Humphrey Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:40:09 +0000 http://pittsburghparks.wordpress.com/?p=503#comment-265 Thank you to everyone involved for all the hard word and perseverance to make this happen; the work undertaken is spectacular! I grew up in Point Breeze and spent many a day, evening and even late nights in Mellon Park. The entire area holds many special memories for myself, as well as for most of my childhood friends. I cannot wait to return from England to visit this wonderful oasis in the city I call home to share the excitement with my wife and children. Who knows, they might even grow to love it as much as I do! Sincerely, J. Humphrey Thank you to everyone involved for all the hard word and perseverance to make this happen; the work undertaken is spectacular!

It's always a challenge to launch something like this, where we are trying to balance the historical integrity of the parks with something that's useful to people, not too distracting in the context of the landscape, sustainable in harsh weather conditions, and not a huge financial burden. Response to the signs in Schenley Plaza has been positive, so we hope you'll be more pleased when you've seen them in context. We’re sorry to hear that you feel that way!

But to be honest these signs are hideous! They look dated, tired and cheap. Could we not create better designs? Was this the very best that could be achieved? Big fail.

I just read the article regarding the new signs for our parks! I am thrilled to read that Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy received Federal and Foundation money to make this project a reality. As a new resident of the City of Pittsburgh, I often wondered why we could have more worthy signage for our Parks and now I hear that we will. Thanks to everyone who worked to make this project a reality. The "sign family" is a handsome design addition to our parks. Keep up the great work! Ed Lewis Congratulations!
