Thanks, Dan, for working on my Rockwood Park idea.

I got a voice mail yesterday from Dan Miller concerning my idea of developing the upper parking lot of Rockwood Park.  As I had written in an earlier post, I emailed the Commission, and as always, Dan Miller followed up, even though he is not from Ward 3.  The neighborhood has adopted Dan as our adopted commissioner these last four years, since he always responds to our needs.  That is why we all "heart" Dan Miller.
Dan went to Keith McGill, the Municipal Planner, who did the research.  Thanks, Keith!  Keith found that the property came to Mt. Lebanon in April and May 1972 from the Hofer estate.  It was taken to construct a public park FOREVER due to the severe parking problem in the immediate area.  Unfortunately, that house is long gone and now, a house is being built with a two car garage.  Dan agreed that it would have been perfect for at least three lots, but Mt. Lebanon cannot do anything else with the land.  The neighborhood is disappointed since the parking lot is just an invitation for illegal activity.
Dan, thank you for your response, as always.  I hope to pick up where you leave off in Ward 3.  You have spoiled us.
