Choice Neighborhoods is a planning process that will guide the future of Allegheny Dwellings and its connection to the neighborhoods around it including California-Kirkbride, Charles Street, Fineview and Perry Hilltop. The Housing Task Force will guide recommendations related to the redevelopment of Allegheny Dwellings resident’s homes.
During the meeting, we will review the Parcel Analysis and Site Plan drafts provided by WRT Design. Residents and stakeholders will have an opportunity to ask questions, share feedback, and make recommendations.

The Parcel Analysis reviews ownership of lots in areas of interest for development. Lots may be owned privately, by the city, or by the URA. Lots may be vacant or occupied.

The Site Plan indicates whether a lot is recommended for development by WRT. Lots that do show potential development currently include townhomes.

Rally to Open Sue Murray Pool
2022-06-17 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Sue Murray Pool, 301 Cedar Avenue, Pittsburgh, 15212, United States
Sue Murray Pool is delayed from opening, with Jack Stack and Riverview being the only pools open in the Northside.

The problem
The City of Pittsburgh is planning to open two pools in the Northside that serve a higher proportion of middle class and wealthy white residents, while leaving a pool that serves lower and middle income black families closed.
Concerns about violence and drug use in the neighborhood surrounding the pool and a shortage of lifeguards were listed as reasons for the delay.

our solutions
Join the Rally: Charles Street Valley residents are gathering with members of other Northside communities to peacefully demonstrate and raise our voices. We believe that opening the pool with safety measures in place will keep our community safe by positively engaging youth.
Sign the Petition: Click here to sign the petition to open Sue Murray Pool — be sure to share when you’re done!
