What: Wilkinsburg Borough Council Planning Session
When: Wednesday, April 6th @ 7:00 PM
Where: Wilkinsburg Borough Building, 605 Ross Avenue (Council Chambers on the 2nd floor)
Join friends, neighbors, and Friends of Green Street Park at the Borough Council meeting on April 6th to speak on behalf of the park. We are expecting the Wilkinsburg Borough Council to vote on the land division request by Akator Construction before May 6th, so participation at this meeting is critical.
YOUR VOICE can tell the Council that voting NO to the land division request is crucial to preserving Green Street Park. Remind the Borough Council as our elected officials that the park is protected under the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act and Donated and Dedicated Property Act, and that the sale and transfer of the property are in direct violation of PA state law. Tell the Borough Council that our park belongs to the people and, as a dedicated public green space, plays a critical role in helping stabilize our neighborhood and building a more livable Wilkinsburg community. The Borough Council members need to hear why Green Street Park is such a special place for us all.
Sign-up to speak at the planning session. Sign-ups to speak will be available at the beginning of the meeting (5 min. max).
You can use these suggested comments if you need a starting point for what to say at the meeting or as part of your correspondence with the Borough Council members. We encourage you to include your own voice, as well as any information which may be personally relevant.

Please make your voice heard.
