Introduction
On Novembe r 10, 1969, the Mode l Cities Program first became aware
of p l ans of the Southern Railroad t o expand their exi sting storage
yard in the Pittsburgh-Mechanicsville Area.
This move affects only
the Pittsbu rgh community where acqui s i t ion o f 15.2 acres of land
is presently in progress; Southern is currently at tempt ing to
negotiate t h e acquisition of 2.8 acres of Pittman Park bel onging
to the City of Atlanta and part of the 15 . 2 acre site.
Their
reuse proposal calls for retention of 11.5 acres to be used for
expansion of their exist ing yard facilities, while the remaining
3 .7 acres would be returned to the city for park use.
The rail-
road proposes to finance the cost of ' constructing the new park,
including the replacement of a gymnasium, swimming pool, and
tennis courts, all of which would be included in the initial 2.8
acre park acquisition.

November 5
Southern's land ag ents met with the Atlanta
Housing Autho rity to de -e rmine the type of
relocation assi s tance a va ilable to occupants
of homes wi thin the acqui s ition area .
Because of the unique nature of this r e que s ta railroad acqu iring property under the
power of eminent domain in a n urban renewal
area with in t h e Model Cities Program-the
Authority asked the regiona l offic e of the
Renewa l Ass i stance.Admini strat i on (RRA )
for an opinion.
RRA tentatively determined
that .!2Q. financial assistance was available
under existing regulations and contacted
their home office in Washington, D. C. for

At this time the Depart-

sentatives to attend .
November 10
Mode l Cities became aware of Southern ' s
plans for the entire yard exp ansion at a
meeting in the offic es of the Parks Departmen t.
(See memo of November 11, 1969 -
Exhibit No. 1).
In addition to the
· nformation in the Nov<~mber 11 memo,
Southern 1 s agents expressed a strong desire
to acquir e all the property in the shortest
t ime pos s ible and also sugges t ed that
Alderman Leftwich, Cha irman of the Parks
Committ ee, gave te ntative approval to swap
pa rk l and fo r railroad land.
In a ddition,
they u r ged a ll in attendance t o k eep t h eir
plan as secret or qu i et as poss i ble.
The
reason for this insistance was, according
to them, to prevent the apprec i ation of
l and values within their acq u isition ar ea .
Nove111ber 1 7
Legal agents of Southern Railroad, J. D.
Jones and
c.
R. McQueen met with J.C.
Johnson, J im Wright, and Lou Orosz, of the
Model Cities Program in their offices.
The
meeting was arranged by Stan Martin of the
Parks Department.
This represented the
first direct attempt of Southern to involve
the Model Cities Program in its plans.
D£scussion initially centered about the
�- 6-
Pittrnan Park sit uat ion but expanded to
t he r e loc a tion and invo l vement of Pit tsb u rgh resi de n ts .
Mr. J·o n es reiterat e d
the Railroad ' s p o sit i on as expresse d on e
week ear l ier on Novembe r 10; the a cqui s ition
of l a nd, includin g a po rtion of Pitt man Park ,
mus t be comp le t ed as soon as p o ss ibl e ; t h e

that any att empts to i nvc}.u e residents and
other public a gencieswas urdesira.b l e b e cause
it wo u l d slow down the acquis i t ion p roc e s s .
The Rai l r o ad c l early wanted t h e property
acquired and faciliti es construct ed without
d J.ay.
Mode l Cities ma int ained an opposi t e position:
resident invo lvement in all phases of commun i ty development js the c ore of the Mode l
Cities Program and must be maintained.
The
form u lation of p l ans affecting residents of
the Model Cities Area , without the ir involvement , is contrary to guidelines set up by
the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
(HUD). Suggestions we re also made that
,\1ould get the Railroad involved in formula-
ting and financing a portion of the cost of
�-7-
relocating people from the propos e d acquis ition area into new housing within the Model
Cit i es Area.
I t was additionally recommended
that this would be an excellent opportunity
for Southern to become involved in the develop ment of the Pittsburgh com.,.'llunity by devising
ways t h nt would assist in impeding the further
det erioration of res idential structures in the
i1runediate vicinity of the railroad.
(Since
the railroad is responsible for this deteri-
oration b y creating- an undesirable residential
neighbo r hood to live i n, they should bea r the
respons ibj. lity, rather than the public at
l arge , for prev enting this deter iorat ion.)
Mr. Jones said he would conv ey this portion
to official s of the rai l road.

