A
B
Okay
good
afternoon
and
welcome
to
pittsburgh
city
council's
public
hearing
for
wednesday
october
28th
2020
relative
to
bill
2020-0684.
Sorry,
if
you've
already
heard
me
say
that
but
I'll
say
it
again,
my
name
is
deborah
gross
and
I
am
the
chair
of
intergovernmental
affairs.
Madam
clerk,
will
you
please
read
the
title
of
the
bill.
B
Your
volume
is
not
great,
so
this
is
in
case
it
was
difficult
to
understand
again
it's
bill
2020684
and
it
is
regarding
the
institutional
master
plan
for
west
penn
hospital
and
for
the
record,
do
we
have
other
council
members
with
us.
Yet
today
I
don't
see
any
on
my
screen.
B
Nope,
I
don't
seem
to
and
we
will
possibly
be
joined
by
them
shortly.
They
can
come
in
and
out
of
the
public
hearing.
We
do
have
a
presentation
about
the
institutional
master
plan
and
usually
in
these
public
hearings,
we
allow
on
the
people
who
have
joined
us.
Usually
it's
at
city
council
table
here
it's
in
webinar
format
to
present
the
plan
for
the
viewers
and
the
public's
information
an
overview,
and
then
we
do
have.
I
see
only
three
registered
speakers
and
those
speakers.
B
If
you'll
bear
with
us
and
stay
on
the
line
with
us,
you
will
have
your
three
minutes
after
we
have
the
presentation
of
the
institutional
master
plan,
so
I
have
a
variety
of
people
on
my
screen.
I
see
the
president
of
west
penn
hospital
good
to
see
you,
president
andros
and
some
other
people
on
his
team.
I'm
adam
clark,
I
don't
really
have
the
speakers.
B
D
Would
you
like
to
have
the
planning
staff
present.
B
D
E
E
Mpcc20190075,
this
received
a
positive
recommendation
with
conditions
at
planning
commission
back
in
july
of
2020
the
conditions
related
to
sidewalk
width
and
building
massing,
and
these
changes
have
already
been
incorporated
into
the
institutional
master
plan
document.
So
these
conditions
have
been
satisfied.
E
Notices
were
mailed
for
this
hearing,
21
days
in
advance,
as
required
by
code,
but
due
to
the
current
state
laws,
around
cobid
notices
were
not
posted
on
the
property.
Finally,
I
just
want
to
note-
and
I'm
sure
you'll
see
this
in
the
presentation
as
well.
There
are
several
properties
on
gross
street
which
are
within
the
emi
zoning
district,
but
are
not
part
of
the
institution.
F
F
F
Melanie
como
harris
is
with
us
and
she's
the
one
that
has
put
together
the
architect
for
this
institutional
master
plan
that
you're
going
to
see.
So
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
ron
at
this
point
before
I
do,
though,
I'd
like
to
ask
if
there
were
any
comments
at
the
end
that
wes
penn
could
answer
we'd
like
to
reserve
that
time.
G
Great
thank
you
dusty
and
thank
you
to
the
city
council
members,
as
well
as
to
the
planning
commission
both
for
this
time
and
and
for
this
opportunity.
The
first
slide
here
really
addresses
again
an
optical
view
of
of
what
is
that
institutional
master
plan
perspective
as
it
relates
to
how
we're
zoned
in
and
around
west
penn
hospital.
G
We
also
are
sensitive
to
the
parking
needs
of
our
regional
area.
We've
heard
loud
and
clear
from
our
community.
Some
of
the
concerns
they've
had
so
you'll
see
that
incorporated
in
our
objectives.
We
also
need
to
be
thinking
more
about
the
modernization
and
green
footprint
of
west
penn
hospital,
so
you'll
see
to
our
presentation
how
we've
addressed
those
objectives,
and
then
we
have
never
really
had
a
front
door
to
the
hospital.
G
So
there
is
a
notation
of
that
as
well
as
how
the
public
could
not
be
confused
any
longer
as
to
what
is
the
main
entrance
to
the
hospital
and
again,
our
operational
efficiency
to
really
cause
ourselves
to
meet.
Modern
standards
is
threaded.
Throughout
our
document,
I'd
like
to
introduce
dr
brian
johnson
who's
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
clinical
profile
and
a
little
bit
more
about
the
organization.
H
Thank
you
ron
and
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
present
today.
So,
as
this
slide
reflects,
we've
experienced
very
significant
growth
here
at
west
penn
over
the
past
five
years.
Presently
we
have
350
licensed
beds
to
support
that
clinical
need.
We
have
1
000
physicians
on
staff,
approximately
in
addition
to
2000
staff
members
for
additional
support.
H
Presently
we
discharge
about
14
500
patients
per
year,
which
I've
noticed
a
significant
increase
from
approximately
2015
when
that
discharge
number
appeared
to
be
about
9
000..
In
addition,
there
were
about
4,
200
babies
born
here
every
year
and
included
in
that
there
are
about
900
discharges
from
our
level
3
neonatal
intensive
care
unit,
where
we
provide
care
for
our
smallest
patients
on
the
outpatient
side,
there's
about
150
to
160,
000,
outpatient
discharges
and
in
addition
to
that,
25
000
patients
are
seen
through
our
emergency
department
on
a
yearly
basis.
I
H
J
H
Importantly,
as
we
provide
the
increased
access
and
support
the
necessary
growth,
we
want
to
ensure
it's
very
patient
centric
such
that
many
of
these
services
are
in
an
institute
model
such
that
they
are
located
under
one
roof.
So
a
patient
can
present
to
our
facility
and
have
care
provided
for
potentially
multiple
subspecialties
without
having
to
attend
a
multiple,
multiple
appointments.
