Strip club blemish
As a resident of Pittsburgh Council District Two, I am writing in opposition to the proposed strip club in the 1600 block of West Carson Street ("Residents Worried About Strip Club Plans Near Station Square," Oct. 28). Pittsburgh's neighborhoods are what make us truly someplace special. The proposed strip club would negatively impact the neighborhoods of West End, Mount Washington, Duquesne Heights and Esplen. This property could be better used for housing, bike trails, commercial development or other uses Pittsburghers can be proud of.
When I envision spinoff West End development from the casino, I picture community-driven development that recognizes and respects our neighborhoods. For years, the city of Pittsburgh has worked to beautify our riverfronts; the fact that the strip club would be located just a stone's throw from the river and directly across the Ohio from the casino and the Carnegie Science Center undermines efforts to make our riverfronts and neighborhoods safe and clean places for people to work, visit and call home.
I urge City Council and city planning to vote against this strip club proposal.