Mr. J.C . Johnson presented Southern ' s plan

minutes - Exhibit No. 2).
(S ee
The Board denounce d
the plans and attitude of the railroad,
particu larly the secretive manner by which
it planned and execu ·ed its prograrn, and
additionally, their total disregard for involving residents and the Program staff.
Finally the Board passed a resolution urging
the Model Cities Executive Board to request
the Southern Railroad to cease buying
�-8properties tmtil. thei·. actual intentions
are known .
November 18
Model Cities Executive Board met and
listened to a presentation o f Southern ' s
plan by Jim Wright.
Exhibit No. 3).
(See newspape r article -
They resolved to ask
Sout hern to delay its program until the
full impact of their plan on Pittsburgh and
the Mode l Cities Program Plan was known.

A tentative legal o p inion regarding the
utilization of eminent dorna.in in making the
Pittman
J.
ark a cquisit i on was rece ived b y
c. Johnson from the At lanta Department
o f Law .
(S ee l e tter of No!Jerober 17, 1969 -
Exhibit No. 4) .
The opinion said in effect,
-hat the City's ownership and u se of Pit t-
ma.n Park was a superior governmental use
which could not be acquired by the rail road
through its eminent domain power.
Issues
1.
Resident Involvement.
Lack of any attempt to solicit the involve-
ment of residents i n the planning phase of th.is development.
This
represents a flagrant violation of the requirements and intentions
of the Model Cities Program as e:apressed by congress, the Department
of Housing and Urban Development, and the City of Atlanta.
If this
is allo-wed to continue it will result in destruction of th~ trust
residents now have for the program as a means for improving
�-9the ir own n 8 ighborhood s.
The re can be n.o . e x ceptions f o r e x -
cluding resident involvement.
2.
Acqui s ition of a Portion of Pi ttman Pa rk .
The Model Citie s
Plan identifies the Pa ~ t a s presently b e i ng below sta ndards
s e t up b y the .P rogram and by the City o f Atlant a in it s
Parks and Re cre ation Plan.
This deficiency is in t e rms of
acre s , and in f a cilities by which people can e n j oy t h e p a rk
such a s b a s eb a ll diamonds , rec reation c e nt er, e t c .
'11 he
Pl an
~l s o anticipat e d acquiring the entire Fo y Brick Company i n
later stages o f t he Program; i-he u s e, o f course , wo uld have
b een a p ark additi n.
The reason f o r not p r opo s ing the
acqu i s i t ion of a djacen t
resident i a l p r operty f o r even tua l
p ark u s e was bec a u s e the P itt s bu rgh c ommuni ty , i n s ~vera l
meet i ngs , was again s t
s uch a move.
The re l at i ve l y good
struct u ral conditions of these homes and the preservation
of soc i a l ties between neighbo rs was more importr.tnt to tha se
people.
Th e railroad, on the o the r hand , h as not considered these
facts.
After acquisition, which i ncludes 30 dwel l ing units
to be removed expressly for park expansion and the Foy
Brick Company, park acreage will increas e about one acre.
This i s one more acre than the park now c<..-ir1tains, meaning
that it will continue to be s ubstandard.
But more important,
it means that a ny plan to bring it up to standards by increas ing
its 21.c.r:eage i:n the future will mean that additional homes will
have to be acquired.
�-10-
Consequently, the Railroad has everything to gain and the
Pittsburgh community has everyth i ng to los e-- its people,
its homes , a nd the anticipation of enj oying a larger park
in t h e future.
3.
Disreqard for the Future Development o f Pittsburgh .
The
Southern Railroad has compl ete ly disreg a rde d existing plans
for Pittsburgh.
This include s the City's 198 3 Land Us e
Plan , the City ' s Parks ad Recreation Plan, and Model Cities
Program Plan:- for the area.
·rhe se p lans represent a s ub-
stantial number of hours on the part of the agencies involved
and the residents affected.
The c ost of pre paring these
docume nts which refl.,.ct s , in thi s case , the desires and
aspirations of Model Citi e s resident s is not a light
con sid e r at ' on.
It cannot be disregarded.
The Railroad claims it s acquisit ion of heroes to provide itself
with more ya r d facilities is jus tified for two reasons.
Firs t,
that the space is needed to accommodate the output of General
Motors; the ~ntention is t h at more business (i f this is
actually t h e case) will bene fit the city a s a whole in t h e
long run.
Thi s kind of think 'ng-egotistica l, one-sided,
narrow minded , and with the dollar i n mind as the ul timate
ob j ect ive -is respon sibl e for destroying central city neighborhoods throughout
he country«
rt
is one of the reasons
why Congress has found the need for a M.oc1eJ Cities Program.
And natura,J.ly it is completely opposite t he short run,
coordinated, and comprehensive approach of this Program
�-LL -
towards improving the life of people livin9 in the area and
part icipating in t he Prog rarn.
I think that this reason ing is i nvaldd within the boundaries
of thi s Program.
The short nm time period is unquestionably
mor e critica l to Pitt sbu r gh residents than it i s to the
ques tionable long run needs of the City , t he Southe rn Rail r oad,
and General Motors-in this in stance.
On the ~econd reason , Southern believes it is doing a servic e
to t h e City b y removing substandard structures in the path of
i ts proposed yard facilitie s .
If the structures are s ub -
stand ard to the degree Southe r n claims ,
(and this is que s t ionable} ,
then it is because of their nearness to the railroad.
to live near a railroad yard?
Who wants
The people who can afford to
live on this resident.' al ly margina.l land h ave extreme diff iculty
in maintaining their homes because o f their low income and the
high cost of materials and labor u sed in home repairs.
(Because
the homes are marginal doesn't mean the people are marginal
or undesirable).
It can be predicted with reasonable certainty that once the
yar.d is constructed as presently planned , the adjacent buildings
will deteriorate over the years.
In a similar manner to the
pres e nt situation, Southern is laying the groundvo rk for another
claim when the need for additional yard facilities arises, that
they are doing a service to the City by removing them.