In
order
to
achieve
that
data
next
slide
and
some
notes
are.
G
This
notes
our
10-year
plan
visually,
so
you
see
in
different
colors
here
again
the
parking
garage
structure
that
we're
looking
towards
a
dynamic,
as
it
relates
to
a
medical
office
clinic
that
we
would
like
to
further
expand
on
our
campus,
also
to
the
hospital
spaces
that
you
see
here
for
inpatient
and
various
hospital-based
outpatient
services
that
are
noted
in
the
green
and
then
our
our
perspective
on
our
our
plant
to
modernize
that
and
cause
it
to
be
even
more
energy,
efficient
and
also
too
sensitive
to
both.
G
You
know
the
dynamics
of
the
environment,
both
for
pollution
as
well
as
noise,
so,
and
also
too
we're
very
sensitive
in
this
diagram
as
well
to
the
watershed
and
all
the
other
environmental
concerns
that
currently,
you
know
as
part
of
our
imp,
we've
tried
to
fully
incorporate
next
slide.
G
The
the
dimension
here
is
to
show
you
another
view
from
liberty,
gross
street
friendship,
matilda
and
millville
as
to
how
the
new
buildings
could
look
and
again
we
tried
to
be
sensitive
to
our
community
and
neighborhoods.
Again,
we've
tried
to
set
the
buildings
back,
we've
tried
to
cause
them
to
be
stair
stepped
in
their
presentation.
Again.
We
want
this
to
be
a
blend
with
our
community
as
well.
G
G
This
is
our
25-year
perspective.
You
see
some
additional
infield
space
in
the
yellow
is
what
was
just
proposed
for
the
10-year
plan
in
the
green
and
the
kind
of
yellowish
brown
is
what
we
also
see
as
again:
the
hospital
expansion
for
infield
space,
and
then
we
have
a
very
robust
program
here
for
simulation
for
our
healthcare
professionals,
as
well
as
what
we
do
with
our
school
of
nursing.
So
what
you
see
in
the
upper
part
of
the
upper
portion
of
this
is
an
expansion
to
what
our
educational
needs
can
be.
G
K
You're
on
mute
cindy,
not
anymore,
okay
from
trans
associates,
although
I'm
labeled
as
the
third
melanie
harris
attending
the
meeting.
However,
we
have
performed
the
transportation
study
for
the
project
addressing
all
of
the
multimodal
aspects
of
movement
of
people
into
and
out
of
the
campus.
The
summary
of
the
improvements
is
shown
on
this
graphic.
K
The
first
thing
to
note
is
inside
the
orange
line,
an
extensive
program
of
pedestrian
improvements
both
surrounding
the
campus
and
within
the
campus
itself,
and
crossing
millville
avenue.
Some
of
those
improvements
will
be
at
signalized
intersections
others
at
unsignalized
intersections,
and
they
will
all
provide
benefit
to
both
the
public
in
general
and
people
associated
with
west
penn
hospital
signal.
K
Improvements
include
west
penn,
installing
a
new
signal,
as
shown
at
liberty,
avenue
and
gross
street,
and
that
will
be
done
in
association
with
additional
improvements
on
gross
street,
which
will
be
refined
as
part
of
the
project,
design
and
approval
process
for
the
garage
which
has
been
previously
mentioned
by
ron
the
garage
shown
in
the
diagonal
purple
lines.
Configuration
will
be
physically
connected
to
the
existing
garage
and
will
share
access
with
it.
K
G
Absolutely
dusty,
thank
you
very
much.
You
know
I
want
to
make
mention
and
again
thank
everyone
from
all
those
groups
that
we
engaged
with
again.
There
were
11
different
groups
and
including
councilwoman
deb
gross,
who
we
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
and
talk
with,
and
also
to
address,
all
concerns
we
tried
to
address
how
it
is.
G
We
can
incorporate
concerns
and
dynamics
to
this
and
develop
and
adapt
our
our
institutional
master
plan
over
the
course
of
the
last
two
years
again,
we
had
18
meetings
that
you'll
see
noted
to
your
right
within
that
dynamic
of
how
it
is
that
we
met
with
people
in
and
along
the
journey
of
of
two.
That
aren't
noted
here
is
the
also
two
the
actually.
It
is
no
to
the
planning
commission
both
for
non-public
comment
and
for
public
comment.
G
Next
slide
we're
proud
of
this
billboard.
It
sits,
you
know
in
bloomfield,
as
you
come
into
bloomfield
lawrenceville
it.
It
really
denotes
the
fact
that
for
the
last
two
consecutive
years
we
are
one
of
the
top
100
hospitals
in
the
nation.
We
are
a
three-time
magnet
facility
by
the
american
nurses
association.
We
are
a
leapfrog,
a
in
relationship
to
various
federal
programs.
G
This
hospital
was
on
the
verge
of
closure
and
thanks
to
all
those
parties
noted
everyone
really
helped
us
in
so
many
ways,
and
we
are
so
thankful
to
be
where
we
are
today
in
this
journey
of
success
and
in
172
years
of
legacy
and
care
to
our
community,
the
first
public
hospital
in
pittsburgh.
G
Again,
we
are,
we
are
blessed.
We
are
thankful.
We
are
grateful
and
we
are
very
proud
of
this
sign
that
displays
us
not
only
for
the
present
but
to
the
future,
and
we
stand
before
you
with
our
institutional
master
plan,
seeking
your
approval
and
again
with
great
great
thanks
and
also
too
for
all
that
you
do
for
us
each
and
every
day.
So
thank
you
very
much.
F
B
Okay,
so
no
one
has
any
more
kind
of
just
presentation
to
do.
