B
Bill
1048
resolution
providing
for
the
designation
of
the
historic
structure
under
title
11
of
the
code
of
ordinances
at
certain
sites,
known
as
melon
park,
located
in
point
breeze,
7th
and
the
14th
ward
of
the
city.
The
city
of
pittsburgh
is
the
owner
of
this
property
and
there
has
been
no
objection
to
the
nomination.

Hello,
everybody,
my
name
is
sarah
quinn
on
the
preservation
planner
for
the
city
and,
as
the
clerk
said,
we
have
a
nomination
for
melon
park
in
front
of
you
all
today,
I'll
go
ahead
and
scroll
back
to
the
photographs,
because
that's
really
what
gives
you
an
idea
of
the
great
the
great
things
this
park
has
but
melon
park
is
a
33-acre
city
park
located
at
the
intersection
of
shadyside
point
breeze
and
score
little
neighborhoods
in
the
east
end
of
pittsburgh.
C
It's
five
miles
from
downtown
is
comprised
of
land
that
were
formerly
the
estates
of
the
melon
marshall,
scafe,
fru
and
darcy
families.
These
private
estates
were
acquired
by
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
unified
into
a
city
park
in
the
middle
1940s
and
50s,
while
rotating
aspects
of
their
original
architecture-
and
I
must
say
this-
is
one
of
the
most
complete
and
thorough
nominations
we've
ever
got.
C
These
guys
did
a
great
job
on
this,
and
I've
pulled
some
some
specific
facts
out,
but
I
certainly
recommend
anybody
that
has
a
further
interest
in
in
the
park
should
definitely
read
the
nominations
posted
on
the
historic
review
commission's
website,
but
back
to
the
part,
the
melon,
the
melon
house,
which
was
once
the
greatest
and
grandest
of
the
mansions.
The
blind
fifth
avenue
was
demolished
prior
to
the
creation
of
the
park,
but
its
associated
gardens
and
landscape
remains
with
varying
degrees
of
integrity.
The
fruit
and
darcy
houses
were
also
demolished.
C
Additional
land
was
acquired
by
the
mountain
by
for
the
park
size,
bringing
the
park
size
to
33
acres
by
the
1950s
landscape,
gardens
designed
for
the
melons
in
the
teens
20s
and
30s
by
alden
and
harlow
battalion
gifford
and
the
olmsted
brothers
are
examples
of
the
best
private
landscape
design
money
could
buy.
In
those
years.
C
Subsequent
landscapes
were
commissioned
to
adapt.
The
melon
estate
and
adjacent
properties
for
use
as
a
public
park,
display
work
of
the
notable
landscape
architecture
in
the
mid
century,
including
ralph,
griswold,
gilmore
d
clark
and
simons,
and
simons,
and
shows
sensitivity
to
the
original
landscape's
historic
character.
C
Basically,
what
happened
the
way
it's
described
is
that,
as
the
20th
20th
century
progressed,
large,
victorian
mansions,
which
is
what
these
homes
were
fell
from
fashion
and
maintenance
costs
rose
as
the
houses
aged
many
of
the
affluent
property
owners
along
fifth
and
penn
avenues,
decamped
for
suburban
homes
in
upscale
suburbs,
such
as
fox
chapel
and
sewickley
heights,
unable
to
sell
their
enormous
city
homes
and
unwilling
to
continue
to
pay
property
taxes
on
them.
Many
families
demolish
them.
C
The
loss
of
millionaires
row
was
hastened
by
legislation
in
the
1940s
that
rezoned
fifth
avenue
to
permit
apartment
buildings
night
in
1908.
The
melons
commissioned
architects,
alden
and
harlow
to
design
a
three
million
dollar
mansion.
This
in
jacobian
revo
revival,
style,
completed
in
1911.,
alden
and
harlow
also
designed
the
landscape
in
romantic
parkland,
formal
gardens
and
architectural
elements.
Most
elaborate
among
these
was
the
terraced
garden
with
its
brick
and
stone
balustrades
garden
walls
of
dark
tapestry,
brick
red
with
terracotta
coating.
C
Perhaps
this
was
his
intention,
but
it's
not
how
commissioned
work
turned
out.
The
melonscape
wedding
took
place
in
an
east
liberty,
presbyterian
church,
while
vitali
and
gifford's
plans
for
the
garden
are
dated
1929
and
sculpture
for
the
garden
and
stone
foundation.
