A
We
are
here
today
to
unveil
our
30
step
action
plan
to
make
our
region
a
place
where
all
generations
thrive:
Age,
Friendly,
Greater
Pittsburgh,
an
initiative
of
southwestern
Pennsylvania
partnership
for
aging
or
Swiffer.
It
builds
on
years
of
progress
by
organizations
in
the
field
of
Aging
and
outside
of
it
in
just
a
little
secret.
We
like
to
think
that
everybody
works
in
Aging
since
we're
all
growing
older
from
the
moment
were
born
before
we
get
started.
We
want
to
extend
a
special
thanks
to
hillmanfamily
foundations.
A
B
Thank
You,
Laura
and
I
really
want
to
congratulate
all
85
organizations
who
came
together
to
put
this
study
together.
These
findings
together.
It's
it's
a
really
important
work
that
that's
done
here
in
this
region,
and
one
of
the
great
things
I
think
we
do
well
in
this
region
is
come
together
and
collaborate
in
different
people
bringing
their
points
of
view
and
bringing
what
they
have
to
offer
to
improve
the
situation.
B
It's
really
important
that
we
make
sure
that
we
provide
the
kind
of
quality
of
life
issues
that
make
this
an
attractive
place
for
people
of
the
aging
population,
of
which
large
said
we
all
are
right
and
row
in
that
in
that
cohort,
it's
really
an
important
part
of
where
we
are.
We
still
in
Allegheny
County
in
this
region,
have
a
higher
population.
Over
16
percent
of
our
population
is
over
65
versus
the
13
percent
nationally.
B
C
Excepted
plan
marks
an
ambitious
step
in
ensuring
that
the
Pittsburgh
region
can
best
serve
and
support
all
of
our
neighbors.
It
is
expected
that
the
number
of
residents
aged
65
and
older
in
our
region
will
increase
more
than
40
percent
over
the
next
two
decades.
We
know
that
people
are
most
likely
to
experience
healthy
aging
when
communities
are
safe,
connected
and
accessible.
As
such,
we
want
to
ensure
that
as
we
grow,
our
neighborhoods
are
built
to
be
inclusive
and
respectful
of
all
ages.
C
Long
time,
residents
and
brand
new
ones
benefit
when
a
community
is
designed
for
everyone
to
thrive.
Opportunities
like
these
are
especially
beneficial
for
our
younger
residents.
I
grew
up
in
a
loving
joyful,
very
colorful,
polish
three-generation
household
and
emphatically
believe
that
we
have
so
much
to
learn
from
our
older
generation
of
Pittsburghers.
C
This
also
means
that
our
region
has
a
growing
resource
and
that's
incredibly
exciting.
Of
course,
we
especially
loved
action
25
up
in
our
office
action
item,
25,
intergenerational
tech,
training,
age-friendly,
Greater,
Pittsburgh
and
their
partners
want
to
increase
access
to
technology
by
connecting
older
residents
with
in-person
one-on-one
learning
experiences.
C
We
cannot
overstate
the
importance
of
this
work
and
our
enthusiasm
enthusiasm
to
support
the
age-friendly
Greater
Pittsburgh
initiatives.
Thank
you
to
the
more
than
100
organizations
and
800
voices
who
collaborated
to
create
and
launch
this
plan.
You
remind
us
that
we
truly
have
the
best
neighbors.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
I'm
next
hi
I'm
Doug
gross
I'm,
the
city
council
representative
for
district
7
district
7
here
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
starts
in
the
Strip
District
and
goes
upriver
about
five
miles
to
include
all
of
Lawrenceville
Morningside
Staunton
Heights,
a
Highland
Park
Bloomfield
Friendship
foolish
Hill.
You
probably
know
them
as
the
neighborhoods
that
you
know
everybody's
talking
about
right.
So
Lawrenceville
has
increased
population
dramatically.
If
you
drive
up
and
down
through
the
Strip,
District
you'll
see
all
the
new
apartment
buildings
all
the
new
office
buildings.
D
It's
curious
that
people
often
assume
not
wrongly,
that
we've
got
a
lot
of
young
people
moving
to
district
seven.
But
what
people
really
often
don't
realize
is
that
I
have
a
significant
number
of
empty
nesters,
also
moving
to
district
seven,
so
I
have
it
almost
every
week,
hi
we're
so
excited.