Res ident Relocation.
'l'he Mod e l Ci t i e s Pr.ogr aJTI h a s cont i nually

'I'his me thod
rep r esents t h e fou ndat ion of the Mode l ~i t i es Relocation Plan
and without it the r e wil l be no pub lic relocation of fami li es
to provide lund for any faci l ity .
Furthermore , fi nan c ial assistance from the Mode l Cities Program
and the Neighbor:hooq. Development Pr ogram (NDP) wil l make t h e
d ' fficulties of moving easier for all peo ple wh o must be re located.
This includes tenants and h omeowners.
The former receive moving
expenses and t h e l atter rece i ve moving expen ses and up to $5,0 00
in diff erential pa.yments: t h ey are paid the d ifference in co st
($5,000 maximum ) from the price received for \..he i r acquired
property and the cost of buying a similar sized home~
Th e approximately 100 families to be relocated by Southern's
acquisitior will receive none of this assistance.
The use
of eminent domain, or the threat of it, will not benefit t he se
relocatees.
They will not be eligible for t emporary housing
because none is available at this time.
And they will not
receive moving expenses and differential payments since they
are not pa.rt of the NDP or part of an acquisition by a public
�-1 3-
agency work i ng wi th the
Mode l Cities Program .
Again , the people do not benef i.t a nd actua.l.ly b e come the recipients
o f inequitable t r eatme nt as a r esult o f Southern 's non -part i c ipatio n in the Model Cities Program.

