“Any infrastructure that impedes access by emergency vehicles and destroys small businesses should never be a consideration. The Strip district changes have already changed some of the historic charm of the Strip as well as brought in competing corporate businesses creating an inequitable challenge to existing small businesses, (on top of many other challenges). These small businesses have a true uniqueness that underlies what makes Pittsburgh great and attracts tourism. There has been an outcry, but it appears that the leadership of the city is not listening to the people. This is not a sign of good leadership, and should this project go forward, the voters should let this be known on election day!”
