission,
so
it's
commercial
and
then
you
have
the
residential
committing
the
the
most
to
our
particulate
matter.
Like
I
said
these
aren't
my
slides,
so
I'm
not
sure
if,
if
this
was
what
she
wanted
to
present
or
what
grant
wanted
her
to
present
electricity
residential,
so
plant
engagement
in
next
steps.
So
it's
same
so
some
of
the
things
that
are
the
next
things
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
are
Pittsburgh
investment
prospectus.
P
So
these
are
some
of
the
things
that
are
coming
up
for
us:
the
community
engagement
and
strategic
outreach
plan
scenario,
planning
activities
to
energy,
energy
and
event
responses
and
an
integration
of
water,
energy,
preparedness
and
health
so
seriously,
some
of
the
prospectuses
and
some
of
the
larger
issues
that
are
coming
up
for
our
office
to
begin
to
respond
to
things
to
consider
so
resilience
impacts
all
of
us.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
to
do.
P
So
making
sure
that
all
of
these
things
play
a
role
together
is
essential
as
we
plan
for
the
future
of
Pittsburgh,
and
these
are
some
of
the
lessons
that
we
are
still
learning
as
a
city
and
as
a
resilience
office,
one
of
them
being
my
favorite,
which
is
that
every
solution
creates
a
new
problem.
So
as
we
try
to
go
through
and
solve
issues
of
resilience,
it
brings
up
another
problem
or
another
issue
that,
or
sometimes
cases
presents
or
creates
a
new
problem
or
a
new
issue
that
we
that
we
hadn't
planned
for
before.
P
Like
I.
Think
one
of
the
ladies
was
talking
about
you
know
as
we
do
zoning
and
things
that
impacts
we
figure
out.
We
solved
the
issue
of
making
sure
that
there's
more
apartment
space
for
people
to
move
into,
but
at
the
same
time
Adam
the
landlord's,
because
they've
lost
some
of
their
customers,
so
every
plane
we
every
time
we
we
sort
of
shift
the
level
and
we
and
we
move
things
around.
P
So,
even
though
we've
done
a
lot
of
great
things
for
the
city,
we
still
have
ongoing
challenges.
We
still
have
things
that
aren't
perfect.
We
still
have
issues
of
flooding,
which
we
talked
a
little
bit
about.
The
air
quality
issues
within
the
city,
like
we've,
done
a
lot
to
fix
all
this
stuff,
but
we
still
have
things
that
are
continually
problems,
and
these
are
the
these
are
the
stresses
with
regards
to
the
city,
and
this
is
supposed
to
be
a
video.
P
If
you
haven't
had
a
chance
to
see
it,
it's
the
one
PGH
video
and
you
can
find
that
by
going
to
the
Pittsburgh
PA
gov
slash
one
PGH
and
it's
an
awesome,
video
and
pretty
much.
The
conclusion
is:
is
why
really
do
we
do
all
of
this?
It's
because
of
all
of
you
guys
we
care
about
the
city
as
our
job
as
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
to
serve
you.
You
are
our
customers
and
our
only
customers.
So
thank
you.
J
So
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk
from
Peduto
and
a
lot
of
planning
going
on,
and
you
talked
about
a
lot
of
projects,
but
it
all
seems
to
be
kind
of
behind
the
scenes.
You
know
not
necessarily
small
impact,
but
like
kind
of
not
a
big
public
face
when's.
The
next
big
public
face
project
that'll
really
make
a
big
like
Pittsburgh
is
doing
sustainability,
squash
and.
J
P
So
that's
a
really
good
question,
so
you're
pretty
much
asked
like.
When
do
we
get
to
the
implementation
of
all
these
plans?
Basically,
where
you
guys
can
start
to
see
the
effects
of
it
and
the
best
answer
I
can
give
you
is
hopefully
soon
so
it
feels
like
every
time
we
create
a
plan,
something
else
changes
and
we
have
to
create
a
new
plan
and
then
something
else
changes
it
to
create
a
new
plan
and
we've
upped
the
ante
the
goals.
P
But
at
what
point
are
we
able
to
actually
implement
the
goals
to
get
towards
the
50%?
So
all
of
this
happening
actually
really
look
like
you
said
behind
the
scenes,
so,
like
all
of
the
things
that
are
playing
a
role
in
this
are
things
like
doing
the
bus
lanes,
I
mean
or
the
bus
lanes,
the
rapid
transit
doing
the
bike
lanes,
like
all
that
stuff,
is
playing
a
role
into
this.
But
you
know
it's:
it's
just
one
press
release
roll
out
at
a
time.
P
Essentially,
so
it's
not
something
where
we
can
just
descend
upon
the
city
and
say
we're
going
to
do
this,
wipe
it
all
clean.