It
looks
like
I'm
still,
the
only
member
here
so
normally
as
chair.
I
would
defer
to
the
other
members,
but
since
a
councilwoman
president
kale
smith
was
unable
to
chair
today
and
west
penn
is
in
my
district
as
well.
She
asked
me
to
do
so,
so
I
have
questions
of
my
own
and
and
some
concerns
that,
from
the
I
think,
neighborhood
conversations
that
we
can
just
share
a
little
bit.
K
Well,
actually,
a
detailed
program
of
improvements
was
was
determined
and
included
in
the
institutional
master
plan
and
in
the
transportation
report
that
is
part
of
the
appendix
to
the
imp
for
the
for
the
purpose
of
presenting
a
less
cluttered
slide
and
something
that
was
more
at
a
higher
level
of
detail.
We
reduced
that.
I
can,
however,
tell
you
what
the
pr
plan
is
for
access
to
the
garage
they're.
Presently,
the
the
purple
garage
that
looks
sort
of
like
a
bent.
K
The
new
garage,
the
new
garage,
which
is
with
the
diagonal
purple
lines,
would
be
built
adjacent
to
the
garage
sort
of
tucked
into
the
opening.
Part
of
the
l
and
part
of
corday
way
would
be
vacated
with
a
hammerhead
configuration
constructed
so
that
the
private
properties
just
to
the
north
would
have
access
for
trash
removal,
deliveries,
etc.
K
The
two
garages
would
be
physically
connected
so
that
the
access
points
could
be
shared
so
as
not
to
have
two
access
points
on
gross
street.
The
existing
garage
gross
street
driveway
would
be
permanently
closed
and
a
new
one
constructed
into
the
new
garage
in
order
to
minimize
intrusion
into
the
neighborhood
from
vehicles
going
to
and
departing
from,
the
gross
street
garage.
K
We
propose
a
two-way
section
on
gross
street
between
liberty
and
the
access
point
into
the
gross
street
garage,
and
that
would
involve
signage
and
bump
outs,
and
removal
of,
I
believe,
about
four
parking
spaces
on
the
west
side
of
the
street.
That
would
allow
vehicles,
and
these
would
be
largely
people
coming
to
the
medical
medical
office
buildings,
which
would
be
patient,
visitor
vehicles
to
approach
via
the
main
arterial
at
the
campus
liberty,
avenue,
turn
left
or
right
onto
grove
street
and
turn
left
into
the
garage.
K
K
That
access
point
based
on
discussions
with
the
neighborhood
would
be
closed
from
8
pm
to
6
a.m
daily,
as
mr
andrew
has
discussed,
with
the
neighbors
to
minimize
garage
vehicle
activity
in
the
evening
and
overnight
hours
next
to
the
residential
neighbors.
The
millville
avenue
driveway,
which
is
what
has
west
penn
facilities
on
both
sides
of
the
street,
would
continue
to
operate
as
it
does
today,
with
full
movement
entry
and
exit
in
both
directions.
K
B
Thank
you.
That's
why
I
asked
it
was
just
a
a
a
lot
of
conversations
happened
over
the
course
of
these
two
years
around
these
issues,
so
for
anyone
who's
watching
who's,
not
it's
familiar
with
the
daily
ins
and
outs
in
bloomfield
they're,
still,
it's
highly
densely
populated,
so
there's
lots
of
people
on
foot,
there's
lots
of
people
living
there
trying
to
park
their
cars
and
then
we're
also
hosting
multiple
big
institutions,
west
penn,
being
only
one
of
them,
that's
really
in
the
center
of
bloomfield.
B
But
there's
a
lot
of,
I
think,
really
good
public
attention
and
really
good
neighbor
input
that
has
happened
about
how
flow
can
happen
safely
and
really
there
are
some
rearrangements
in
this
master
plan.
Actually,
madam
clerk
has
a
request
that
you
take
down
the
shared
screen.
B
I
just
got
a
message
because
for
our
viewing
public
they
can't
see
any
of
us
talking,
and
that's
that's
a
yes
since
he's
saying,
thank
you,
because
that
is
a
little
awkward
for
the
public,
we're
still
trying
to
manage
our
zoom
interactions
in
a
way
that
is,
you
know
easier
for
the
people
on
the
other
end.
B
So
thank
you
for
that,
but
it
was
really
helpful
that
we
drill
into
this
map,
because
there's
other
things
that
are
changing
around
again
big
neighborhood
conversation
about
how
people
come
both
employees
and
patients
and
visitors
come
into
the
hospital
and
leave.
B
Could
you
check
and
touch
upon
that
also
cindy
or
anyone
else,
but
how
any
changes
impact
and
of
the
parking
structure
that
you
have
the
structured
parking
garage
that
you
have
on
liberty,
avenue
and
also
the
surface
parking
garage
that
you
have
on
liberty
avenue?
Of
course
it
is
the
site
of
a
nationally
award-winning
farmers
market
that
you
are
generous
to
provide
a
lease
and
sight
for
so
there's
a
lot
of
neighborhood
concern
about
that.
If
you
could
speak
to
that
for
a
few
minutes,
okay,.
K
That
was,
that
was
a
number
of
questions
I
think
I'll
start
with
with
other
modes.
First,
there
is
public
transit
service
available
on
liberty
avenue
and
at
the
time
that
the
new
hospital
building
is
built
on
the
site.
That
is
right
now,
the
melon
pavilion
that's
on
liberty,
between
matilda
and
millvale,
the
west
pen
will
work
with
the
port
authority
and
with
domi
to
incorporate
a
an
upgraded
public
transit.
K
There
are
also
a
number
of
bicycling
opportunities
and
new
bike,
racks,
etc,
which
are
detailed
in
in
the
master
plan,
and
those
things
will
will
enhance
bicycle
travel.