We
just
sold
our
house
wherever
and
moved
to
the
Strip
District,
hey,
we're
so
excited
we
just
retired,
and
now
we
have
this
house
in
Lawrenceville.
Ok,
we're
so
excited
we're
rehabbing
this
house
in
Highland,
Park
or
Bloomfield
and
I.
D
Think
that's
because
we
do
neighborhoods
there
and
when
you
have
the
kind
of
growth
that
we've
had
in
some
of
our
neighborhoods.
One
of
the
risks
is
that
you
end
up
with
just
strangers
right.
A
sea
of
strangers
is
not
a
neighborhood.
So
why
I'm
so
excited
about
this
Age
Friendly
Action
Plan?
Is
it
really
is
about
building
livability?
It's
about
building
neighborhoods,
it's
about
building
neighbors
right!
D
You
have
to
be
neighbors
with
each
other
in
order
to
have
a
great
neighborhood,
and
that's
one
of
the
things
I'm
so
proud
about
our
our
neighborhoods
that
we
have
made
the
time
and
made
the
effort
to
invest
in
each
other
in
this
action
plan
by
age,
friendly
and
all
of
these
partners
here
gives
you
the
action
steps
to
making
that
happen,
and
that's
incredibly
exciting.
So
I
was
so
pleasantly
surprised
to
see
it
the
other
day
and
I
just
have
to
touch
on
a
couple
of
points.
D
I've
already
participated
in
one
of
the
crossings
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
participating
in
the
next
one.
I
get
so
many
requests
in
my
district
from
young
people,
from
middle-aged
people
and
from
older
people
about
traffic,
calming
walkability,
changing
crosswalks,
adding
stop
signs,
adding
bump
outs,
expanding
sidewalks
and
improving
the
general
mobility
issues,
multimodal
issues
throughout
the
district,
and
that's
because,
as
these
neighborhoods
change,
and
especially
as
they
are
neighborhoods
that
have
people,
young
people,
middle-aged
people
and
elderly
people,
they're
not
all
just
coming
downtown
right
and
said
the
routes
have
changed.
D
D
Proudly,
this
was
launched
in
Lawrenceville.
They
have
a
senior
program
called
senior
advantage,
especially
for
this
reason,
when
you
have
newcomers
into
a
neighborhood,
you
need
to
make
sure
that
people
feel
included.
You
have
to
have
some
way
of
reaching
out,
but
you
also
had
the
pressure
there
of
making
the
third-generation
family
or
the
senior
resident
not
feel
pushed
out
by
the
newcomers
most
of
our
neighborhoods
in
the
region.
D
Don't
need
to
worry
so
much
about
that,
but
when
you
have
an
incredible
influx
of
new
residents,
and/or
younger
residents,
you
got
to
build
this
bridges
somehow,
and
so,
with
their
CD
Advantage
program.
They
hosted
an
evening
that
was
kind
of
bring
your
handheld
device
and
will
help
you
figure
out
how
to
use
it,
and
it
was
staffed
by
many
of
the
younger
tech-savvy
residents
in
the
neighborhood,
and
it
was
a
just
floodgate.
They
opened
the
doors
and
people
flooded
in
how
do
I
FaceTime
my
grandkids?
What
does
that
mean?
D
D
It
was
phenomenally
fun
both
for
the
volunteers
and
for
the
people
who
were
bringing
in
their
devices,
so
I
think
that's
one
of
the
ideas
that
I've
been
sharing
across
all
the
neighborhoods
in
my
district
did
I
hope
people
pick
up
on
the
idea
of
gardening
together,
I
think
every
single
one
of
my
neighborhoods
has
a
community
garden,
except
for
maybe
the
Strip
District
we'll
have
to
work
on
that
I'm.
Getting
the
idea
of
people
having
multi-generational
recreation
centers.
D
It
has
been
a
long
time
in
the
city,
since
we
had
youth
recreation
centers
and
we
have
many
senior
centers,
but
I
have
grandparents,
who
are
the
full-time
daycare
providers
for
their
kids,
their
grandkids
and
they
would
say,
I
would
love
to
come
and
see
my
friends
at
a
recreation
center.
What
would
all
I
do
with
the
kids?