You
know
add
in
all
the
infrastructure
and
then
move
on
to
where
you
can
see
it
as
a
huge
splash
all
at
once.
It
is
stuff
that
takes
a
really
long
time
to
implement,
just
because
you
have
to
go
through
the
process
of
bureaucracy
and
I
wish
that
there
was
a
better
answer
for
you
than
that.
But
it's
it's
it's
just
it's
small
things.
We've
moved
the
needle
on
like
that.
P
One
of
the
more
recent
move
moves
of
the
needle
was
actually
on
changing
some
of
our
our
our
language
within
our
within
our
code,
so
that
we
could
actually
have
our
parking
structures
put
in
LED
lights,
because
the
way
that
the
code
was
written
previously,
it
didn't
allow
them
to
do
that
because
it
was
based
on
lumens
and
or
no.
It
was
based
on
wattage,
not
on
lumens.
Basically,
so
it
was
based
on
the
wattage
that
was
produced
by
the
light,
which
is
the
energy
that
goes
into
and
not
by
the
amount
of
light
produced.
P
So
obviously
LEDs
have
smaller
wattage,
but
they
can
have
equal
lumens.
So,
just
by
changing
something
like
that,
we
were
able
to
go
and
save
thousands
of
dollars
in
our
parking
structures
and
to
engage
them
and
to
change
them
so
that
we're
better
able
to
to
increase
our
energy
efficiency.
So
it's
like
small
little
things
that
continual
to
to
build.
Yes,
do.
P
S
There
are
annual
and
daily
permits,
and
usually
annual
permits
are
only
issued
to
people
that
have
actual
some
actually
some
business
to
do
there
like
and
not
normal
businesses.
Usually
people
like
reporters
doctors,
people
that
actually
need
to
be
there
all
the
time,
and
instead
there
is
a
very
good
public
transportation,
BRT
and
subway,
and
everything
and
Tehran
is
is
a
twelve
million
City.
But
in
days
it's
over
20
million
population.
S
So
lots
of
people
commute
there
and
most
of
the
people
prefer
not
to
use
their
cars
because
of
those
restriction,
and
they
use
subways
all
the
public
transportation,
because
it's
good,
so
maybe
some
something
like
that
will
help
a
city
with
high
pollution.
But
I
to
ask.
Have
you
ever
thought
about
this
for
Pittsburgh,
something
like
that
restricted
zone
for
business
district?
At
least
we.
P
So
what
the
idea
behind
the
urban
renewal
in
East
Liberty
was
to
have
all
the
cars
parked
along
the
perimeter
of
it
and
make
it
a
walkable
communities
that
people
parked
along
the
perimeter
and
then
they
walked
in
through
it
and
and
they
walked
into
it
to
access
the
businesses
and
things
like
that.
Unfortunately,
we're
afraid
to
do
something
similar
to
that,
because
of
how
bad
that
that
project
ended
up
for
the
for
East
Liberty.
So
what
it
ended
up
doing
was.
P
We
are
a
very
heavy
car,
centric
society
at
least
then,
and
still
sort
of
now,
basically
where
it
actually
ended
up
killing
the
urban
core,
because
people
just
started
driving
through
it,
because
it
was
harder
to
access
and
they
wanted
to
drive
apparently
in
Park.
So
we
haven't
done
anything
like
that
lately,
but
we
are
trying
to
do
some
things.
We're
like
one
of
the
things
that
has
really
worked
is
that
it's
really
expensive
to
park
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
P
So
by
doing
small
things
like
that,
and
it's
I
mean
I,
don't
know
if
anybody's
ever
tried
to
park
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
on
you
know
on
a
midday
Monday,
but
it's
like
I
think
it's
like
a
quarter
for
five
minutes
to
park
downtown
and
little
things
like
that,
can
encourage
people
to
take
other
modes
of
transportation
into
the
town,
because
parking
is
such
a
premium.
So
that's
one
sort
of
way
that
the
copy',
the
economics
are
sort
of
are
changing
and
adjusting
and
influencing
sustainability.
But
yeah,
that's
a
good
idea.
S
Some
area
that
has
a
very
good
transportation
and
to
the
out
of
town,
for
example,
in
Tehran
subway,
goes
out
to
the
next
city,
with
six
seven
million
population
and
people
commuters
are
mostly
from
that
city
and
well.
There
is
a
very
good
subway
system,
so
people
actually
use
it.
It's
40
miles
away,
but
it's
very
fast
for
them
right.
B
B
Transit
project
we
are
looking
at
you
know
the
rerouting
of
buses
downtown
to
kind
of
maximize.