Can
Southern Railroa d-a p ublic uti li ty- exerc ise i ts delegated power

'rhe qu e stion i s importa nt b ecau se i ts answer may determine
t h e s uccess or fai l u r e of Southern ' s venture.
If the answer is
"yes", the n there is probably not hing construc t ive that Pittsburgh
residents can do to preven t the plans 1 s complet i on.
If "no 11 ,
then i t !nay be poss ible t.o negotiate with the railroad on the

A te1tat ive finding from t11e City Atto r ney ' s o ffice indicates
the railroad does n o t have the power in this case.

conclusions and Recommendations
It is clearl y evident tha t the~ souther n Railroad is det ermined to
fu l fill its p l a 1s i n the most expedien t manner.
'J~he secrecy a t
which they a cquired property and the conc eal ment of information
regarding their intentions unti l the last possible mome n t leaves
considerable doubt i n my mind as to what publ i c they represent .
It
is obviously not t h e 45,00 0 res i dents of Model Cities or the
8,000 in Pittsburgh.
As with repres e ntation, the quest i on of benefic i aries is raised.
Who b en e fit s dire ctly from expansion of t h e existing facilities?
Obviously the management and stock holders of Southern Railroad
a nd Gener a l Motors enjoy the fru i ts of this particul a r v enture.
The Pittsburgh community suffers for this plan will be to the i r
detrime nt ~
Thi s negative e f fect is the v e ry sought of situation Congress had
in mind when it e nacted Model Cit ies l e gislation in 1966.
The
objec tive of which was to s ubst antia lly impr ove t h e e nvi r onment
i n slum an d b l i ghted areas o f cities .
Here we h av e a goo d example
of h ow !l2.:!:. t o i mprove the e nvironment; the placement o f a rai l r oad
yard in a res identia l neighbo r hood is une quivocally c ontrary to
e very known principle o f envir onme nt a l healt h and s afe ty, and social
s tabil ity.
Southern's arguments of bus ine ss need a nd c i ty service
do not j ustify the predictabl e destruct i on o f a nei ghborh oode
Do
t h ese reasons take priority over the - ob j ectives of the Model ·cities
Program?
Do they justify Sou t h ern's disregard for involving residents
and public agencies who di l igent ly worked to establish plans
�-15f o r creating a bet ter p l a ce to live in ?
Do th0y justi fy s i de
st epping a h o st o f soc ial, econom i c , · .nd phys i ca l problems- and
creat i ng mor e in the pro cess - - t hat thi · ':ro gra..m is committe d t o

Maybe these qu est i ons point to the real reas o n
f o r So u thern' s sec retive approac h !
But t h e plans are now p ub l ic a nd we find ourse lve s with a s e t o f

The r a ng e to n e got i ating is
between no expansion of yard facilities , to expansion of the

These

the yards and .residential property; a park that is up to city
standards in terms of Jand and facilities; an underpass at
McDaniel Street; an adequate relocation program for the people
to be displaced including the opportunity to remain in this area;
and an adequately designed street system to serve the unusual
pattern that would result if the yard were built.
This endeavor would have to be highly coordinated and thoroughly
managed.
Resident involvement must be solicited and channeled
into the direction that would insure maximum impact on negotiations.
�-16-
Public re lations must be mobiliz e d and p repa r e d for the c on fronta tions that will occur.
An image of a united front will have t o be
maintained in orde r t o inc rease the chance s o f receiving the most
b e n e fit s from negot iation.
In short, t hi s approa ch must be
thoroughly planned and managed.
As a firs t
step, I wou l d re comrnend a h alt to the railroad's
acqu is ition program.
'rhis may b e vo lunt ary or be an i nj unct i on
which sho ld b e initia.ted 1Jy a r es i dent c ommittee-poss ibly one
s e t· up b., cope with the r a ilr o ad problem-an adhoc group.
Simultaneously, suppo r t from other public agencies mus t be
sol i cited.
The Parks Department and Planning Department,
a n d perhaps othersr must agree in p r i nciple at l east , to pre vent
the railroad from inva lidating t h eir p l ans for the area.
(After
al l, that 's what they main- ~ain when we present p l ans diffe ent
from theirs) .
In summary, we must {1) detenuine what position and action the
Program will take;
( 2) appo i nt a coordinator;
approva l for intervention; and fin ally,
( 3) solicit resident
(4 ) insure support from
appropriate public agencies.

