Thank.
A
A
So
our
first
order
of
business
will
be
an
introduction
to
this
to
this
bill
in
its
entirety
of
by
City
Planning
and
we
are
joined
by
Kate
rakis.
If
you
could
please,
actually
we
have
some
other
invited
guests.
I
just
mentioned
that
we'll
present
as
well
and
but
we'll
we'll
start
with
City
Planning.
C
Thank
you
yeah.
My
name
is
Kate
rakis
and
I'm,
a
principal
planner
in
zoning
and
development
review.
This
is
a
resolution
for
a
new
institutional
master
plan
for
Allegheny
General
Hospital,
the
Planning
Commission.
At
its
meeting
on
June
13th
2023
made
a
positive
recommendation
to
city
council
with
the
following
condition.
C
Applicants
shall
continue
community
meeting
discussions
regarding
ongoing
concerns,
around
noise,
construction
management
building,
massing
Etc
prior
to
review
and
approval
or
product
development
plan
under
the
institutional
master
plan.
So
this
condition
relates
to
the
individual
project
approvals.
The
project
development
plans
for
future
Hospital
expansion
applications.
So
there's
no
additional
action
relating
to
the
institutional
master
plan
needed
at
this
time
and
as
per
required
by
the
zoning
code.
Mailed
and
posted
notice
of
this
public
hearing
was
made
21
days
in
advance.
A
Great,
that's!
That's
all!
On
your
end,
all
right!
Thank
you
for
going
over
that
I
wanted
to
just
mention
that
we
do
have
some
invited
guests
here.
At
least
the
applicant
I
think
it
brings
good
context
to
the
conversation
for
the
public
as
well.
A
A
F
A
Thanks
for
coming
today
and
then
sit
back
and
listen
to
what
you've,
what
you're
gonna
present.
D
Thanks
all
right,
so
thank
you
very
much
for
the
for
the
time
today
to
present
the
institutional
master
plan
for
Allegheny
General
Hospital
this
afternoon,
we're
requesting
approval
for
the
agh
institutional
master
plan.
Most
recently,
we
received
imp
approval
in
2018,
which
really
led
to
the
construction
of
our
new
cancer
center
and
and
really
this
imp
builds
upon
a
number
of
goals
that
we've
identified
in
previous
plans,
but
also
ongoing
planning
throughout
the
campus
at
agh
and
various
Communications
with
the
communities
that
surround
agh.
D
D
One
of
the
things
to
highlight
is
our
community
health
needs
assessment,
which
we
do
and
refresh
every
three
years,
but
it's
really
an
opportunity
to
Define
what
the
community
needs
are
from
a
health
needs
standpoint
as
well
as
really
lead
our
strategic
planning
associated
with
with
how
to
address
those
needs
and
make
sure
that
the
hospital
is
in
a
position
to
continue
to
grow
and
support
the
communities
that
we
serve.
D
One
of
the
other
things
that
that
you'll
that
is
identified
here
is
really
a
number
of
our
health.
Our
health
programs
that
we're
offering
specifically
calling
out
is
the
mobile
health
clinics
that
we
we
rotate
throughout
the
the
North
Side
neighborhood,
but
also
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
is
it
relates
to
health
screenings,
vaccines
and
really
kind
of
tying
back
to
the
the
needs
of
the
health
of
improving
the
health
of
the
community.
D
One
of
the
last
things
to
highlight
on
this
slide
and
really
tying
to
to
the
impact
of
the
community
is,
is
the
work
around
Workforce
Development,
we've
partnered,
with
a
number
of
groups
in
the
community
to
really
drive
that
from
from
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools
to
the
summer.
Learn
and
earn
program
to
Northside
works
and
in
a
great
collaboration
with
the
Northside
Chamber
of
Commerce,
to
continue
to
build
it,
the
pipeline
of
of
Workforce,
not
just
at
the
hospital
but
overall
in
the
community.
D
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
slide
really
identifies
what
our
objectives
are
throughout
the
institutional
master
plan
as
I
referenced
before
we're
constantly
going
through
a
strategic
planning
process
of
defining
what
the
needs
of
Allegheny
General
Hospital
are,
and
that
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
advancing
care
kind
of
highlighting
here
is
really
we
have.
Four
primary
objectives
is
one
to
transition
to
fully
private
patient
rooms
in
the
facility.
D
Obviously,
coming
out
of
covid,
we
identified
that
this
was
a
large
gap
and
clearly
the
need
to
move
towards
a
a
fully
private
room
care.
Delivery
model
is
key.
The
second
one
is
really
optimizing
service
lines.
Obviously,
this
is
a
a
fairly
aged
campus,
where
we
have
disparate
clinics
kind
of
scattered
throughout,
so
really
the.
How
do
we
consolidate
and
co-locate
services?
This
will
improve
wayfinding
patient
experience
and
the
team-based
care
that
we
are
we're
constantly
trying
to
deliver.
