[Highland Park] Green Boulevard Meeting Thursday, July 19th: the Highland Park connections
by David Hance 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

I'd like to follow up on the notice of this meeting that went out on the neighborhood last week to let everyone know more about how this planning process and how it may positively affect Highland Park. Click the link below to find out more about the overall Green Boulevard opportunities that will extend from Downtown out to Washington Boulevard. Basically, open space planning, river access, and transit improvements throughout the 5 miles of Allegheny Riverfront that make up the neighborhoods that share the river are all in discussion. For Highland Park, the affected areas are Heth's Run and Negley Run. You may be familar with the upcoming Heth's Run improvements that will transform the Zoo parking lot with new recreational space and trails to the riverfront. This will be part of of Thursday's discussions. New to the discussion will be a focus on Negley Run, with design options looking to reconnect this green valley to the riverfront, improve public access and use, and address the flooding hazard inherent to the current topography. All very important and exciting, and I hope to see you at Thursday's meeting. Dave Hance Highland Park Community Dev. Corp. You're invited to the following event!

We have lived in Highland Park for the last 28 years and have a cabin that's only 50 miles from Pittsburgh....which we rent out year-round, by the week, for a weekend knowing how important it is to get away for abit. We are starting to book for the fall months, but have some available dates in the summer too. Offering $100 discount on weekend rates if you book before August 31, 2012. Mountain Escape's extended A-frame design is spacious yet cozy. We love it because it is perfect for groups varying in size from 4-16. Pictures and description of the sleeping areas are on our website: laurelmountainescape.com. The property borders state forest so you can walk straight outside and enter the biking, hiking and cross country skiing trails. It's close to all major activities in the Laurel Highlands "white water rafting (Ohiopyle), fishing, golf -- or sightseeing at Fort Ligonier, Falling Water, Kentuck Knob, as well as amusement parks (Idlewild), antique shops and restaurants in Ligonier and Somerset and even lots more.