Maybe
it's
time
that
we
make
accommodations
for
people
that
are
neighborhood
centers,
where
you
can
have
both
kids
and
grandparents
at
the
same
time
it
wouldn't
that
be
beautiful
for
both
generations.
Thank
you.
D
So,
in
the
end,
I
really
encourage
everybody
to
take
a
look
at
the
plan.
I'm
going
to
encourage
my
residents
to
take
a
look
at
the
plan.
I
get
all
my,
but
my
my
residents
in
district
7
are
incredibly
active
builders
of
their
neighbors
and
neighborhoods,
and
these
are
action
items
that
they
can
do
and
I
encourage
everyone
to
take
a
look
at
this
plan
and
figure
out
which
of
the
action
items
you
can
do.
So.
Thank
you
for
everybody
for
pulling
it
together.
E
Good
morning
my
name
is
Linda
Dolman
and
I
am
president
of
the
board
of
the
southwestern
Pennsylvania
partnership
for
aging
affectionately,
known
as
slipper
we're
a
27
year
old,
volunteer,
lead
organization.
We
have
more
than
300
members
representing
over
1
million
adults
across
10
counties
in
southwestern
Pennsylvania.
We
want
to
make
our
region
a
better
place
to
grow
up
and
grow
old.
E
The
plan
is
culmination
of
two
years
of
community
participation
and
planning
made
possible
through
the
generous
support
from
the
Mary
Hillman's
Jennings
foundation.
Our
approach
has
been
bottom-up,
coming
together,
listening
to
neighbors,
crafting
ideas
and
then
coming
together
and
listening
to
neighbors
again.
This
action
plan
now
accepted
by
the
World,
Health,
Organization
and
AARP,
represents
collaboration
with
more
than
100
organization
and
800
residences,
as
has
been
mentioned
by
other
speakers.
But
how
did
we
do
that?
We
convened
local
leaders
for
age,
friendly
champion
meetings
and
workgroup
sessions.
E
We
mobilize
neighbors
through
seven
aging
yourway
workshops
in
one
summit,
led
by
our
partner,
lively
Pittsburgh.
We
collected
data
through
a
our
p's
livability
for
all
in
Pittsburgh
and
Allegheny
County
telephone
survey,
and
we
evaluated
our
progress
with
the
health
of
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
Graduate
School
of
Public
Health,
and
then
we
gathered
feedback
on
our
action
plan
through
a
web-based
survey
and
for
public
input
sessions.
I
encourage
you
to
take
a
look
at
the
list
of
partners
in
the
back
of
our
action
plan.
E
You'll
see
organizations
that
are
near
traditional
service
providers
in
the
aging
network,
but
you'll
also
see
some.
That
might
surprise
you,
like
bike
Pittsburgh,
the
Pittsburgh
Symphony
Orchestra,
behinds,
History
Center,
just
to
name
a
few.
More
and
more
people
recognize
that
our
demographics
are
shifting
building
Age
Friendly
Greater
Pittsburgh
makes
sense.
Age
Friendly
Greater
Pittsburgh
really
started
off
when
we
started
listening
and
in
that
spirit
will
now
hear
from
two
community
members
bill
McDowell
representing
lively,
Pittsburgh
and
Linda
whorfin
representing
AARP
Pennsylvania.
Thank
you
very
much.
F
F
F
You
know
when
there
are
steps
or
a
broken
elevator,
or
you
know,
goodness
sakes
even
on
an
accessible
restroom
I
have
to
rely
on
other
people
or
I
would
choose
not
to
go
because
of
the
inaccessibility
and
I
want
to
tell
you
it's
not
right
for
me
to
have
them
to
choose
not
to
go
somewhere
because
of
unique
sex.
Folding.
F
F
F
G
Good
morning
my
name
is
Linda.
Wertham
I
am
67
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
AARP
Pennsylvania,
which
represents
1.8
million
members
across
the
Commonwealth
and
the
50-plus
community
at
large
AARP
pensive.
That
Pennsylvania
is
a
huge
supporter
of
the
Age
Friendly
movement
in
Allegheny,
County
and
Pittsburgh,
because
we
know
that
living
in
a
community
that
supports
all
ages
all
stages
of
life
and
all
activities,
that's
what
a
community
that
people
can
enjoy
can
explore
and
can
thrive
in
I'll
share
personal
experience
with
you.