D
Thirdly,
is
really
modernizing
the
the
facility
in
total,
obviously
with
technology,
changing
as
it
relates
to
equipment
size
of
teams,
space
standards,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
positioned
to
to
continue
to
keep
up
with
the
technology
and
the
care
that
is
expected
in
the
communities
and
where
Healthcare
is
going
and,
lastly,
which
I
think
we've
spent
a
great
deal
of
time
is
to
continue
to
engage
the
community,
making
sure
that
we're
meeting
their
needs
from
a
clinical
perspective,
but
also
that
the
facility
continues
to
support
the
needs
of
the
community.
D
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
I
would
just
like
to
highlight,
while
agh
is
not
in
an
rco
territory,
we
have
spent
a
great
deal
of
time
working
with
the
communities
sharing
our
plans,
and
this
slide
really
illustrates
the
various
meetings
that
we've
had
to
make
sure
that
we
were
engaging
them
on
their
ideas,
thoughts,
Improvement,
but
also
sharing
kind
of
where
we
are
going
from
a
planning
standpoint.
D
D
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
it
would
just
like
to
to
highlight
briefly
is
through
these
various
meetings.
We
heard
a
lot
from
the
community
and
just
to
highlight
some
of
the
things
that
we
did
and
and
our
response
and
I
think
these
are
not
a
one-time
response
and
done.
D
These
are
ongoing
conversations
and
communication
that
we'll
have,
but
just
to
highlight
a
few
is
there
were
obviously
concerns
related
to
the
expansion
of
agh
and
and
bleeding
into
the
North
Side
Community
further
than
we
are
currently,
and
we
obviously
heard
this
and
and
Our
intention
is
not
to
change
the
boundaries
of
the
Emi
district
and
stay
within
our
existing
footprint,
which
cat
will
review
shortly.
D
There
were
concerns
related
to
the
helipad.
This
has
been,
and
will
continue
to
be,
a
focus
of
this
imp,
both
in
in
addressing
current
concerns
on
the
current
location
and
the
noise
associated
with
that,
but
also
associated
with.
If
and
when
we
were
to
move
it,
making
sure
that
we
take
into
account
the
impact
to
the
surrounding
communities
that
may
be
impacted
concerns
related
to
the
height
of
future
projects.
D
Obviously,
concerns
related
to
employee
parking,
visitor
parking
and
overall
traffic
Cindy
will
touch
on
this
slightly,
but
we
do
utilize
off-campus
parking.
Our
intention
is
not
to
change
that
practice.
We
have
a
shuttle
service
for
many
of
our
employees
on
a
day-to-day
basis
to
reduce
the
traffic
and
make
sure
that
we're
not
impacting
congestion
in
the
area
and
and
Our
intention
is
to
keep
that
going.
D
The
last
one
is
really
continued.
Our
continued
focus
on
on
communication
with
the
community
as
we
continue
any
plans
associated
with
the
expansion
of
this
of
our
campus,
is
to
continue
to
to
leverage
and
provide
input
and
feedback
to
the
communities
that
we
serve
and,
and
our
primary
Avenue
again
will
probably
most
likely
be
the
north
side
leadership
conference,
but
have
continued
to
build
and
keep
strong
Community
lines
of
communication
open
with
the
various
communities,
specifically
the
ones
that
directly
surround
Allegheny
General
Hospital.
E
Thank
you
Mark,
so
agh
is
an
urban
campus.
That's
located
in
the
Central
North
Side
neighborhood,
just
to
kind
of
level
set
everybody
on
the
location
and
the
campus
is
directly
adjacent
to
a
variety
of
neighborhoods,
the
fine
view
neighborhood
to
the
North
East
Allegheny
to
the
East
and
Allegheny
Center
to
the
South.
The
campus
itself
is
in
an
Emi
or
an
educational,
Medical,
Institution
District.
The
agh
campus
is
the
large,
the
two
large
red
blocks
in
the
middle
and
the
light
blue
surrounding
it
is
the
extent
of
the
Emi
District.
E
The
red
dashed
boundary
identifies
the
area
of
the
Imp
that
the
Imp
directly
affects,
and
it's
also
the
same
as
the
Emi
District.
The
black
dashed
line.
That's
that's
wider!
That's
the
1000
foot
boundary
around
the
Emi
district,
and
that
constitutes
the
entire
study
area
of
the
Imp.
So,
as
part
of
this
process,
we
looked
at
impacts
of
the
community
surrounding
the
campus
and
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
the
photographs
here
show
images
of
the
existing
the
buildings
that
are
on
the
campus
to
show
some
context.