Three
bronze
figures
of
young
women
were
provided
by
edmund
amitayus,
a
sculptor
of
national
renown.
C
The
olmsted
brothers
worked
intermittently
through
1931
with
the
melon
family
during
the
great
depression,
but
did
not
commission
any
more
work
after
that,
most
of
the
olmstead's
firm's
work
consisted
of
updating
and
revising
the
plantings
of
the
grounds
and
gardens
designed
by
alden
harlow.
They
added
a
new
feature,
unlike
any
other
any
other
on
the
property.
A
japanese-themed
lily
pond

the
bend
in
the
drive
of
the
south
end
of
the
beechwood
boulevard,
parkland
excellent
documentation
of
this
and
the
olmsted
brothers.
Other
designs
for
melanin
state
exists,
although
none
of
the
actual
planting
survived.
C
By
1942,
the
final
11
acres
to
be
donated
by
this
melon
scafe
family
were
added
as
a
park
and
a
condition
of
the
gift
include
prohibition
against
through
roads
in
the
park
and
the
city's
commitment
to
maintain
the
melons
landscaping.
Insofar
as
reasonably
good,
consistent
with
proper
said
use
of
property.
C
Days
later
it
says
charles
marshall,
a
steel
executive
and
his
wife,
dora
marshall
offered
a
joining
estate
to
the
city
to
be
used
in
any
manner
authorities
see
located
within
fifth
avenue.
The
two
acre
property,
including
a
large
swank
house
and
carriage
house
city
officials,
differed
on
how
to
receive
this
gift.
Councilman.
A
l
wolf
proposed
dedicating
the
house
to
serve
as
a
cultural
haven
for
artists
musicians,
performers
and
students.
However,
his
colleague
councilman
edward
leonard,
was
opposed
to
accepting
the
property
unless
a
baseball
diamond
could
be
put
upon
it.
C
An
impractical
con
suggestion
due
to
the
slope
of
the
land
on
may
24th
1944
council's
finance
committee
voted
six
to
three
to
add
the
marshall
property
to
melon
park.
Wilkes
faction
prevailed
and
the
following
march,
the
marshall
mansion
opened
to
the
public
as
an
arts
and
crafts
center
and
the
pittsburgh
craft,
arts
and
crafts
center
of
pittsburgh,
with
exhibit
performance
spaces
on
the
ground,
floor
and
offices
for
10-member
organization
on
the
upper
floors
in
1946,
the
melons
donated
three
additional
parcels:
totaling
over
fifth
15
acres,
bringing
the
total
to
29
acres.
C
Finally,
an
additional
four
acres
were
taken
into
the
park
boundaries
as
a
result
of
tax
delinquency.
Let's
see,
while
each
individual
change
over
in
the
park
over
the
years
has
been
minor,
cumulatively
70
years
of
changes
have
had
as
somewhat
of
an
impact
on
the
park.
C
As
far
as
significance
of
the
property
goes,
melon
park
is
seen
as
sort
of
a
museum
for
the
landscape
professional
landscape
architecture.
In
that
I
don't
think,
there's
any
other
place
in
the
country
that
has
more
high
quality,
designed
landscape
available
to
the
public
at
any
given
time
free
of
charge.
C
These
are
places
that
folks
that
were
very,
very
wealthy
had
built,
and
now
anyone
can
go
to
them,
and
that's
that's.
That
is
significant
in
itself.
It's
the
park
is
definitely
an
exemplification
of
innovative
design
and
craftsmanship.
C
And
I
think
for
the
most
part,
that's
what
I
have
for
you
guys
today.
As
I
said,
there's
there's
there's
plenty
in
the
nomination
you
can
read
and
and
the
staff
report,
in
fact
that
I
sent
to
you
all.
E
E
C
E
C
A
Thank
you,
sarah.
I
appreciate
it.
I
learned
something
new.
Every
time
I
hear
the
history
of
melon
park
and
all
of
its
different
properties
that
have
been
combined
into
one.
I
learned
something
new,
so
I
appreciate
that
I
I
do
want
to
open
it
up
to
our
list
of
registered
speakers,
but
before
I
do,
I
wanted
to
just
ask
a
question
so
that
we
have
it
in
the
public
record
and
that
we
have
it
clarified
now.
A
Melon
park
is
a
it's
a
smaller
park,
but
it's
there's
a
lot
packed
in
there
and
I
think
when
people
think
of
melon
park
they
might
think
of
it.
