The May HPCC meeting is tonight at St. Andrew’s Church, Thursday, May 19th at 7:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend.
Our guest speaker will be Carl Cooper, Esq., a Diversity Consultant who lives in Highland Park and plans to share some of his insights with us.
Mr. Cooper will talk about the importance of diversity and inclusion in our neighborhood and how Highland Park’s demographics align with the City of Pittsburgh as a whole.
Public input is being collected to shape the concept design for Heth’s Run. The design, to be completed in fall 2016, will make specific recommendations to incorporate recreation space, green infrastructure, trail and neighborhood connectivity, and transportation needs in Heth’s Run.
Your input is vital to creating this concept design.
Join us on Sunday June 5 for our annual multi-family Highland Park Community Council Yard Sale and Bryant Street Festival!
Yard Sale
The festivities begin at 9 a.m., when over a hundred Highland Park homes will set up tables and offer items for sale to thousands of bargain hunters walking through the neighborhood. To make it easy for shoppers to find your yard sale, maps of the neighborhood with a listing of items are distributed to everyone.
We have 135 registered sellers this year! Registration for 2016 is now closed.
Bryant Street Festival
After a healthy morning of walking our tree-lined streets in search of your favorite yard sale find, we invite you to join us on Bryant Street, the heart of our business district, for live musical performances, delicious foods from our local businesses and neighbors, and artists selling their jewelry, ceramics, stationery and much more. There will be activities for kids including face painting, the Union Project spinning their clay wheel, and of course a moonwalk. Festivities kick off at noon!
This is an important meeting to attend for anyone in Highland Park or Morningside who lives near the upper Heth’s Run Park or who is interested in the Heth’s Run Ecological and Recreational Restoration Project.