Also,
west
penn
intends
to
put
real-time
travel
advisory
kiosks
in
the
hospital
building
and
the
medical
office
building.
That
would
provide
information
about
public
transit
and
also
healthy
ride
stations
to
assist
patients,
visitors
and
employees
in
knowing
what
their
transportation
options
are.
Additional
initiatives,
some
of
which
have
already
been
started,
have
also
been
included
in
the
tdm
plan.
K
Transportation
demand
management
plan,
including
opportunities
for
employees
to
work
at
home
to
have
zoom
meetings
such
as
what
we're
enjoying
today
and
other
mechanisms
to
get
work
done
that
don't
involve
single
occupant
vehicles
all
coming
to
the
campus.
Another
thing
that
wasn't
shown
on
my
slide
is
that
there
is
a
parking
lot
in
lawrenceville
which
west
penn
currently
operates,
utilizing
an
employee
shuttle
that
provides
easy
number
to
remember,
444
spaces
and
that
that
is
a
source
of
employee
parking.
K
The
plan
includes
being
able
to
bring
patient,
visitor
and
employee
parkers
all
onto
the
campus
or
in
the
immediately
adjacent
mccain
lot,
and
also
the
aspen
street
garage,
which
is
cleverly
located
at
liberty
and
aspen
street,
so
that
there
should
be.
There
is
definitely
the
capability
of
having
all
of
those
parkers
park
in
west
penn
hospital
parking
facilities,
rather
than
parking
on
the
public
streets
that
are
depended
on
by
by
the
residents,
particularly
in
the
residential
permit
parking
area.
K
The
plan
going
forward
would
be
to
then
discontinue
the
daily
shuttle
service
to
the
lawrenceville
lot
and
to
use
that
lot
only
under
special
circumstances,
but
the
rest
of
the
time.
The
parking
would
be
handled
by
the
hospital
parking
as
previously
described.
I
think
I
got
your
your
points.
Councilwoman
gross.
B
Yeah,
it's
more,
let
me
know
it's.
You
know
this
is
a
deep
dive
into
the
dynamics
of
the
neighborhood,
but
that
is
what
this
you
know
is
about.
When
we're
looking
at
the
zoning
for
a
large
site,
we
want
to
respect
the
site
right
and
where
and
where
it's
located
so
dynamics
in
oakland
are
different
than
dynamics
in
bloomfield,
etc,
and
bloomfielders
are
again
hosting
on
the
kind
of
south
east.
B
You
know
we
also
have
a
thousand
car
parking
garage,
that's
upmc
parking
garage
and
sites
that
are
right
on
the
edge
of
the
border.
There
there's
a
new
university
of
pittsburgh
biomedical
facility
going
in
and
what
is
still
actually
bloomfield.
That's
going
to
be
instead
of
empty
warehouses,
now
hundreds
of
offices
and
all
the
stuff
in
the
kind
of
bomb
corridor,
and
then
on
our
other
side
just
across
the
street,
from
on
the
bloomfield
line,
is
children's
hospital
and
all
of
these
parking
dynamics
overlap
so
on
on
resident
streets.
G
Yeah,
I'm
sorry
household
growth.
Just
to
interject,
too,
you
made
mention
of
the
farmers
market.
That's
located
again
off
of
liberty
avenue.
We
have
no
intention
to
affect
that.
We
we
believe
you
know
in
its
entirety
again
we
keep
that
space.
You
know
readily
available
for
the
farmers
market
on
saturday
and
sunday.
We've
also
tried
now
to
move
that
market.
So
it's
a
all
all
year
market,
so
the
aspen
garage
also
serves
that
purpose
too
in
climate
weather.
So
we
see
a
great
service
as
it
relates
to
the
community
there.
G
Along
with
you
know,
our
food
insecurity
program
and
blending
of
five
food
banks
within
our
school
of
nursing
has
also
been
our
focus
on
to
nutrition
and
the
wellness.
You
know
from
a
nutritional
perspective
to
our
community.
Again,
our
focus
is
there
and
it's
strong,
and
we
want
to
continue
to
move
that
forward.
G
Also
too,
they
wouldn't,
you
know,
be
impacted
by
you
know:
people
utilizing
the
garage
after
eight
o'clock
at
night
for
that
section
of
the
hospital's
garage
and
then
again,
aesthetically
we've
tried
to
do
things
to
guard
the
neighborhood.
You
know
from
any
type
of
light
pollution
and
other
things
that
you
know
again
they
express
to
us.
So
you
know
to
the
traffic
patterns.
I
think
cindy,
and
you
know
again,
our
entire
team
tried
to
be
very
sensitive
to
the
needs
of
those
that
are
on
growth
street
and
in
our
neighborhoods
and
then
also
too.
G
We
want
to
always
be
in
partnership
with
our
neighbors
and
community
as
to
how
we
utilize
our
facilities
and
make
sure
that
again,
it's
not
complicating
factors
but
helping
the
hospital
to
grow
for
what
the
community's
healthcare
needs
are,
but
also
to
being
extensively
sensitive
to
what
there's.
What
those
areas
of
concern
are.
So
that
we're
not
impacting.
You
know
our
neighborhoods
and
those
that
we
serve
in
a
negative
way.
B
It's
a
delicate
balance,
which
we
heard
reflected.
I
think
in
the
neighborhood
conversations
that
like
how
do
we
get
encourage
people
to
come
to
the
hospital
in
fewer
cars
or
not
in
their
cars,
but
not
disincentivize
them
to
just
come
in
their
car,
but
then
park
offsite
in
the
neighborhood
streets
and
it's
really
a
very
complicated
dynamic,
and
I
know
that
everybody's
I
just
want
to
you
know-
make
the
public
aware
that
everybody
is,
I
think,
trying
to
solve
that
problem,
whether
we
succeed
or
fail.