As
you
know,
a
park
that
has
baseball
diamonds
and
a
spray
park
and
basketball
court
and
on
the
other
side
of
fifth,
has
you
know
sprawling,
gardens
and
green
space.
Are
you
able
to
explain
to
the
public
a
little
bit
more
about
what
we
are?
C
In
the
legislation,
as
well
as
in
our
permitting
system,
is
by
parcel,
so
we've
included.
I
think
the
original
nomination
included
five
parcels
and
I
actually
pulled
one
out
because
it
was
the
little
triangular
piece
located
between
several
roads.
C
I
can
see
the
map
in
my
head,
but
I
can't
see
it
all
right:
we've
included
84
s250,
84,
s251,
85
d,
50
and
125
and
200,
and
I
mean
every
nomination.
C
Every
historic
property
is
going
to
be
unique,
especially
this
one
and
what
you
know
we've
got.
The
other
part
we
have
listed
in
the
city
is
allegheny
commons.
So
we
we
have.
We
have
a
history
of
reviewing
projects
and
things
like
that
in
allegheny
commons.
C
I
think
I
think
what
we
need
to
do
here
is
really
sort
of
adapt
our
review
process
to
what
makes
the
most
sense
for
the
park
is
used
for.
I
can
tell
you
actually
yesterday
I
had
a
conversation
with
tony
cavallini,
who
is
the
one
of
the
art
staff
here
with
city
planning,
and
he
actually
asked
me
the
same
question
and
what
I
said
was
if
we
can,
if
we
can
create,
determine
where
sort
of
I
don't
want
to
call
it
a
safe.
F
E
C
I
think
I
think
what
we're
going
to
need
to
do
is
just
handle
things
as
they
come
up,
because
really
it
would
be
folks,
because
it's
a
city
property
we
would
be
dealing
mostly
with
public
works,
so
we
would
just
need
to
see
we
would
just
need.
We
would
just
need
to
evaluate
each
each
project
on
its
own
merits,
and
we
do
that
now.
We
do
that
for
elegant
commons,.
A
C
No,
I
mean
everything
everything
that's
that's
at
the
park.
Right
now
is
grandfathered
in
so
there's
there's
no
there's
no
worries
about
that
and
anything
that's
there
can
be
replaced
in
kind
and
we,
like,
I
said,
we've
done
that
up
at
allegheny
commons,
where
we
had
an
old
playground
equipment
that
was
like
wooden
and
splintered
and
they
wanted
to
replace
it
with
some
kaboom
play
ground
equipment
and
we've
said
as
long
as
it's
like
in
the
same
spot,
I
would
suggest
some
earth
tones
and
that's
what
they
did.
C
A
C
No,
no,
no!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
I
mean,
I
think
I
think
it's
about
it's
about
being
sensible
and
I
think,
as
we
as
time
goes
on
and
as
we
work
through
a
few
of
these,
you
know
we'll
be
able
to
get
into
a
rhythm
with
them.
You
know
it's
just
it's
not
it's
not
as
easy
as
or
not
as
hard
as
people
think
it's.
If
we
can
work,
we
can
work,
we
can
work
through
anything.
We've
always
worked
through
anything.
So
no.
A
B
C
B
G
G
We
don't
really
need
to
answer
this
at
this
time,
but
I
was
also
I
was
clicking
around
on
my
computer
and
I
couldn't
find
my
current
copy
of
the
legislation
in
all
of
the
various
council
agendas.
So
I
was
I'll
look
back
at
that
because
I
was
councilwoman
strasberger's
questions
made
me
think
of
how
our
ordinance
does
or
doesn't
allow
us
to
categorize
or
specify
built
environment
or
hardscape
elements,
or
something
like
that.
G
So
I
really
appreciated
the
fact
that
you
highlighted
that
the
garden
design
itself
was
historically
important
and
and
an
important
element
to
for
us
to
preserve
for
future
generations
and
for
the
common
enjoyment,
but
that
it's
different
than
a
built
structure
like
a
house
that
is
inhabited
right.
G
So
I'd
just
take
a
moment
that
I
need
to
learn
about
like
how
we've
seen
when
I
was
on
the
board
of
the
young
preservation
association
back
when
I
was
young,
we
tried
to
nominate
things
that
were
important
like
fence,
railings
or
stone
walls
or
stairs,
and
so
other
parts
of
the
built
environment
like
would
be
elements
in
a
landscaped
park
that
aren't
what
you
think
of
as
like
a
home
or
a
building
I'll
I'll
go
back
and
do
my
homework
on
this
one
to
to
read
the
full
language
of
the
legislation
so
that
I
can
see
kind
of
how
those
are
being
named.
