The Oakland Plan, touted by the City as a vision for a more livable, accessible and equitable neighborhood, is nearing the end of its journey toward adoption as official City policy.

Pittsburgh released a draft of the 10-year Oakland Plan and associated zoning proposals last Wednesday for public comment.

Mayor Ed Gainey held a virtual town hall to discuss the Oakland Crossings project on Wednesday. As part of his 30-day pause on the proposal, Gainey listened to comments from students and residents at the town hall.

Pittsburgh City Council amended and advanced Shadyside developer Walnut Capital’s Oakland Crossings plan last Wednesday, moving it to the City Planning Commission.
