[Highland Park] FW: OpenSpacePGH Public Meetings
by Keebler, Emily 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

Please see the email below and the attached flyer about the upcoming series of public meetings on the City's Open Space, Parks and Recreation Plan. The first meeting will be next Monday, April 25th. Emily Keebler * Office of Patrick Dowd * Pittsburgh City Council District 7 emily.keebler(a)city.pittsburgh.pa.us <mailto:emily.keebler@city.pittsburgh.pa.us> * 412-255-2140 <http://www.facebook.com/Pittsburgh.Council.District7#!/Pittsburgh.Counc il.District7> <https://twitter.com/Pghdistrict7> ________________________________ From: Dash, Andrew Subject: OpenSpacePGH Public Meetings As part of the public outreach and participation for the City's Open Space, Parks, and Recreation Plan (OpenSpacePGH), the City will be holding five public meetings in late April and early May. Attached is the flyer. These meetings will review what the Open Space, Parks, and Recreation Plan's purpose is, the progress to date, and then will have a breakout session in which the attendees will work together in smaller groups to assign money (based on the City's budget for these items) to their priorities for parks, recreation, and vacant lot remediation/re-use techniques. The prioritization done by residents in these meetings will be imperative to the success of this plan, as well as understanding regional differences in priorities for the City's open space, parks, and recreation system, so getting a good turnout to these meetings is very important. A link to the flyer is also available at http://planpgh.com/files/OpenSpacePGH_Meeting_4-25-11.pdf <http://planpgh.com/files/OpenSpacePGH_Meeting_4-25-11.pdf> . Thank you for your help in creating a plan for the City's open space, parks, and recreation system that is truly representative of the City and its residents!

[Highland Park] Funky yard art
by Isobel 18 Apr '11

Some eclectic items for your garden. The three sheet metal sculptures (fish bowl, vase, tea cup) were made by a former tenant of mine, Greg Karkowski, who is a local artist and is becoming quite well-known. Who knows- this stuff could be worth a great deal if he becomes really famous!!!! Stop over to take a look and make an offer!