C
Yeah,
our
our
our
categories
are
based
on
what's
used
by
the
national
register
and
it's
object,
site
building,
and
then
you
could
have
discontiguous
resources
like
out
west.
You
would
have
mines
in
a
minor
camp
or
something
like
that
would
all
be
related,
but
they
would
be
very
distant
or
you
could
do
it
even
in
pennsylvania,
with
like
railroad,
trestles
or
the
city
stops.
Hey.
G
So
from
the
point
of
the
place,
the
things
that
you
can
see
and
trying
to
so
preserve
that
entire
open
space-
it's
just
it's,
I
think
it's
just
just
an
area
of
interest
of
mine.
So
I
appreciate
appreciating
pointers
and
I'll
go
look
for
those
myself,
so
thank
you,
councilwoman
strasburger!
That's
that's
really.
All
I
wanted
to
say
appreciate
it.
A
Thank
you
councilwoman,
with
with
no
more
questions
that
I
can
see.
We
will
now
move
on
to
testimony
from
registered
speakers,
so
I
would
ask
that
the
speakers
who
will
be
unmuted
by
us
please
give
your
name
and
address
for
the
public
record
and
each
speaker
will
have
three
minutes
to
address
counsel
I'll,
also
announce
the
person
that
we
have
next
followed
by
the
person
on
deck
after
that,
so
the
person
we
have
first
up
is
elizabeth
siemens,
followed
by
margaret
abby
wilson.
H
On
I,
can
you
hear
me
we
can
hear
you
elizabeth
hi
hi.
My
name
is
elizabeth
siemens.
I
live
at
549,
glen,
arden
drive
in
pittsburgh,
point
breeze,
section,
I'm
the
president
of
the
friends
of
mellon
park
organization
and
on
behalf
of
our
board
and
all
the
friends
of
mellon
park.
I
just
first
want
to
say
how
deeply
grateful
we
are
to
erica
strasberger
and
also
to
sarah
quinn,
who
have
brought
us
to
this
place
and
have
done
so
much
wonderful
work
and
also
to
matthew
falcone
at
preservation.
H
Pittsburgh
there's
so
many
people
to
thank.
We.
We
just
have
been
so
lucky
in
in
the
people
who
have
mentored
us
and
helped
us,
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
in
coveted
times
you
don't
get
to
feel
hopeful
all
that
often-
and
this
is
just
a
wonderful
moment
when
we
we
feel
good
about
city
council.
We
we
have
indications
that
this
historic
nomination
will
go
through.
H
I,
I
don't
have
to
tell
you
how
important
it
is.
I
will
point
out
that
it's
located
at
a
crossroads
in
our
city,
where
shadyside
and
squirrel
hill
meet
east
liberty,
where
larmor
and
north
and
south
point
breeze
come
together
and
where
we
really
feel
that
the
preservation
of
this
park
is
going
to
give
us
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
build
equity
and
community
across
a
whole
section
of
the
east
end
of
pittsburgh,
so
that
everybody
can
enjoy
this
park
on
both
sides
of
fifth
avenue.
H
There's
lots
of
work
to
be
done
in
the
park.
There
are
two
historic
buildings
whose
future
is
uncertain:
there's
terrace
gardens
that
are
in
disrepair.
There's
lots
and
lots
always
lots
to
do
in
public
spaces,
and
we
just
love
having
you
all
as
partners,
and
we
we
look
forward
to
the
adventure
to
come.
So
just
thank
you,
and
here
we
go.
I
Farrington,
thank
you
so
much
councilwoman,
strasburger
and
councilwoman
gross.
It's
nice
to
see
you.
You
can't
see
me
but
hello,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
all
the
public
servants
who
are
working
to
make
this
meeting
possible
and
adapting
and
all
this
craziness
you
all
just
do
a
really
amazing
job
and
I'll
also
say
that
as
a
woman
I
am
so
proud
to
see
a
female
sign
language
interpreter
and
just
I'm
just
really
my
cup
runneth
over
and
to
echo
some
of
what
mrs
siemens
said.