E
There
are
11
buildings
that
are
on
the
campus,
as
you
can
see,
it's
a
fairly
dense,
Urban
site
and
there
are
a
variety
of
medical
buildings
as
well
as
some
parking
garages,
and
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
the
Imp
process,
as
identified
in
the
City
Zoning
code,
requires
that
we
identify
10-year
development
sites
and
potential
25-year
development
sites,
and
so
the
10-year
development
sites
are
in
that
bluish,
teal
color
and
the
25-year
development
sites
are
in
the
green
color
and
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
we'll
take
a
deeper
dive
into
the
10-year
development
sites.
E
So
the
colored
masses
that
you
see
on
the
screen
are
the
10-year
development
sites.
In
a
little
bit
more
detail,
these
blocks
represent
the
the
maximum
allowable
area
that
the
code
will
permit
us
to
do
without
seeking
a
variance.
So
none
of
these
are
designed
buildings.
These
are
all
just
the
the
greatest
allowable
envelope
that
that
a
project
would
be
permitted
to
fill
and
should
should
agh
decide
to
pursue
construction
new
construction
on
any
of
these
identified
sites.
There
would
be
another
Community
engagement
process.
E
E
And
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
the
this
slide
identifies
the
investigation
that
we
did
into
the
both
the
materials
and
the
the
context
of
the
neighborhood
for
the
Urban
Design
guidelines.
So
some
of
the
images
you
see
are
from
the
campus
that
identify
the
materials
present
on
campus,
so
brick
metal,
panel,
glass,
Etc
and
then
on
the
right.
E
And
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide.
These
are.
This
is
a
snapshot
of
the
environmental
and
sustainability
goals
that
we
identified
through
the
master
planning
process.
So
we
took
a
look
at
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
goals,
the
Allegheny
General
Hospital
goals
and
looked
at
how
they
aligned
or
brought
them
into
alignment
as
part
of
this
process
depending
upon
the
goals
and
the
agh
campus
is
a
signatory
to
the
AIA
2030
district.
F
Okay,
this
will
be
a
brief
summary
of
the
transportation
study
that
was
performed
as
directed
by
Domi.
This
first
slide
shows
on
the
left,
the
existing
parking
capacity
on
the
campus
and
assignment
by
employees
versus
patients
and
visitors,
and
also
includes
reference
to
the
off-site
parking
previously
referenced
in
the
future.
The
parking
situation
on
campus
looks
about
the
same
with
the
potential
removal
of
the
hemlock
lot.
If
a
building
project
should
be
Advanced
on
that
location,
there
will
be
continued
use
of
the
off-site
parking
with
shuttle
service
for
employees.
F
F
This
busy
little
slide
shows
the
intersections
and
driveways
that
we
studied
to
look
at
capacity
delays
and
optimal
function
all
around
the
campus
and
the
outcome
of
this
was
to
develop
a
program
of
optimized
traffic
signal
timings
and
to
verify
where
stop
signs
and
such
would
be
needed
or
continue
to
be
in
place
with
the
project.
F
The
other
part
of
the
Mobility
plan
is
enhancement
of
the
already
existing
Institute
Transportation
demand
management
plan
for
the
campus
and
identification
of
some
additional
methods
to
decrease
the
number
of
single
occupant
vehicles
and
increase
the
knowledge
of
and
ability
to
use,
alternative
modes
to
come
to
the
campus
and
that
over
time
there
will
be
updates
given
to
Domi
to
enhance
that
process
and
adjust
it
as
necessary.
A
Sorry
bear
with
me:
we
have
new
mics
and
every
time
I
hit
the
mute
button.
It's
a
little.
It's
just
a
couple
seconds
slower
than
what
I'm
used
to,
but
I
love
it.
A
Thank
you,
imp,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
everyone
can
hear
me
on
the
microphone,
because
I
wanted
to
mention
that
you
know
you
have
a
slide
deck
that
you
just
presented
and
just
spoke
with
the
clerk
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
that's
attached
to
the
to
the
bill
so
that
everyone
can
can
see
that
because
I've
seen
it
but
obviously,
for
you
know
people
in
person
right
here
you
it's
definitely
too
small,
but
that's
just
the
nature
of
trying
to
put
a
lot
of
information
on
it.
A
Some
slides
and
I
want
to
get
us
to
some
context
because
you
know
in
terms
of
the
slides,
but
also
the
nature
of
this
type
of
meeting
it's
a
public
hearing.
So,
although
I
have
lots
of
questions,
I'd
like
to
ask
you
in
public
right
here,
it's
not
the
time
to
do
it,
we're
going
to
hear
from
the
public
on
what
they
you
know
what
they
think
of
the
project.
A
Now
move
to
public
testimony
from
the
registered
speakers-
and
this
is
for
the
registered
speakers
this
this
you
know
I
just
want
to
set
the
rules
of
of
what's
going
to
take
place
here.
So
please
give
your
name
and
address
for
the
public
record.
Really,
you
know,
I
think
the
name
and
neighborhood
is
sufficient
right.
