Special gratitude and kudos to John Mayberry and his witnesses for their presentation and the exhibits! I only hope the City Council actually absorbed the many reasons why they can't vote to re-zone Park Place, and the clear refutation of the developers' every point.

I must say, that I am very proud of how well the community members spoke to the issues. I think it was obvious the tremendous time, thought and effort people put into their 3 minute presentations. I also want to reiterate my appreciation to all the organizations that provided support to the community through letters and by showing up to the hearing or contacting council members directly. I would like to draft an official thank you letter to each of them from our neighborhood organization if others agree. In addition to the significant help from the Regent Square Civic Association, we have also received support from the Friendship Development Corporation, Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundations, Nine Mile Run Watershed Association, SPUR Consulting, Young Preservationists Association of Pittsburgh, and the 14th Ward Democratic Committee. Other organizations have expressed interest in meeting with us to determine if they will also contact City Council on our behalf.
