Pittsburgh City Council

Also at this week’s meetings.

Written by Amy Whipple

  • Both the general and standing committees meetings took place on September 3.
  • Thirty-nine people spoke in support of the Oakland DIY Skatepark and one in opposition at the morning general meeting.
  • Council approved the renaming of Boundary Street Park to Oakland DIY Skatepark in June.
  • No additional legislation is currently on the council’s upcoming agenda. One Panther Hollow Resident, however, has spoken to council about his hatred of the skatepark seven times this summer.
  • Twenty-six people spoke in opposition of—and two from a neutral position on—the proposed public safety training campus at the afternoon standing committees meeting.
  • The bill is being held for another two weeks.