G
Early
this
month,
I
joined
AARP
Pennsylvania
and
a
fall
bike
ride
with
Executive
Council
rich
Fitzgerald.
We
rode
the
Eliza
furnace
trail
over
to
the
hot
streak,
hot
metal
street
bridge
to
the
south
side
works
and
back.
It
had
been
over
40
years
since
I've
been
on
a
bike.
However,
during
the
summer
I
volunteered
during
the
open,
Street
events,
I
saw
a
lot
of
older
adults
on
bikes,
so
I
wanted
to
try
and
I
knew.
That
would
be
fun
with
AARP
Pennsylvania.
G
For
someone
who
hasn't
been
on
a
bike
for
44
decades,
it
was
quite
a
workout,
but
I
absolutely
enjoyed
it
to
me.
That's
what
age
friendly
movement
is
about
being
able
to
enjoy
life
right
here
in
my
community
and
for
many
older
adults
that
desire
to
enjoy
life
doesn't
diminish
as
we
age
or
retire
or
face
obstacles.
G
We
are
still
active
and
vibrant
part
of
our
community
I
line
dance
every
week
at
vintage,
Senior,
Center,
I,
know
sign
language
and
I
sign
regularly
at
my
church,
I
also
have
been
a
floor
manager
at
several
of
the
local
theaters
for
the
past
two
years.
I
am
an
active
member
of
this
community
and
so
that
the
50-plus,
who
want
to
work,
play
an
age
in
our
neighborhoods.
That's
why
it
is
important
to
ensure
the
Greater
Pittsburgh
area
is
age
friendly
so
that
our
streets
are
safer.
G
Our
homes
and
facilities
are
easy
to
access
as
we
get
older
and
that
we
have
opportunity
to
connect
socially
and
give
back
to
our
community.
An
age-friendly
Community
is
a
friendly
community
and
I.
Don't
know
about
you,
but
that's
a
community
I
want
to
be
a
part
of,
and
so
does.
Aarp
Pennsylvania
I
speak
for
all
of
us
at
a.p
Pennsylvania.
When
I
say
we
are
excited
and
proud
of
the
work
that
is
being
done
in
Allegheny,
County
and
Pittsburgh.
A
So
when
I
tell
my
family
and
friends
about
this
action
plan
of
ours,
two
questions
inevitably
come
up.
First,
so
what's
the
plan
in
three
words,
its
access
connection
and
innovation,
our
30
action
items
are
grouped
into
these
three
focus
areas
so
for
access
we
envision
a
region,
that's
open
to
all
of
us
just
like
bill,
said
it's
easy
to
get
around.
It's
easy
to
find
and
afford
different
options,
whether
we're
looking
for
a
new
home
or
right
across
town
for
connection.
We
envision
a
region
that
supports
one
another.
A
It's
understood
that
we're
better
when
we
go
out
of
our
age
silos
and
come
together
as
Linda
said,
to
enjoy
life
for
innovation.
We
envision
a
region,
that's
relentlessly
pushing
for
progress,
but
it's
understood
that
we
can
all
benefit
from
advancements
in
technology
and
design
it's
committed
to
in
advancing
new
ideas
to
help
residents
age,
how
and
where
they
choose.
A
A
Consider
it
an
open
source
document,
take
the
statistics
and
the
language
that
we
carefully
synthesized
here
and
incorporate
it
into
what
you
do.
You
can
always
cite
us
if
you
want
to
if
you
are
aging
and
news
flash,
we
all
are
aging
see
which
of
the
30
action
items
resonate
with
you
and
choose
a
project
to
join,
there's
something
for
everyone
and
over
at
the
table.
Here
we
have
printed
action
plans
as
well
as
a
sign-up
sheet
to
stay
connected
and
number
three,
and
this
is
really
exciting.
A
You
can
join
us
tomorrow
for
action
item
number
one
in
action,
which
is
the
crossings
and
Bill
and
I
will
be
there
as
well
as
Councilwoman
grouse
and
several
of
you
and
the
audience
today,
including
Jason
from
lively
Pittsburgh.
So
the
crossings
is
a
pop-up
street
performance
that
builds
visibility,
around
crosswalk
safety
for
all
ages
and
abilities.