A
I,
don't
think
given
your
individual
address
would
be
yeah,
that's
a
bit
specific,
but
I
am
writing
reading
off
a
cheat
sheet.
So
just
bear
with
me
and
after
after
this
list
of
speakers,
we
will
have
speakers
that
didn't
register
in
advance.
A
So,
unlike
the
speakers
that
have
registered,
they
will
get
three
minutes
and
everyone
else
who
didn't
register
will
get
one
minute
to
address.
Council.
A
So,
actually,
you
know
what
we
don't
have
the
many
people
in
person
so
we'll
allow
them
three
minutes
as
well.
I
think
that's
appropriate.
So,
regardless
all
speakers
will
get
three
minutes
and
our
first
speaker
is.
G
Last
six
years
at
1204,
the
Rain
Street
one
block
from
Allegheny
General
Hospital's
current
teleport.
When
the
helicopter
first
appeared
here,
it
did
so
with
little
to
no
communication
with
the
neighborhood.
The
heliport
was
placed
at
ground
level
at
the
very
edge
of
the
hospital's
campus.
At
that
time,
the
adjacent
neighborhood,
which
is
where
I
now
live,
was
very
depressed,
with
many
deteriorating
and
abandoned
properties.
G
However,
after
recent
upgrading
developments
around
other
parts
of
Central
north
side
and
along
Federal
Street
people
have
begun
to
move
in
and
renovate
more
and
more
of
this
section
of
the
neighborhood.
However,
currently
we
all
lack
one
amenity
of
City
living
and
that's
being
able
to
fully
enjoy
an
outside
life
in
warmer
weather,
the
unbelievably
almost
debilitating
noise
of
the
helicopter,
which
is
only
one
story
above
ground
level,
with
no
sound
baffles
to
detonate
and
the
smell
of
burning
fuel
oil,
which
has
to
be
causing
damage
to
respiratory
systems,
drive
us
indoors.
G
Every
time
we
endured
not
just
the
time
while
it
sits,
while
the
helicopter
sits
revving
its
Motors,
but
again
because
it's
near
ground
level,
we
have
to
wait
until
it
has
risen.
50
or
so
feet
above
the
canopy
of
trees
before
it
can
take
off
and
our
ears
could
rest.
It
was
only
last
year
that
I
discovered
that
the
Snyder
Pavilion,
the
tall,
aluminum
or
steel
plaid
building
was
built
to
specifically
house
the
helicopter
on
its
roof.
It
has
an
already
built
Elevator
Shaft,
going
directly
to
or
near
to
the
emergency
rooms.
G
I
heartily
support,
moving
the
heliport
to
that
originally
planned
placement
being
already
above
the
canopy
of
trees.
It
can
rise
and
quickly
take
off,
but
I
have
two
suggestions,
the
first
of
which
I
hope
members,
the
city
council
will
insist
on,
and
that
is
that
they
include
putting
sound,
baffles,
that
absorb
and
or
direct
the
noise
away
from
residential
areas,
and
second,
as
it
is
the
least
costly
requiring
the
least
amount
of
planning
approvals.
G
A
Thank
you
Joan
and
I,
just
want
to
mention,
for
our
next
speaker
is
if,
for
some
reason,
you're
you're
cut
off.
That's
because
you're
over
the
three
minutes,
it
didn't
happen
for
you
Joan,
but
I
just
want
to
mention,
because
sometimes
it
happens
and
speakers
are
then
concerned
that
their
comments
won't
be
heard,
and
so
you
can
email
comments
to
our
clerk.
If
you
could
mention
the
address.
D
H
Thank
you
yeah.
This
is
Rebecca
white
I
live
on
James
Street
in
the
corner
of
Dunlow
Avenue,
my
husband
and
I
invested
in
our
property.
13
years
ago.
We
were
the
original
family
that
moved
into
this
row
of
town
homes
and
I
can
tell
you
for
the
last
13
years,
I've
thoroughly
enjoyed
living
in
my
neighborhood.
H
However,
we
have
had
multiple
projects
since
I
moved
in
at
the
hospital,
including
parking
garage
repairs,
the
new
entrance
in
the
back,
the
Kansas
cancer
cancer
center,
that's
recently
being
renovated,
I,
don't
even
know
if
it
was
the
HVAC,
but
something
that
went
way
up
to
the
top
of
the
building.
That
was
just
years
and
years
and
years
since
we've
been
here.
There's
always
something
going
on.
H
H
Regarding
the
noise
reduction,
making
sure
that
when
people
come
to
do
the
job,
they
don't
get
here
before
7
A.M,
they
aren't
idling
outside
of
our
Windows.
The
trash
is
completely
picked
up.
Are
you
measuring
how
many
additional
people
will
be
taking
part
in
the
reduction
of
you
know
carpooling
or
bicycling?
