[Highland Park] Fund the Port Authority of Allegheny County
by Neepa Majumdar 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

This is a petition that HP neighbors might be interested in signing. Neepa Majumdar _______________________________________________________ >From the Port Authority of Allegheny County website: "2012 Proposed Service Reduction Information Port Authority is facing a $64 million deficit in its operating budget for the coming fiscal year, starting July 1. This deficit stems from a lack of dedicated funding for transportation at the state level." *"Left without adequate state funding, Port Authority will have no choice but to slash service, increase fares and lay off employees in order to balance its budget, which it is legally obligated to do."* Even though Governor Corbett has stated that he will release a funding plan in February, he has not committed to the funding necessary to maintain the level of service we have today. *Please sign this petition to let Governor Corbett and PA state legislators know that you believe the Port Authority of Allegheny County provides a critical service to our community.* More information: http://www.portauthority.org/paac/CompanyInfoProjects/BudgetFinances/Servic… Please consider signing a petition to The Pennsylvania State House, The Pennsylvania State Senate, and Governor Tom Corbett, which says: "Fund the Port Authority of Allegheny County so it is not forced to hike fares and cut service starting in July 2012."

[Highland Park] Come speak to Zone 5 Police about safety in your neighborhood
by Keebler, Emily 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

The Zone 5 Public Safety Council meets on the second Tuesday of every month to discuss public safety in Zone 5 (the District 7 neighborhoods of Bloomfield, East Liberty, Garfield, Highland Park, Morningside, and Stanton Heights are all served by Zone 5 police.) These meetings are a great opportunity to speak directly with Commander O'Connor about incidents in your neighborhood. Occasional special presentations supplement the discussion - previous presenters have included burglary detectives, gang/group intelligence, and the curfew center. Lt. Commander Dixon, who is in charge of the night shift, will fill in for Commander O'Connor this month while he is on vacation. The Public Safety Council would also like to take time at this meeting to hear your thoughts on what you would like to see in 2012 - special guests, themed meetings, etc. I look forward to seeing you there. Tuesday, February 14 7:00pm - 8:00pm Union Project 801 N. Negley Ave. - enter through doors on Stanton Highland Park *Emily Keebler **· Office of Patrick Dowd · Pittsburgh City Council District 7* *510 City-County Building · 414 Grant Street · Pittsburgh PA 15219 · 412 255 2140* *emily.keebler(a)pittsburghpa.gov <emily.keebler(a)city.pittsburgh.pa.us> · www.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/district7*

[Highland Park] Needed: small radio
by Holly 12 Feb '12

12 Feb '12

I have a little dog and she's barking when I leave her home alone. The trick - music! I'm currently leaving my living room TV on but I'd prefer to leave a small radio in the kitchen. Does anyone have an old portable radio, boom box, alarm clock/radio...? I could go buy something but I'm hoping someone has something they aren't using anymore.