I
It's
really
been
an
honor
and
a
pleasure
to
be
a
part
of
this
journey
and
I
enthusiastically
support
the
historic
designation
of
melon
park.
I'm
sharing
this
testimony
on
behalf
of
dozens
of
my
friends
who
have
spent
many
many
decades
playing
and
walking
and
thinking
in
in
the
park.
Many
of
us
went
to
school
across
the
street
and
many
of
us
have
come
to
know
the
park
more
recently.
I
I
am
definitely
not
an
expert
on
the
historic
status
of
the
property,
but
that's
obviously
been
well
documented,
so
I
won't
attempt
to
cover
that
ground,
but
as
a
former
public
servant,
I
do
also
want
to
just
share
my
enthusiasm
for
the
power
that
this
designation
would
afford
all
the
people
who
enjoy
melon
park
and
make
its
existence
possible
to
really
protect
that
space
going
forward
and
to
ensure
that
its
evolution
over
time
unfolds
in
a
in
a
public
and
community
oriented
way,
and
I
also
just
want
to
thank
you,
councilwoman
strasberger,
for
raising
the
questions
about
the
active
side
of
melon
park,
because
I
do
think
it's
so
important
to
clarify
for
the
public
that
we
also
want
to
preserve
activities
there.
I
That
might
not
be
part
of
this,
like
super
historic
landscape
design.
So
I
think
that's
all,
but
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Everyone
and
oh.
I
should
also
share
that.
I
serve
on
the
board
of
the
friends
of
melon
park
as
well
have
a
great
day.
J
Yeah,
I
couldn't
hear
you
for
a
minute
there.
My
name
is
kathleen
farrington.
I
live
at
602,
south
lyon
avenue
in
point
breeze
and
I'm
also
the
president
of
the
point
breeze
organization
we
recently
with
council
person,
strasberger's
help
became
a
registered
community
organization
and
mellon
park
is
within
our
borders.
J
J
It's
a
huge
asset
to
point
breeds
both
for
recreation
and
some
events
such
as
beethoven,
bach
and
brunch,
which
I
hope
we
can
get
back
to
soon,
and
I
also
like
the
fair
in
the
park
each
other,
it's
one
of
my
favorite
outdoor
events
and
I
hope
we
can
get
back
to
that
soon
as
well.
I
also
have
a
personal
interest
in
the
park
in
that
my
daughter
was
married
there
22
years
ago.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
for
your
help.
Council
pearson
strasburger
and
that's
all
I
have
to
say.
D
Okay,
I'm
matthew
falcone,
I'm
the
president
of
preservation,
pittsburgh
and
our
organization
has
worked
with
a
myriad
of
neighbors
and
community
groups
to
bring
this
nomination
in
front
of
you
today
and
what
I
can
say
that
has
not
already
been
said
is
just
how
wonderful
it's
it's
been
to
see
the
community
so
engaged
and
so
enthusiastically
supportive
of
looking
at
this
park
through
a
historical
lens
and
ensuring
that
it
has
a
kind
of
a
bright
and
vibrant
future.
D
And
you
know
it's
been
a
real
pleasure
to
work
with
everyone,
and
in
addition
to
that,
I
will
say
that
the
park
itself
is
an
absolute
gem
in
pittsburgh.
You
know
our.
D
In
partnership
with
the
parks
conservancy
in
with
the
city
for
years,
looking
at
our
parks,
regional
assets
and
trying
to
raise
their
historical
kind
of
information
into
the
public's
view
and
and
mellon
park
is
kind
of
a
wonderful
addition
to
that
to
that
program,
and
I
hope
that
all
of
council
will
move
to
make
this
a
historic
landmark
with
the
city.
F
Riley
hi,
my
name
is
brandon
reilly.
I
live
at
410,
lamar
avenue
in
region
square,
and
I
am
pleased
to
be
here
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
pittsburgh
parks.
Conservancy
and
our
support
of
the
historic
designation
for
mullin
park.
F
The
two
sides
of
the
park
really
exemplify
two
distinct
periods
of
park,
planning
or
landscape
architecture.
With
you
know,
the
former
mellon
estate
exemplifying
private
estate
design
from
the
early
19th
century
or
20th
century
sorry
that
was,
you
know,
really
intended
for
the
enjoyment
of
the
wealthy
elite,
but
is
now
a
public
asset
that
people
can
access
for
free
anywhere
from
the
city
and
on
the
north
side,
the
north
section.