H
A
I
My
name
is
Pastor
Ken
Turnbull
I'm,
with
Allegheny
Center
Alliance
Church
I've
had
the
privilege
of
actually
growing
up
there.
I
My
dad
put
me
in
the
front
queue
in
1972
and
said:
Pay
attention
and
I've
been
on
staff
now
for
40
years
and
still
learning
I
want
to
speak
to
the
Community
Connection
that's
been
going
on
and
I
can
honestly
say
it
is
the
best
it
has
ever
been
with
Allegheny
General
Hospital
40
years
ago,
I
couldn't
have
stood
up
and
said
that
it
was
a
very
different
world
30
years
ago
with
the
bankruptcy
and
all
that
it
was
a
total
mess.
I
And
so
it
gives
me
great
confidence
that
the
master
plan
is
in
front
of
you
and
again
it's
more
just
colored
pictures
that
are
an
opportunity
for
us
to
dream
into
and
think
about
how
to
make
the
north
side
a
stronger
and
better
community.
And
so
I
just
speak
in
favor
of
it,
because
I
see
the
level
of
collaboration
so
much
higher
and
the
level
of
trust.
So
much
higher
and
I
just
want
to
express
my
appreciation
to
the
the
health
network
for
the
work
they've
done
to
rebuild
trust
in
our
community.
J
To
speak
here
today,
my
name
is
Doug:
camper
I
live
on
Sue,
Smith
Street
in
the
neighborhood
of
East
Allegheny
or
deutschtown
I'm.
Currently,
the
president
for
the
East
Allegheny
Community
Council,
which
is
the
neighborhood
group
organization
that
is
immediately
a
Jason
or
southeast
of
the
campus
for
agh
just
on
behalf
of
the
East
Allegheny
Community
Council,
which
represents
the
style
gaming
neighborhood,
which
is
the
closest
rco
or
one
of
the
few
rcos
that
is
adjacent
to
the
campus
agh,
has
been
very
cooperative
and
collaborative
throughout
this
whole
and
institutional
master
plan
process.
J
J
I
think
there's
ways
that
we
can
find
solutions
to
some
of
these
things
and
all
in
all,
I
think
they've
been
very
responsive
to
what
we
as
a
community
have
brought
forward
and
the
condition
that
City
Planning
passed
along
with
their
approval,
still
holds
true
for
us
from
a
neighborhood
perspective
that
we
would
still
have
that
further
engagement
as
we
go
through
the
process,
but
from
our
our
neighborhood
community
group
perspective,
we're
in
support
of
the
institutional
master
plan
and
a
continued
and
collaborative
process
moving
forward.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
K
A
About
that
you're
good,
you
can
begin
thank.
K
You
for
the
opportunity,
my
name
is
David
Cercone
I
am
a
homeowner
on
Porterfield,
Street
and
Joan
point.
My
neighbor
pointed
out
all
the
bad
things
that
happened
to
her
with
the
heliport,
including
you
know,
very
loud
noise
from
the
helicopter
exhaust
fumes.
You
know
all
the
fuel
that
is
burned
when
they're
taking
off
and
Landing
everybody's
aware
of
that.
K
Now
the
problems
going
away
from
Joan
and
it's
getting
moved
to
me
and,
as
you
can
see
in
the
Imp
map,
Porterfield
street,
is
a
baseball
throw
away
from
the
hospital
and
the
relocation
of
that
helipad
is
going
to
put
on
your
burden
on
the
Resonance
of
my
street
and
I
would
oppose
the
movement
of
that
helipad,
based
on
moving
the
problem
from
one
art
of
the
campus
to
another
party.
K
Even
though
it's
temporary
I
would
expect
that
this
construction
project
is
probably
going
to
be
over
a
year
based
on
the
size
of
what's
put
in
the
ikm
report.
K
Matter
of
fact,
I
bought
the
home
because
you
can't
hear
the
heliport
very
well
from
where
my
house
was
located
and
now
that's
gonna
get
totally
put
into
a
180
and
it's
going
to
be
a
major
burden,
as
Jones
described
in
her
comments
and
I
really
want
the
the
hospital
or
maybe
considered
just
buying
out
the
residential
Parcels.
You
know
between
Sandusky,
Street
and
Porterfield,
and
you
know,
move
us
to
another
part
of
the
neighborhood
where
we
don't
have
to
deal
with
the
helicopter
noise.
K
K
So
that's
why
I
would
like
to
put
out
there
for
the
council
that
the
hospital
should
consider
just
making
offers
to
neighbors
for
the
properties
that
are
going
to
be
highly
impacted
by
The
increased
noise
burden,
the
increase
air
pollution
burden,
all
the
workers
that
are
going
to
be
moving
into
our
neighborhood
during
the
upcoming
Construction,
and
that's
pretty
much
all
that
I
have
to
say
I,
appreciate
everybody's
time
and
giving
me
this
opportunity
to
speak
today.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
David,
and
we're
going
to
move
to
anyone
that
showed
up
in
person
to
give
public
comment.