B
It
was
yet
to
be
seen,
but
that
we
are,
we
are
aware
of
the
complicated
dynamics
and
domi
is
working
with
us
and
we.
This
is
the
parking
authorities,
there's
overlapping
issues
with
residential
parking
permit
areas
and
the
times
and
the
hours
and
paid
parking,
lots
and
the
times
and
hours
and
private
parking
lots
and
we're
trying
to
make
them
work
in
a
way
that
we
get
that
the
right
balance.
G
You
know
councilwoman
gross,
you
know
you
and
I
were
involved
in
a
series
of
meetings
with
the
community
related
to
parking
and
from
those
meetings.
The
hospital
took
on
really
two
initiatives,
one
of
which
is
monday
through
sunday
for
those
that
are
here
on
evening
evenings
and
nights
they
park
in
our
existing
garage
for
no
cost,
and
we
did
that
to
incentivize
people
to
cause
them
to
be
off
the
neighborhood
streets
and
most
proximal
to
the
hospital.
G
We
also
thought
it
was
a
safety
factor
for
our
staff
that
again
they
were
within
the
confines
of
the
hospital
campus
as
to
how
it
is
they.
You
know
both
came
into
the
hospital
for
work
as
well
as
how
they
left.
The
other
part
was
that
from
monday,
through
through
friday,
as
the
off-site
lot
is
open,
that
lot
of
which
we
shuttle
our
staff
to
the
hospital.
We
also
made
that
a
no-charge
lot,
so
we
tried
in
those
those
meetings.
G
You
know
as
follow-up
councilwoman
gross
to
try
and
incentivize
our
staff
that
they
would
utilize
our
parking
facilities
at
a
minimal
impact
to
the
neighborhood,
and
I
think,
we've
been
reasonably
successful.
I
don't
think
we've
been
perfect
in
that
space.
We've
also
tried
to
do
a
lot
with
our
contractors
too,
to
try
and
cause
them
to
utilize
space.
You
know
that
would
be
again
free
of
charge
to
them
and
a
way
to
that
would
have
less
burden
to
our
neighborhoods
for
parking.
G
So
again,
we
hope
that
we're
making
you
know
inertia
in
that
space
and
then
we're
causing
it
to
be
better
for
the
community.
Clearly,
we
have
a
ways
to
go.
This
expanded
parking
facility
that
you
know
here
can
help
us
with
that
because
of
the
enhanced
volumes,
but
our
dynamic
is
to
be
always
listening
and
looking
towards
action.
That
makes
things
better.
B
B
So
to
speak
to
that,
just
one
more
or
maybe
one
or
two
more
things
on
the
mobility
side,
transportation
side
is,
and
I've
actually
got
a
note
here
from
a
member
of
the
public,
saying
they've
actually
seen
good
community
response
about
the
changes
you've
made
how's
that
I've
gone
on
a
different
technology
platform.
Here
I
got
a
positive
feedback.
Someone
watching
live
on
youtube,
so
thank
you
and
it's
almost
like
we're
all
together
in
a
room
but
we're
not.
We.
B
We
get
a
lot
of
concerns,
not
just
here
at
this
location
but
about
crossings
at
specifically
matilda
and
liberty,
and
then
also
matilda
in
general,
which
is
the
on
your
screen.
It
was
the
left-hand
side
right,
it's
the
western
side
of
the
hospital
campus
and
then
there's
some
particular
concerns
that
I
think
we
as
the
city
can
do
better
with
signage
and
maybe
slowing
down
speeds
on
friendship
right.
It's
that's.
Just
a
busy
spot.
You've
got
port
authority.
Bus
stop,
you've
got
hospital
and
people
coming
in
and
out
of
the
park.
B
I
used
to
walk
that
way
myself
when
I
lived
behind
the
hospital
people
are
trying
to
get
to
liberty
avenue
or
back
to
the
neighborhood
from
shopping,
and
so,
if
you
wanted
to
say
anything
special
about
that
kind
of
traffic
plumbing,
I
think
cindy.
You
mentioned
that
you're
working
on
pedestrian
safety.
I
know
that
we've
we've
talked
about
that
again
in
years
past,
even
outside
of
the
institutional
master
plan.
President
andrew
with
me
we're
talking
about
kind
of
a
you.
Did
some
signage
for
enticing
employees
to
take
walks
for
cardiac
health.
B
I
think
it
was
and
so
which
is
which
the
neighborhood
is
happy
to
host
west
penn,
also
because
it
really
supports
the
vendors
and
the
restaurants
and
the
and
the
retail
parts
of
the
neighborhood
and
it's
nice
to
have
them
coming
out.
K
As
as
noted
on
that
slide
and
there's
a
lot
more
to
it
in
the
in
the
transportation
report,
we
are
cognizant
of
the
fact
that
movement
can
be
challenging
in
the
area
of
the
campus
and
that's
why
west
penn
has
included
in
their
master
plan
upgrades
of
pedestrian
crossings
at
all
of
the
intersections
surrounding
the
campus,
including
a
program
of
signage
and
also
pavement,
marking
plans
that
include
high
visibility.
Thermoplastic
markings
piano
key
crosswalks.
K
That
kind
of
thing
we
did
look
at
the
matilda
and
liberty
intersection,
and
I
frankly,
I've
been
looking
at
that
for
almost
30
years,
hoping
that
someday
it
would
meet
signal
warrant
criteria
and
it
and
it
just
doesn't
and,
and
I'm
sure
that
going
forward
it
can
be
looked
at
again,
perhaps
by
west
penn,
perhaps
by
others,
but
the
state
and
the
city.