You
know
how
not
only
you
can
get
into
town,
but
also
how
you
transfer
from
one
at
least
to
another,
because
we
have
a
public
transit
system
that
is
really
a
hub-and-spoke
system,
with
the
hub
being
downtown.
So
if
you
live
in
Sheridan
and
you're
on,
you
live
close
to
the
West
bus
way
that
we
have
so
we
have
again.
E
P
So
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
tell
Amazon
if
I
wanted
them
to
to
persuade
them
to
come
into
Pittsburgh
is
the
fact
that
you
know
you
can
look
at
city
of
Pittsburgh
as
being
a
half-empty
cup
or
a
half-full
cup.
We
have
all
the
infrastructure
in
place,
that's
already
here,
and
we
have
half
the
people
that
we
need.
So
if
they
wanted
to
come
here
all
the
infrastructure
that
they
could
possibly
want
in
the
space
that
they
could
probably
want.
P
B
B
B
Think
what
we're
trying
to
do
through
a
lot
of
the
planning
work
we're
doing
now
is
in
you
know,
you
saw
it
in
some
of
the
examples
here
is
understanding
that
growth
is
now
starting
to
happen
in
the
city,
but
you
know
that
you
know
trying
to
make
sure
that
that
growth
happens
for
the
people
that
are
here,
and
you
know,
especially
when
you
look
at
you
know
some
of
the
concerns
you
know
around.
You
know
Seattle
and
where
Amazon
is
now
you
know,
you
know
that
you
know.
B
F
Sure,
and,
and
just
to
echo,
I'm
sure
some
of
the
stuff
that
Eric
talked
about
about
the
Uptown
eco
innovation,
district
and
also
the
riverfront
zoning
is
that
we're
also
trying
new,
innovative
sustainable
development,
things
that
also
include
affordable
housing
and
that
sort
of
thing
so
I
think
you
know,
come
in
and
develop
with
us
in
our
in
our
new
innovative
districts.
I.
C
F
T
So
my
question,
then,
is
why
can't
the
West
bus
way
just
travel
through
what
you
said
hub-and-spoke
this
hub
instead
and
maybe
two
stops
along
it
and
then
get
on
that
bus
that
came
off
the
West
bus
way
goes
onto
the
East
busway.
That's
my
first
question:
why
isn't
that
happening?
And
my
second
question
is:
do
you
try
to
expand
this
and
are
you
getting
some
pushback
from
these
communities?
That
probably
are
saying
we'd
only
want
you
here.
We
don't
even
want
people
who
don't
live
in
our
community
to
have
access
to
our
community.
T
B
B
You
know,
as
around,
we
were
working
with
the
Port
Authority,
a
lot
of
that
and
a
lot
of
is
around
how
the
buses
can
be
scheduled,
because
they're
different
runs
to
go
from
the
West
bus
way
to
downtown
than
the
East
busway
and
to
try
to
keep
a
consistent
route
and
to
keep
keep
consistent.
Timing
was
really
difficult,
and
so
that's
that
that
was
why,
at
this
point
in
time,
you
don't
see
that
doesn't
mean
eventually
that
won't
be
a
problem.
That's
solved.
B
T
It
seems
like
that
people
in
Pittsburgh
want
to
keep
their
little
pocket
of
their
community
to
themselves
and
they
don't
want
Outsiders
coming
into
their
community,
so
to
expand.
You'd
have
to
go
through
their
community
and
now
you're
like
they
just
seem
like
you're
letting
people
into
my
community
or
giving
them
access
to
my
community
that
I
don't
want.
Have
you
found
pushback
on
any
expansion
of
your
plans?
Oh
absolutely,.
B
B
You
know,
there's
you
know,
Kate
can't
Kate,
you
know,
Kate
doesn't
have
the
opportunity
to
tell
every
person
every
person
who
wants
to
develop
in
a
neighborhood
that
they
can't
develop
in
that
neighborhood,
because
nothing's
allowed
to
change.
We
can,
through
zoning,
try
to
dictate
what
type.
What
changed
looks
like
what
kind
of
buildings
that
takes
place
in
what
kind
of
uses
go
on,
but
you
know
really
the
long-range
planning
that
we're
doing
when
it
comes
to
the
neighborhood
plans
or
other
plans
is
trying
to
figure
out
what
benefits
those
communities
can
get
through.
B
U
A
U
B
Yeah,
we
can
talk
about
that
afterwards,
because
the
art
Commission
really
regulates
things
that
are
on
I
mean
you
know:
I
relate
the
Art
Commission
to
a
public
lands
commission
and
the
art.
Commission's
role
is
really
around
I
mean
it
is
around
the
public
art
that
we
see
in
the
city.
But
it's
really
around
that
on
public
property,
where.