You
have
three
minutes
and
we'll
just
self-regulate
this.
So
whoever
would
like
to
come
up
first.
Please
do
so
now
state
your
name
and
neighborhood
for
the
record,
and
you
can
just
begin
speaking
whenever
you're
ready,
because
the
timer
will
start
then.
L
Good
afternoon
I
thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
come
before
Council
here
this
afternoon.
I
do
have
three
different
letters,
but
I
can
do
one
and
then
submit
the
other
two
to
record.
However,
you
want
to
handle
that
is
up
to
you.
You
can
let
me
know.
First
I'm
going
to
read
the
letter
on
behalf
of
Manchester
residence.
My
name
is
Lashawn
Burton,
Faulk
and
I.
L
If
there
were
a
singular
thought
that
the
community
might
like
to
leave
behind
for
those
attending
today
is
that
Health
Care
is
changing.
Yes,
people
get
hurt
and
get
sick
things
can
be
acute
or
folks
could
have
been
living
with
their
issues
with
or
without
knowing
community-based
hospitals
are
important.
They
provide
a
safe
space
agh.
L
I
hear
residents
comment
on
Partnerships
with
entities
like
project
Destiny,
Thrive
18
that
are
supported
and
partnered
with
agh
and
that
folks
find
that
the
most
vulnerable
or
at
risk
residents
that
need
assistance
are
very
well
taken.
Care
of
agh
is
a
friend
a
partner,
a
thought
thinker
and
mindful
of
the
immediate
neighbors
and
the
region
that
they.
M
L
Master
planning
is
valuable.
It
allows
the
institutions
and
those
served
to
understand
the
plan
and
the
process
towards
the
future.
Agh
has
met
the
community
on
and
off
their
campus
to
discuss.
The
plan
agh
has
made
changes
based
on
the
comment
of
community
and
input.
A
leave
behind
for
Council
here
today
is
that
agh
doesn't
interact
with
the
community
when
a
master
plan
is
up
for
review.
Agh
is
consistently
meeting
and
engaging
with
the
community
via
boots
on
the
ground
daily.
L
If
Community
residents
have
issues,
they
have
the
ability
to
get
ahead
of
those
issues
as
a
result
of
the
relationship
building
that
they
sow
in
the
community
every
day
on
behalf
of
the
residents
that
I
serve,
I
am
here
to
offer
their
support
and
ask
the
master
plan
meet
your
approval,
MCC
on
behalf
of
manchesterians,
as
stated,
that's
the
end
of
the
Manchester
letter
of
support
for
the
master
plan.
L
There
is
another
letter
here
from
the
former
real
estate
director
of
the
Northside
leadership
conference,
Darnell
Jackson,
in
support
of
another
letter
that
I
am
in
receipt
of
and
delivering.
Today
is
a
letter
in
support
of
by
Virginia
arlandis,
who
is
a
Manchester
and
Resident
living
at
1321
Sheffield
and
owes
her
life
here
today
to
agh
and
its
proximity
to
our
neighborhood.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
Sean
yeah.
You
can
submit
that
here
to
clerical,
make
copies
and
make
sure
everyone
gets
that
on
Council.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
coming
to
make
comment
next.
Speaker.
Please.
N
Good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
having
me
speak.
My
name
is
Dr
Daphne,
kurgis
and
I
am
the
agency
director
for
project
Destiny.
Our
main
office
sits
right
directly
in
the
Cal
Kirk
community,
on
behalf
of
our
founder
and
executive
director,
Reverend
Dr
Brenda
Gregg
I
am
a
conveying
the
support
of
our
organization
and
many
of
our
constituents
that
live
work
or
reside
within
the
north
side
of
Pittsburgh
related
to
the
agh
master
plan.
Our
mission
is
to
Reign
reach
out
to
the
community,
educate
our
youth,
Inspire.
N
Others
grow
leaders
and
nurture
our
youth
in
the
Pittsburgh
area.
Healthy
and
whole
individuals
play
a
pivotal
role
in
this
master
plan,
and
it
is
a
way.
This
master
plan
is
a
way
to
forecast
development
and
growth
of
a
certain
period
of
time,
and
it
will
assist
us
in
achieving
this
goal.
Many
communities,
particularly
those
that
have
vulnerable
populations,
do
not
have
Fortune
to
grow.
We
are
on
the
North
side
and
we
have
a
gift
with
a
hospital
that
is
stable
and
forecasting
growth
opportunities.
N
We
are
also
pleased
to
share
that
the
hospital
engages
with
the
community
to
address
things,
Beyond
health
care
and
looks
to
partner
with
organizations
like
ours
to
provide
resources
for
the
social
determinants
of
Health
needs
that
can
nurture
our
vulnerable
residents
while
they
are
affording
them
the
ability
to
voice
their
opinions
and
impact
their
their
ways
of
living
project.