Don't
allow
us
to
recommend
installation
of
signals
that
don't
meet
the
the
warrant
criteria
and
it
just
it
just
doesn't.
K
However,
we
certainly
can
do
better
with
better
payment
markings
and
better
signage,
and
that's
all
around
the
campus
at
the
two
signalized
at
the
three
signalized
intersections.
Better
markings
plus
signalization
will
certainly
help
pedestrian
cross
and
one
other
place
where
there
have
been
some
pedestrian
crossing.
K
Challenges
has
been
across
millvale
avenue
between
the
main
entrance
and
the
emergency
entrance
to
the
hospital
and
the
gravel
lot
on
the
other
side
of
the
street,
and
we
have
recommended
a
rapid,
rectangular
rapid
flashing
beacon
installation
there,
with
which
and
also
with
in
pavement
lighting,
which
would
be
a
really
great
pedestrian
upgrade
there.
And
it
is
something
that
will
have
to
be
worked
on
over
time.
B
B
So
if
zipcar
is
a
car
sharing
company,
where
you
kind
of
do
a
subscription
and
then
if
you
want
to
it's
like
a
rental
car,
it's
not
it's
not
a
taxi
service
like
uber,
so
just
for
the
public,
it's
a
rental
car,
but
you
kind
of
pre-apply
and
get
a
membership
and
then
on
your
phone.
You
like
rent
the
car
for
an
hour
or
something
like
that.
You
just
walk
up
to
the
car.
That's
parked
there.
B
It's
like
they
have,
instead
of
having
one
giant
lot
where
you
have
to
go
to,
and
you
know,
rent
the
car
you've
already
pre-rented
you're
subscribed,
so
you
could
just
walk
up
to
a
car
and
unlock
it
and
drive
it
away
and
they
want
to
permanently
park.
A
car
like
have
a
permanent
parking
space
on
the
street
on
south
millvale.
So
nobody
knows
about
that.
Well,
I'm
glad
I
told
you
it
was.
G
Just
amazing
because
we
don't
have
parking
on
millville
and
if
they
were
looking
to
the
garage
to
utilize,
we
would
want
to
know
about
that
because
it
would
impact
again
access
for
others.
So
we
are
not
aware.
I
mean
I'm
aware
of
zipcar.
My
children
have
used
it
when
they're
at
college,
so
I
do
think
that
it's
a
relatively
good
program,
but
I
I
can
tell
you
that
millville
would
not
afford
them
the
opportunity
to
park.
G
In
fact,
it
would
become
cumbersome
for
both
them,
a
safety
issue
for
anyone,
utilizing
car
and
then
the
other
dynamic
is
it
could
restrict
access
to
our
emergency
room
and
to
other
needed
services.
So
you
know
if
it's
a
gross
street
or
matilda
discussion.
You
know
we're
happy
to
help.
Support
millville
would
be
a
concern
and,
to
your
point,
councilwoman
gross.
We
work
with
zone
five
command.
You
know.
G
Significant
speeding
concerns
both
on
millville
and
friendship
and
kind
of
you
know,
even
on
gross
and
matilda,
and
we
we
are
troubled
by
that.
We
also
have
asked
the
city
for
some
support,
if,
if
possible,
between
men
way
and
our
and
our
hospital,
because
that
crosswalk
is
utilized
a
lot
by
people
that
urgently
come
to
our
emergency
room
and
have
to
park
in
the
lot.
That's
proximal
to
the
hospital
emergency
room
across
the
street,
which
includes
again
pregnant
women
as
well
as
those
in
an
emergency
status.
G
So
I
I
am
concerned
about
millville
as
you
address
it,
and
would
ask
for
both
your
help
as
well
as
zipcar,
as
we
continue
to
assess
what's
in
their
best
interest
and
also
too
for
how
the
public
would
have
access
to
their
again.
Their
vehicles
for
transportation.
B
Thank
you
it
you
know.
Perhaps
they
meant
south
of
liberty
avenue,
which
there
are
on
street
parking,
and
that
would
be.
I
can
see
just
on
my
city
map
on
google
maps
that
there
are
street
spots
there.
So
it's
a
discussion
that
I'm
sure
zomi
will
help
rectify
yeah.
There's
street
parking
on
the
north
end
of
it
too,
but
we'll
make
sure
that
we
talk
to
him
about
that.
The
you
know
we
get
everybody
in
on
the
same
conversation,
you
again.
G
We're
supportive
to
the
program.
Just
you
know,
access
on
millville
has
been
a
concern
for
us
in
that
it
is
a
very
heavily
traveled
street
and
again,
access
to
the
emergency
room
is
critical
for
our
patients.
B
Even
as
the
current
configuration
it's,
you
know,
you
worry
about
potential
collisions
with
pedestrians
and
cars
in
every
single
direction,
right,
even
it's
a
very
busy
route
coming
northward
from
oakland-
and
I
know
your
emergency
vehicles
use
that
area
as
well.
So
yeah
we'll
have
to
make
sure
that
the
adobe
engineers
are.
You
know,
work
on
the
right
placement
there
so
that
there's
maybe
a
new
a
new
asset
to
be
introduced
to
the
neighborhood
for
mobility,
but
in
a
place
that
is
safe
forever.
G
Thank
you
for
your
help
and
support
again
we're
we.
You
know
we
we're
endorsing,
but
just
want
to
ensure
the
fact
that
you
know
those
that
have
emergent
need.
You
know,
have
have
quick
access.