F
The
active
section
is
really
an
example
of
some
of
the
sound
design
principles
of
public
park,
design
and
planning
from
the
1950s
and
that
the
designers
were
able
to
provide
a
variety
of
active
and
passive
recreational
amenities
in
a
relatively
small
footprint.
But
yet
the
park
still
feels
open
and
doesn't
feel
overcrowded,
but
both
of
those
both
sides
of
the
park
taken
together
really
are
provided
a
number
of
active
and
passive
recreation
opportunities
and
they're.
D
F
A
Thank
you
brandon.
Next
up
we
have
raymond
baum
and
I
also
wanted
to
acknowledge
I'm
trying
to
text
her,
but
I
don't
know
if
it's
going
through
this
joy.
If
you
can
hear
us,
we
we
did
try
to
unmute
you,
but
it
seems
like
there
are
some
technical
difficulties
and
I,
if
you
can
dress,
we
can
try
to
get
you
a
phone
number
for
you
to
call
in
by
by
phone
instead,
so
you
can
offer
your
testimony,
but
in
the
meantime,
raymond
is
up
next.
Thank
you.
K
Good
afternoon
I'm
ray
baum.
I
live
at
1628
c
overton
lane
pittsburgh
15217,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
squirrel
hill
urban
coalition,
which
is
located
at
5604
salway
street
pittsburgh,
one
five,
two
one.
Seven.
First
of
all,
personally,
I
wanna
endorse
everything.
That's
been
said
before
and
express
my
you
know
gratitude
for
the
way
this
has
all
been
handled,
especially
by
friends
of
melon
park
and
sarah
quinn
and
councilwoman
strasberger.
My
my
statement,
which
I've
submitted
in
writing
is
brief,
is
brief.
K
The
squirrel
urban
coalition
supports
the
proposed
historic
designation
of
melon
park,
as
recommended
by
the
city
historic.
His
review
commission
mellon
park
is
a
precious
jewel
that
greatly
enhances
the
community
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
The
coalition
has
been
working
with
in
supporting
the
point
breeze
organization
and
the
friends
of
mellon
park
to
protect,
preserve
and
enhance
melon
park.
K
We
submitted
a
letter
supporting
the
nomination
of
mellon
park
for
historic
status
when
the
application
began.
We
support
the
historic
review
commission's
finding
that
melon
park
qualifies
for
historic,
designation
under
title
11
of
the
city
code,
section
b3,
it's
an
exemplification
of
architectural
type,
style
and
designs.
A
At
this
time
we
have
exhausted
our
speakers
list
and
I
wanted
to
open
it
up
to
we'll
still
try
to
through
email,
try
to
see
if
we
can
get
our
additional
speaker
calling
in
or
or
her
testimony
read
in
some
way
or
another.
But
in
the
meantime
I
just
want
to
open
it
up
to
come.
First,
do.
G
A
Supportive
thank
you
and
I'll,
just
I'll
close
by
saying
that
I
really
want
to
thank
the
speakers
for
coming
out.
A
I
also
wanted
to
know
that
we
received
37
separate
other
comments
in
support
of
this
historic
designation
landmark
status,
and
I
think
that
between
the
the
diversity
of
comments
that
we've
heard
around
all
the
different
aspects
and
facets
of
the
park,
in
addition
to
the
written
comments,
we've
received,
there's
clearly
community
support
for
this,
and
I
can
say
surely
that
I
support
this
bill,
I'm
in
favor
of
it
passing
and
that
my
colleagues
will
join
me
in
passing
this
overwhelmingly.
A
So
I'm
grateful
to
everyone
who
came
out
grateful
to
those
who
have
worked
so
hard
to
get
us
to
this
point,
including
you
know,
friends
of
ellen
park.
Point:
freeze
organization,
squirrel
hill,
urban
coalition,
preservation,
pittsburgh
and
sarah
quinn
routine.
So
thank
you.
Everyone
and
what
I
will
also
do
is
ensure
that
our
speaker,
who
did
not
get
to
speak
today,
but
there
that
their
testimony
is,
is
made
public.
A
We'll
make
sure
that
your
testimony
is
is
made
public
and
is
distributed
in
a
special
email
to
all
accounts,
so
they
are
able
to
see
it
as
well.
I
apologize
and
and
with
that
I
think
that
we
can
close
so
having
exhausted
the
business
of
this
meeting.
This
meeting
is
adjourned.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