Destiny
Inc
and
our
Thrive
18
initiative
have
served
the
needs
of
all
18
North
Side
neighborhoods
meeting
the
social
determinant
of
Health
needs
and
partnership
with
agh
and
closing.
N
M
M
M
This
hospital
has
a
heart:
it's
a
world-class
comprehensive
facility
that
includes
a
state-of-the-art
Cancer
Center
that
took
care
of
the
most
important
person
in
my
life
I'm
grateful
for
that.
It's
it
supports
more
than
3
000
jobs.
M
M
A
All
right:
well,
if
there
are
no
further
speakers
and
we
will
move
to
the
members
that'll
join
us
if
you'd
like
to
make
a
comment.
O
I
mean
I,
don't
per
se.
A
O
Will
I
will
say
that
I
I
do
not
live
on
the
North
side,
but
I
actually
Emma?
You
know
we
have
Highmark
insurance
so
that
I
can
travel
across
town
and
use
your.
O
So
that's
yeah,
yeah
I
would
be
curious,
just
on
average,
just
with
the
helica,
because
I
am
sympathetic,
I
mean
the
helicopter
issue
is
obviously
so
just
and
you
you
may
not
have
these
numbers,
but
on
average
how
often
do
helicopters
come
through
I.
I
D
O
Okay
and
then
I
guess
just
the
last
thing
and
you
know
I
I
I
would
be
remiss
to
not
mention
it
is,
of
course
you
know.
We've
been
hearing
a
lot
here
and
and
elsewhere
around
the
city
at
other
institutions
about
safe
Staffing
levels
and
the
need
to
attract
nurses
and
other
health
care
workers,
not
only
attract
them,
but
keep
them
there
and
having
you
know,
full-time
jobs
as
opposed
to
these
travel
jobs.
And,
of
course,
you
know,
there's
not
much
purpose
in
building
a
ton
of
new
buildings.
A
But
I
just
wanted
to
mention
make
a
comment
that
you
know
it's
a
very
important
topic.
You
know
how
I
feel
about
it.
O
A
A
P
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair,
I
am
representing
the
eighth
District
I
have
many
institutions
in
the
district
I
represent,
so
some
of
them
do
a
lot
of
old
job
of
public
Outreach
and
engagement
and
ongoing
engagement,
and
some
could
take
some
lessons.
It
sounds
like
from
agh
in
terms
of.
P
Conducting
engagement
and
not
just
conducting
engagement
in
the
way
I
said
it,
but
truly
building
relationships
with
the
community
and
assisting
communities
where
they
need
it
to
the
extent
that
they're
coming
out
from
their
communities
to
testify
on
behalf
of
an
imp
is
impressive,
so
perhaps
there
can
be
some
coming
together
and
Lessons
Learned
and
learning
there,
some
in
District
8,
but
should
say
that
some
are
some,
are
wonderful
and
and
do
a
great
job
as
well
as
for
specific
questions.
P
But
of
the
few
comments
that
we
did
receive
by
email.
Some
were
concerned
about
height
and
not
just
height,
but
I
know
that,
like
the
tower
height
is
quite
high,
but
it's
skinny.
So
do
you
have
a
sense
of
what
might
reach
that
height
and
be
you
know
a
larger
mass
of
a
building
beyond
that
and
how
that
might
affect
shadows
and
other
concerns
that
people
have.
We.
P
D
Point
in
time,
I
think
we're.
We
obviously
received
many
of
those
similar
contents
and
comments
around
the
impact
to
the
the
houses
specifically
right,
butting
up
against
these,
but
not
having
necessarily
full
build
out
programming
that
that
obviously
drives
you
know
size
and
scope
and
and
and
options
that
we
potentially
have
to
to
make
sure
that
we
address
those.
P
Great
okay
and
with
regard
to
parking
and
transportation
demand
management.
You
know,
I'll
say
this
everywhere:
I
have
the
opportunity
to
because
it's
certainly
a
pinch
point
in
Oakland
and
Shady
Side,
where
I
represent
as
well.
P
You
know,
certainly
working
with
Domi
on
on
TDM
plans
is,
is
great
and
you
know
the
city
has
its
own
TVM
coordinator.
At
this
point.
Wonderful,
it
seems
like
another
opportunity.
If
you
haven't
already
or
I'll
just
ask
the
question:
have
you
done
a
transportation
or
Transit
audit
within
your
employees
there?
Oh,
yes,.
D
P
Okay,
great
great
great
and
I
guess,
to
the
extent
that
there
is
a
conversation
with
PRT
with
regard
to
you
know,
say
an
employee,
a
set
of
employees
are
all
seem
to
be
coming
from
one
suburb,
but
can
there
be
a
flyer
or
you
know,
an
additional
bus
route
that
would
be
assured
to
be
used
and
utilized
rush
hour
each
way
you
know
that
seems
like
a
conversation
as
well.
