On Wednesday October 4, 2006 over 200 residents, business owners, developers and otherwise just concerned stakeholders met at Calvary Church to discuss the future of this thing we’re calling Bakery Row. Not to be confused with Bakery Square-Walnut Capital’s effort to convert the former Nabisco site into a massive retail, housing and office development- Bakery Row is an effort to bring about a stakeholder-based shared vision along Penn Avenue from East Liberty’s commercial core all the way to 5th Avenue. More recently, November 8, 2007 the second community meeting was held at Reizenstein School to discuss the final revisions of the plan.

These meetings were the first part of this effort. This Community Website is the 2nd part! This is for everyone who really wanted to say something at the meetings, but did not. It is for folks who need the quiet of their office or library to review materials and comment on them. It is for folks who could not make the meetings but wanted to.

Taking the comments and input from the November 8 meeting and this forum, final revisions will be made and the final vision document will be available for use on this website. Community groups will be able to use the documents to advocate for change, and inspired developers will be able to use the document to craft projects that they know will garner community support.

Here’s what to do…

Step 1
Download the Bakery Row Vision Plan and
Project Overview which contains several background documents on the site and contains all of the sketch-level design alternatives for each of the development zones in Bakery row.

Step 2
Download any or all of the following documents which represent the feedback from the community meeting on the following sections of Bakery Row. The corridors numbers correspond to the following map:

Corridor 1 - Shady Avenue to the Busway
Corridor 2: Penn Avenue from Penn Circle to East Liberty Boulevard
Corridor 3: Penn Avenue from East Liberty Blvd. to 5th Avenue
Corridor 4: Shadyside Residential Edges
Corridor 5: Edges of Mellon Park

Step 3
Post your comments below. They will be read by others participating in this blog and will help inform the designers and market analysts helping us with this effort. Anonymous or noxious comments will not be posted.

This effort is co-sponsored by East liberty Development, Inc. (ELDI) and Shadyside Action Coalition (SAC).
