‘Sociable City’ Plan Rolled Out To Coordinate Pittsburgh’s Nightlife

Responsible hospitality. The night-time economy. A “sociable city” plan.
They’re buzzwords for a basic concept.
Nightlife, and the neighborhoods in which it happens, are resources that need to be planned and managed, from transportation and parking to permitting and policing. And that involves comprehensive coordination between community business owners, an array of city agencies and institutions like universities.
“Like our transit planning, like how we manage special events, these economies will benefit from planning and management,” said Maya Henry, the city’s new night-time economy manager, a $65,249-a-year position created by Mayor Bill Peduto to coordinate those efforts. “My job is to bring the lens of the night-time economy to all of those places that already exist in city planning.”

After weeks of closed-door discussions, the Twin Valley School Board approved a $53.35 million tentative budget Monday, closing a $1 million shortfall with a combination of staff cuts, tax hikes and even a new revenue stream for 2013-14.
The list of staff cuts, previously undisclosed, includes furloughing a business teacher; not replacing three teachers – one full-time and two part-time – who have submitted resignation letters; not renewing two temporary teachers; and reducing a full-time art teacher to part time. Also eliminated are 14 assistant middle and high school coaching positions and four assistant high school club advisers.
“We certainly would have liked to have done it a different way,” Dr. Robert F. Pleis, superintendent, said after the meeting. “We don’t want to lose personnel. That’s not our goal.”
