Fwd: City Shares Plans for Sustainable Public Safety Campus that Will Provide Life-Saving Services and Cost-Savings
by Highland Park Community Council 29 Oct '21

29 Oct '21

This announcement includes the city's commitment to building an indoor firing range to replace the existing outdoor range. However, it should be noted that the creation of and move to this new facility is still many years away. In the meantime, the HPCC will continue to work with the Department of Public Safety on potential alternatives to or modifications of the existing firing range to reduce or eliminate noise impacts on the neighborhood. *Published:* 10.29.2021 *Contact:* Molly Onufer Communications Director Mayor's Office 412-579-8534 molly.onufer(a)pittsburghpa.gov City Shares Plans for Sustainable Public Safety Campus that Will Provide Life-Saving Services and Cost-Savings PITTSBURGH, PA (October 29, 2021) Mayor William Peduto joined Department of Public Safety and Department of Public Works officials today at the site of the former Veterans Administration campus in Lincoln-Lemington to discuss the future of the site. The campus will be redeveloped and transformed into a state-of-the-art regional public safety training site, centralized campus for Pittsburgh Public Safety operations and will include net zero energy efficiency and stormwater management components to address the dangerous flood-prone Washington Boule vard corridor. The property was acquired <https://pittsburghpa.gov/press-releases/press-releases/5034> after federal government agencies approved the use of the site by the City as a public safety campus earlier this year. By relocating training facilities to one campus, Pittsburgh’s award-winning public safety bureaus intend to develop training for police, fire, EMS and animal care and control departments throughout the region to improve service to the greater community. The project will save millions of taxpayer dollars currently spent on leases by relocating public safety operations and public works storage from around the city to the campus. The City plans to bring Emergency Medical Services headquarters from Shadyside, Police Headquarters from Chateau, Police Training Academy from Allegheny West and the vehicle repair shop from the Strip District. The plan also includes building an indoor firing range on the campus to move it from its current location in the Highland Park neighborhood. Locations that will be vacated that the City currently owns can be sold to be put back on the tax rolls and redeveloped to benefit neighborhoods. The project will also allow the City to implement green and sustainable stormwater solutions to alleviate dangerous flooding along Washington Blvd for the safety of all. By vacating public safety facilities located on the low-lying road, the City and PWSA can create a comprehensive solution to divert stormwater from the road. The site will feature additional green sustainable solutions as redevelopment will follow the net zero requirements for City facilities championed by the Peduto Administration in 2019. The renovated buildings will be energy efficient and will produce as much energy as they consume, providing additional cost savings to taxpayers. “This site provides us with a historic opportunity to offer the best in life-saving training to public safety personnel from around the region, advance sustainable green development, provide a solution to decades of intractable flood mitigation challenges, expand the city tax base and save taxpayers money,” said Mayor Peduto. “This project thinks big and provides big solutions for the betterment of our communities.” Long-term financing plans for the campus are listed in the City’s 2021 budget. <https://apps.pittsburghpa.gov/redtail/images/12734_Capital_budget_as_approv…> ------------------------------ .

Hi Neighbors, Quantum Theatre <https://bit.ly/3AcUOPt> presents Lucy Kirkwood’s Olivier Award-winning play *Chimerica *at the newly opened Maverick Hotel, former East Liberty YMCA, from November 27 to December 19. Directed by Quantum Theatre’s Founding Artistic Director *Karla Boos* and featuring Art Direction by *Susan Tsu*, the original 2020 cast and crew finally join for this examination of capitalism and culture, journalism and censorship, which takes a point of departure from the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing, 1989. *Chimerica* follows fictional photojournalist Joe Schofield, who photographed the iconic “Tank Man” in Tiananmen Square during the 1989 pro-democracy protests. Twenty-three years later, after learning that the famous dissident may still be alive and living in the United States, Joe resolves to locate him and tell his story, putting careers, relationships, and lives on the line in the process. Performances are Tuesday - Saturday at 8PM, and Sundays at 7PM. Please see the website <https://www.quantumtheatre.com/chimerica/>for more details on the play and how to purchase tickets. If you have any questions, please email quantum(a)quantumtheatre.com or call 412-362-1713. Thank you, and we hope to see you there!

I'm thinning out our siberian iris bed and have multiple clumps of roots with leaves that can be separated and replanted for beautiful deep blue Siberian irises in the Spring (photo us stock image and color is less purple and more blue in "real life". Given the rainy weather expected over the days ahead, please email if you're interested and we can arrange a time for you to come pick up from our garage so the dirt won't get washed off the root clumps.