Yeah.
D
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
just
to
highlight
is
out
of
the
TDM
audit
and
Survey
of
employees.
We've
put
in
a
a
role
of
a
TDM
coordinator
to
do
just
that
and
start
reaching
out
to
public
transportation
and
determining
different
paths
that
we
may
have
to
leverage
those
exact
things.
Great.
P
To
hear
okay
right
yeah,
it
seems
like
we're.
Parking
is
scarce.
Sometimes
it
should
be
reserved
for
the
in
my
mind,
the
patients
and
others
who
are
visiting
not
the
everyday
people
who
can
maybe
find
a
routine
they
can
get
into
on
Transit.
So,
okay,
well
great.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
your
efforts.
A
Any
accounts
person
any
other
comments.
I
will
thank
you
for
coming
today,
but
first
and
foremost,
I
want
to
thank
the
speakers
that
came
everyone
from
the
neighborhood
people
that
live
around.
This
proposed
development,
and
you
know
everyone
all
the
other
institutions
that
came
organizations,
people
that
represent
organizations
that
gave
their
comment.
A
You
know,
however,
wherever
they
lie.
You
know
in
regards
to
this.
This
type
of
this
type
of
build
out
really
I
mean
I
mean
and
that's
you
know
what
we're
hearing
is
the
concerns
of
residents,
primarily
residents,
that
live
around
the
property
because
I
mean
it's.
You
know
it's
obvious
to
me
that
the
the
public
benefit
that
you
provide,
but
I
don't
live
around.
You
know
directly.
Next
to
the
you
know,
hearing
what's
going
on,
and
rightly
so.
Many
people
moved
into
a
current
situation.
A
So
I
want
to
be
mindful
of
of
their
concerns
and
their
quality
of
life,
because
I
know
it's
just
not
going
to
end
here.
You
know.
Obviously
we
see
what
the
current.
A
You
know
I'm
continually
on
emails
of
why
the
helicopter
is
idling
at
a
certain
point
and
you
are
a
very
I
would
say:
you're
very
responsive
as
to
what's
happening
most
most
of
the
time
it's
weather
related
and
why
it
has
to
go.
But
I
do
have
a
good
history
of
of
of
the
situation.
Understanding
in
the
past,
where
you
worked
with
the
community
to
you,
know,
make
sure
that
the
flight
path
was,
you
know,
the
dedicated
flight
path
is
coming
down
a
certain
way.
A
I
mean
this
is
this
is
where
Life
Flight
started
the
concept
where
it
was.
You
know
crafted
so
you
know
it's
I
know
it's
always
difficult,
because
you
want
to
continue
to
do
the
good
work
and
so
I
see
you
know.
Obviously
the
cancer
center
was
built,
I
was
on
the
front
end,
and
so
that
was
less
impactful,
I
think,
and
so
this
is
well
obviously
more
impactful
there's
other
concerns,
and
rightly
so.
They
have
other
residents
of
other
reasons
to
to
bring
up.
A
You
know
situations
like
parking
and
and
use
of
the
grounds
and
the
next
location
of
build
outs
buildings,
the
helipad
all
that
so
I
want
to
be
mindful
of
that
and
looking
forward
to
this
conversation
going
forward
and
I
know
that
we
started
opening
up
some
of
the
questions.
So
I
will
work
with
members
to
see.
A
If
there's,
you
know
appetite
for
a
setting
where
we
can
get
more
questions
answered
and
I
plan
to
work
on
with
individuals
that
you
know
reached
out
and
made
comment
today,
especially
that
ones
that
are
not
in
favor.
So
I
can
get
understanding
of
what
they're
going
through
currently-
and
maybe
we
can,
you
know,
solve
some
of
this
or
put
some
of
those
concerns
as
much
at
ease
as
possible,
because
I
do
know
what
the
commitment
you've
given
to
the
to
the
community.
A
But
but
that
said
just
wanna
really
be
mindful
of
what
they're
going
through
and
what
they're
you
know.
What
they're
seeing
on
paper
here
and
what
they're
seeing
on
the
on
the
presentation
so
appreciate.
Your
time
appreciate
you
coming
here
and
I,
look
forward
to
the
continued
partnership
on
the
North
side,
and
thank
you
thank
you
to
city
planning
for
putting
this
together.
Thank
you
to
the
clerk.
A
I
also
want
to
thank
the
members
that
came
today
and
I
also
want
to
thank
the
council
president
for
allowing
me
to
preside
over
this
hearing,
since
it's,
ultimately,
you
know
up
to
them
to
to
designate
someone
so
always
appreciative
to
talk
about
and-
and
you
know,
handle
a
situation
like
this.
That's
that's
in
my
district
so
with
that,
if
there
are
no
other
comments
from
members.