B
K
In
the
city
itself,
I
don't
know
of
an
installation
like
that,
but
on
washington,
road
in
mount
lebanon,
there
is
a
an
rrfb
installation
with
in-pavement
lighting.
It
starts
from
the
side
where
you
push
the
button
and
lights
across
the
street.
It's
it's
pretty
cool
and
very
noticeable
by
by
motorists
and
pedestrians
as
well.
Yes,.
B
Yes,
and
we
are,
I
have
to
give
domi
a
shout
out
for
really
working
with
pittsburgh
neighborhoods,
the
neighborhoods
I
represent,
and
especially
bloomfield
in
putting
in
so
many
street
changes
and
really
kind
of
putting
together
a
pot
of
capital
funds
that
they
have
the
money
to
make
installations,
we've
gotten
bump
outs
and
speed,
humps
and
all
kinds
of
other
things.
So
it
would
be
exciting
to
get
even
more
calming
there,
like.
B
I
think
those
are
most
of
the
topics
I
just
would
like.
Anyone
to
jump
in
and
repeat
for
me,
I
wrote
down
600
beds
is
what
your
goal
is,
and
I
also
want
to
mention
that
there
really
is
so
much
gratitude
in
the
neighborhood
for
the
turn
around
story
that
is
west
penn.
It
was
really
gut-wrenching
for
so
many
people
in
the
neighborhood
there's.
B
So
many
employees
who
work
in
the
neighborhoods
and
it's
just
a
really
important
institution
right
there
in
the
middle
of
bloomfield,
that
when
there
was
a
prospect
of
west
penn,
reducing
or
closing
it
was
that
it
was
really
gut-wrenching
and
distressing
for
the
neighborhood
to
see
the
hospital
succeed
is
really
important
to
people
and-
and
so
congratulations
on
that.
B
C
G
For
your
enjoying
support,
and
also
too
of
all
of
our
community,
you
know
we
we
aren't
what
we
are,
except
for
all
of
you,
so
we
are
thankful
and
again
very
grateful
so.
J
G
Know
that
you
know
it's
always
a
team
event
and
again
we
are
appreciative
of
everyone's
involvement.
B
G
So
currently,
there's
1800
employees.
I
believe
the
expansion
was
another
12.
On
top
of
that,
so
I
think
it's
looking
at
about
2100
ish
employees
would
be
part
of
that.
You
know
the
current
bed
count
at
west
penn
is
361
beds,
were
1.5
million
square
feet
currently,
so
the
dynamic
is
really,
you
know
the
expansion
thereof
related
to
you
know
again:
access
patient
and
family.
You
know
again
services
and
then
also
to
the
component
of
how
you
know
both
our
physicians
and
all
staff
would
then
have
an
expanded
campus.
B
I
want
to
apologize
actually
I'm
going
to
interrupt
us
because
I
I
haven't
called
on
the
three
people
who
were
waiting
for
comment
and
that's
overdue.
I've
been
keeping
them
waiting
for
a
very
long
time
while
we
got
through
this
discussion,
but
we
can't
finish
the
public
hearing
without
hearing
from
the
public
so
and
there
are
three
members
waiting,
so
I'm
going
to
ask
everybody
to
mute
and
I'm
going
to
need
our
technical
staff
to
help
me
call
on
the
public
commenters,
who
have
a
note
here
somewhere.
B
The
first
speaker
I
have
registered
is
ikahana
hal
makina.
If
I
could
have
some
technical
support
calling
on
hamakina
there,
you
are,
I'm
gonna,
mute
myself.
You
have
three
minutes.
B
I
don't
have
a
way
of
of
unmuting,
you
I'm
sorry,
mr
kahana,
how
much
you
know
I
can
hear
you
now.
L
L
Okay,
I
would
like
to
speak
on
west
penn
hospital
expanding.
L
L
We
have
the
collective
and
individual
right
of
the
highest
attainable
standard
of
physical,
mental
and
spiritual
health.
Our
people
have
the
right
to
our
own
practices.
We
also
have
the
right
to
use
and
be
protected
within
medical
facilities,
the
use
of
our
own
medicinal
plants,
animals,
minerals
and
other
natural
resources
for
medicinal
use
in
our
ancestral
land
and
territories.
L
L
B
B
C
B
B
How
do
you
do
that
unmute?
Is
it
just
a
click?
Is
she
on
zoom
because
I've
when
I've
called
into
public
meetings,
I
actually
was
only
given
a
phone
number
and
then
I
had
to
do
like
star
six
or
something,
even
though
the
the
rest
of
the
the
webinar
was
on
zoom
as
a
public
commenter,
I
was
only
on
phone
call.
I
B
I
I
B
M
Hi
this
is
reedscroft.
Can
you
hear
me.
M
That's
great
thanks
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
talk
you'll
soon
realize
I'm
not
real
polished
at
this
yeah.
Fortunately,
I
don't
have
to
do
this
in
person,
but
we
live
my
family
lives
literally
right
next
to
the
proposed
building.
M
If
you
looked
at
the
model
were
pretty
much
surrounded
by
it,
but
to
give
you
a
little
history,
that's
why
I'm
against
this
one
of
the
reasons
you
know
it's
personal
with
these
there's
two
houses
left
on
the
whole
block
25
years
ago,
west
penn
bought
all
the
properties
except
these
two
houses
which
have
four
families
in
them.
M
This
our
home
was
built
by
my
father-in-law
and
my
wife's
grandfather.
It's
always
been
in
the
family,
so
this
is
real
personal.
What
I'm
saying
here,
we've
raised
our
family
here.
This
is
the
only
home
our
daughter
has
lived
in
other
than
when
she
went
to
school.
M
Our
son
recently
moved
to
california
he's
he's
a
nurse
out.