On Tuesday, N ovembe r 4 , St·an Martin of the Porks & Recreation Department
informed Eric that Southern Roi lway was plonning to acquire a portion of Pittman· Park
in_ord~r to expand their storage faciliti es which ore now located ju st to the e ost of
Mc Dan ie l S1·reet·.
Previous to this da te, repre se ntatives of Southern Railway met with Mr .
Charl es Leftvv ich to ex plai n th e ir expansion plans. They told Mr. Leftwich that they
wa nted to acquire a pproximate ly 4 . 2 acres of t·he nort·hern section of Pittman Park
for th e stora ge of railroad ca rs. In return th ey will purch ase o pprox imo tely -4 . 8 ocres
to the southeast of t·he park and give it to the Parks De partme nt a nd buil d new
fa c il ities for any fa ciliti es whi ch th ey acquire . In oddil'ion to th e par k, Southern
Ro ilway a lso pla ns to exp0nd southwesterly into the Pittsburgh Ne ighborh ood a nd
wi ll a cqu ire 50 stru cture s betwee n McDani e l Stree t and Pittman Park.
On Wednesday, Novembe r 5, th e day after Stem Martin informed Eric ,
Re ina ld Dersc h of the Parks Deportment brought o map c f th e park and showed Eric
and Bob Southe rn Roi lway 1s plans w.ith regard to the park (but not Southern 1s comp le te
plons). At this t ime , Er ic telephoned J im Wright to in for m him of what the Planning
Deportme nt hod learned, Eric req uested that a meet ing be he ld as soon as possib le
with representatives of Southe rn Rai lway, Mode l Cities, Parks and Recreal'ion
Deportment, Housi ng Authori ty and th e Planning Deportment. Th is meeting wos
set by the Parks Department for the fo l low lng Monday.
On tv'1ondo 1 , November 10, a meeting wos he ld in the conferer,ce room of
the City Hal I Annex to discuss Southern Railway's plans . Peop le attending the
meeting included:

representing Southern Railway
J. R. Oglesby - Southern Ra il way
At this meeting Reinald Dersch of l·he Parks and Recreation Department discussed
the Roilway's plan, the effect on Pittmon Park, and some solut'ions t-o this problem. The
lend that Southern Roi lwoy ..wishes to give the Parks Department in rel·urn fo r wha!· they
purchase includes a porl'ion of the brick yard eas t of t-he presen t Park and the block
bounded by De levon Street, Fortress Avenue, Fletcher Street and West Avenue. ih is
bl"'ock c;onl·ains 30 structures (residentiol).
The greotest concern of the Porks and Recreation Department is that the po.rk
proposed by Southern Railway would be long ond fairly narrow. The bloc k with 30
structures is quii"e iso lated from the majority of Pittsbu rgh resid ents and th erefore,
the resulting pork would not well serve the residents. These problems were discussed
and t-h en the Recreation Staff members le ft.
Mr. Mc Queen, represent in g the Roi Iway, then presented Southern Roi lway•s
entire plan to th e remai_ning membe rs. The tota l plan extends from /vkDaniel Stree t
on the west to Fortre ss Stree t on th e easl'. Fifty structure s would be acquired west
of th e park cmd thirty structures would be acquired for the new Pittman Park, for a
totol of 80 structures (oll resident ial). Approximate ly ten stru ctures have a lready
been acquired west of th e park qn sca ttered sites.
Lou Orosz told Mr. McQ ueen what Model Cities is trying to accomp li sh
and stressed th e importonce of c itizen involvem e nt. Mr . McQueen stated that
Sou thern Railwoy needs thi s storage yard immediately. They do not wi sh to ge t
involved with court sui ts nor are they fond of mee ting w ith the cil'izens.
Bob Helget stated that maps ·.-vould be needed by the Planning Deportment
c:md Model Ci ties showing th e planned acquis iti on so that the full impa ct of the
proposed cou Id be studied .
The above mentioned mops were rece ived on Thursday, November 14. We
are now proceeding to pu t 1'11is information on Mode l Cities mops. Model Cities
end the Planni ng De partment will obtain information on the condition of structures
involved, number of families to be local'ed, and oth er pertinent information .

