Call for Participation: The Oakland Plan

After years of collaboration, the Oakland Plan and associated zoning changes are official and have been accepted by Pittsburgh City Council. Pitt was one of the many organizations involved as the Department of City Planning facilitated the process with community, development, and infrastructure “action teams.”

The Oakland Plan, which can be found in an interactive online format at engage.pittsburghpa.gov/oakland, is an ambitious document with dozens of opportunities to invest in Oakland’s future. The Oakland Task Force will be a key part of implementating the Plan.

How can you participate? The next step is identifying key projects that can be funded and completed in five years or less as the highest priority for investment. Our neighbors— you!—are invited to join project teams responsible for making these projects a reality.

Contact our neighborhood planner, Christian Umbach (Christian.Umbach@pittsburghpa.gov), or your Oakland Task Force representative for more information.