There
saving
lives
we
planning
on
staying
here,
but
if
you
see
the
model,
it
doesn't
even
look
like
we'll
see
any
sunlight.
M
You
know
and
I'm
not
holding
out
for
more
money.
I'm
not
like
that.
We're
happy
to
stay
here.
I'd
like
to
stay
here
forever.
We
love
bloomfield,
of
course.
M
I
think
dr
johnson
spoke,
which
you
know
I
can
see
improving
the
hospital,
but
I
think
you
can
do
that
from
what
you
have.
I
worked
at
presby
and
they
closed
one
unit
and
then
they'd
remodel
it
and
then
the
same
thing
to
the
next
unit.
M
J
M
B
Okay,
thank
you.
Unfortunately,
you
have
only
three
minutes,
and
so
the
microphones
turn
off,
but
the
there
is
more
opportunity
moving
forward
from
here.
This
is
the
official
public
hearing
on
just
this
topic,
but
the
next
step
for
any
zoning
matters
that
require
public
hearing
is
that
it
comes
up
on
city
council's
standing
committee
agenda
and
we're
not
sure
it'll
be
up
to
the
chair
of
land
use
bobby
wilson
from
district
one
when
this
is
added
to
a
wednesday.
Usually
it's
a
wednesday
discussion.
B
If
it's
next
week,
that
would
be
monday
the
day
before
election
day
so
watch
out
for
that
we
take
public
comment
at
every
standing
committee
meeting
and
then
there
would
have
to
be
a
final
vote
and
those
are
usually
on
tuesdays.
We
would
have
to
have
public
comment.
An
opportunity
for
discussion
there,
so
this
is,
there
are
more
will
be
more
opportunities.
B
I
think
I
have
exhausted
all
of
the
kinds
of
questions
that
I
had
come
in
from
constituents,
and
I
think
I
I
had
had
that
comment
as
well,
that
I
believe
there
are.
There
are
ongoing
discussions
with
the
properties
that
are
in
the
emi.
Zoning,
but
that
are
not
owned
by
west
penn,
so
I
know
that
that's
something
that
is
unresolved
and
I'm
glad
to
the
residents
were
able
to
call
in
today.
B
F
Councilwoman
gross-
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
again
for
the
hearing
and
for
taking
all
the
comments
from
our
team
and
the
public,
and
I
just
want
to
assure
you
that
west
penn
is
always
willing
to
work
with
its
neighbors.
So.
G
Thank
you
very
much
so
dusty
if
I
could
also
again
councilwoman
gross
and
to
all
of
the
city
council,
we
want
to
thank
you
for
again
this
opportunity
to
present
our
institutional
master
plan.
You
know
the
to
the
team
here.
They've
worked
diligently
over
the
course
the
last
two
years
and
also
too
to
the
planning
commission.
We
thank
you
for
all
your
counsel
and
advice,
and
also
to
your
your
concepts
and
also
the
dynamic
of
intervention
as
to
how
we
could
make
our
plan
better,
as
we
continue
to
move
forward.
G
Just
to
conclude
with
two
more
points,
if
I
might
to
the
comments
of
the
community,
please
know
that
we
are
always
listening
and
you
know
what
is
presented
here
is
a
conceptual
plan
to
what
we
believe
could
be
the
future
both
on
a
10
and
25
year
perspective.
We
are,
we
are
always
engaging
right.
You
know
our
our
community
are
also
those
that
utilize
our
services
and
trust,
we're
sensitive
to
that
again
to
what
you
had
noted,
councilman
gross.
You
know
the
community
has
been
there
for
us
in
all
ways.
G
We
want
to
make
sure,
too
that
that
partnership
is
always
addressed
and
maintained,
and,
as
we
go
to
further
steps
of
the
development,
we
would
always
want
to
incorporate
the
community
in
that
planning
in
that
aspect
of
how
it
is
they
help
us
with
design
and
how
it
is
that
we
continue
to
move
forward.
So
it's
again,
you
know
a
good
neighborly
perspective
that
west
penn
and
the
allegheny
health
network
and
highmark
health
takes
with
all
those
that
are
in
and
around
our
campus
in
our
hospital.
G
The
last
note
I
would
like
to
to
bring
forward
I'm
going
to
be
stepping
down
from
my
position
as
president
and
ceo
of
west
penn
hospital
it.
There
are
elements
of
that
physically
will
that
will
happen
very
soon.
There
are
components
of
how
I'll
stay
on
as
an
advisor
through
till
the
end
of
this
year.
I
want
to
thank
both
city
council,
the
city
and
all
of
the
community
that
we
serve
for
this
wonderful
opportunity
that
I've
had
to
be
president
and
ceo
here
at
west
penn.
G
Again,
it's
it's
for
me.
It's
been
an
incredible
career
and
personal
experience
and
I've
enjoyed
meeting
so
many,
including
you
councilwoman
gross.
That's
helped
me
personally
so
much
professionally
as
west
pens
continue
to
map
forward
in
its
success,
dr
brian
johnson,
who's
to
my
left,
who
currently
has
a
mask
on
but
you'll
recognize
him.
Dr
dr.
G
G
It's
been
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
serve
and
again
you're
in
the
best
hands
going
forward
again
great
team
here
you
know
they
are
always
focused
on
mission
and
access
and
again
the
goals
of
how
it
is
that
we
best
serve
our
community
and
again
dr
johnson
will
be
fulfilling
that
role
as
the
search
continues
and
I've
kind
of
nudged
him
that
he
needs
to
throw
his
hat
in
the
ring
which
he's
graciously
agreed
to
do
so
anyway.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
It's
been
an
honor
and
a
privilege
and
a
pleasure.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