Southern Railroad Plans for Land Acquisition
in Model Cities Area
The Southern Railroad recently started to negotiate the exchange
of a portion of City owned Pittman Park for adjacent residential
and industrial property that they intend to ~cquire. As a result
of their discussions with the Parks Department, the Model Cities
Program eventually became aware of Southern•s plan to enlarge
their yard facilities in the Mechanicsville Neighborhood of
Model Cities. This plan raises many issues all of wh.ich :a.re a
deep concern to us at Model Cities and perhaps to the City at
large .
The attache d memorandum to the Mayor and others is offered in
order to br i ng these issues to your attention . In addition, it
outlines the events that prec€rl.ed· our discovery of Southern• s
plan and suggests a course of action to follow. I would greatly
appreciate any r ecommendation.a and comments you h~ve to offer .

The i r
reuse proposal ca ll s for retent i on of 11.5 acre s to b e used f or
expansion of their existing yard f ac ilitie s, while t h e remain ing
3.7 acres would be returned to the c ity f o r park use.
The rai l -
road proposes to finance t he cost o f ' con structing t h e n ew park,
including the replacement of a gymnas ium, swimming pool, and
tennis courts, all of which would be included in the initial 2.8
acre park acquisition.

Southern ' s agents H. Robinson and
C. R o McQueen met with AldE.'rman
Charles Left.wich, Jack Delius, and
Stan Martin to discuss the r ailroad's
plan.
The Pa.rks Departme nt was asked

park design that would exclude 2.8 acres

of the existing Pittman Park,
but include
I
.
the additional 3.7 acres !the railroad was
willing to swap for the excluded portion.
November 5
Southern's land agents met with the Atlanta
Housing Authority to determine the type of
relocation assistance available to occupants
of home s within the acquisition area.
Because of the unique nature of this request-
a railroad a cquiring property under the
powe r o f eminent domain in an urban renewal
area within the Mode l Cities Program-the
Authority a sked the regional office of the
Renewal As s is t ance .Administr ation ( RRA)

�-6Pittman Park situation but e xpanded to
the r e loca tion and involvement of Pittsburgh r es i dents.
Mr. J o ne s reiterated
t he Railroad ' s position a s expre ssed one
week earl i er on November 10; the acqui sit ion
of l a nd, including a portion of Pittman Park,
mus t be completed as soon as possible ; the
re location of people wa s not a railro ad
p roblem; the rai lroad would pay the fair
market value f c, r a ll p r ope rty a cquired; and
that any att empts to involve r e sidents and
other public agenci e Si-'1aS urdes irable b e cause
it would slow down the acquisi t i.- n p roc es s .
'rhe Rail r o a d c lear ly wa nted the property
acq~i red a nd facili t i es c o ns t r ucte d without
de ay .
Model Cities maintained an opposit e po siti on :
resident involvement in a ll phases of community development is the core of the Mode l
Cities Program and mu st be maintained .
The
formulation of p l ans affecting residents of
the Model Cities Area, without thei r involvemen t , iS contrary to guidelines set up by
th~ Department of Housing and Urban Development.
(HUD). Suggestions were also made that
would get the Rai l road involved in formula-
tin~ and financing a portion of the cost of
�-7re loca ting people from the propos ed acquisition area i nto new hous i ng within the Model
Cities Area .
It was additional y recommended
that this would be an excellent opportunity
for Southern to b ecome involved in the developme nt. of t h e Pittsburgh community by devi sing
waya t h at wou l d assis t in impeding the further
deterioration of residential s tructures in the
immediate vicinity of the railroa d.
(Since
the railroad is responsible for this d eterioration b y creating an undesirable residential
n eighbo r hood to live i n, they should bear the
r e sponsibility, rath er than the public a t
l a rge , for preventing t his de t erioration. )
Mr. Jones said he would convey this portion
to officia l s of t h e railroad.
November 17
Mr. J. c. Johnson presented Southern ' s p l an
to the Model Cities Board of Directors . (See
minutes - Exhib it No. 2).
The Board denounce d
the plans and attitude of the rail road ,
particularly the secretive manner by which
it planned and executed its program, and
addit ional ly, their total disregard for involving residents and the Program staff.
Finally the Board passed a resolution urging
the Model Cities Executive Board to request
the Southern Railroad to cease buying
�-8-·
prope rties until their actun l
int e ntions
a r e known.

(See l e tter of November 1 7 , 1 9 69 -
E:-chib i t No. 4) .
The opin i on said i n effec t,
that the Ci ty ' .:, ownership and u se of Pit t man Pa rk was a superior governmental use
which could not be acqu ired by the railroad
t h rougl. its eminent domain power .
Issues
1.
Resident Involvement.
Lack of a ny a.tt~mpt to solicit the involve-
ment of residents in t he planning phase of this developm -·nt.
This
represents a flagrant violation of the requirements and intentions
of the Model Cities P .ogra-m as e:itpres-:::;ed by Congress, the Department
of Housing and Urban Development, and the City of Atlanta.
If this
is allev;ed to continue it will result in de s truct ion of the trust
residents now have for the progr9-m as a means for improving
�-9-
the ir own neighborhoods .
'I'he re can b e no excepti ons fo r ex-
c luding re ide nt involvement .
2.
Acquis ition of a Portion of P,.t.tman Park.
The Mode l Cities
Plan identifies the Park as presently be ing below standards
set up b y the Prog r am and by the City o f At lanta in it s
Parks and Recreation Plan.
This de ficie ncy is i n terms of
acres, and in fac ilities by which people can en j y the park
such a s basebal l diamonds , r e c r eation center, etc.
'11 h e
Plan
a l so anticipate d acquiring th e entire Foy Brick Company in
later stages o f the Program: t he use, of cou r se , would have
b een a pa.rk a ddition.
The r eas on for not propos ing ·1-he
acquisition of a djace nt resident i a l property fo r eventua l
p ark use was bec a us e the Pittsbur gh c ommunity , i n seve r a l
meet i ngs , was again s t s uch a move .
The re l at i ve l y goo d
structu ral condi tions of these homes a n d t h e p r eservation
o f s ocia l ties between n eighbo rs was more i mpo rtant t o th-3se
people.
Th e rai l road , on t h e other hand , has not con sidered these
f acts.
After acquisition, wh i ch includes 30 dwe ll i n g un i ts
to be removed expressly for park expans i on a nd the Foy
Brick Company, park acreage will increase about one acre.
Th~s is one more acre t.han the
ark now contains, meaning
that it will continue to b e substandard.
But more important,
it means that any plan to bring it up to standards by increas ing
its acreage in the future will m0an that additional homes will
have to be acquired.
�-10 conseque ntly, t h e Railroad has e very thing t o g a in and the
Pitts burgh communit y h as ,z verything to los e - its p e opl e ,
it s homes, and the anticipa ion of enjoying a l a r g er p ark
in t h e f ut ure .

Oi sreqa r d f or the Future Developme n t of Pittsburg}~.


'r h e
So u thern Ra ilroa d has compl e t e y disreg a rded e x ist ing p lan s
f o r Pi t tsburgh .
This include s t h e City's 1983 Land Use
Pl a n , t h e City ' "' Park s an d Re cre a tion Plan, and Model Cit i es
Program Pl ans for the are a .
Th ese p lans represent a sub-
stan t i al nu.'11ber of hou r s on the p a rt of the a g enc i es inv olved
and the res i dents affected.
The c o st o f preparing the s e
d ocumen ts whi c h r e fl ects , i n th i s case , the d e sires a nd
aspirat ions o f Mode l Citie s resi ·.ents is not a l i g h t
con s ideration.
It cannot be di s regarded .
'J'he Ra ilro ad claims i t s acquis i t i on of h omes t o provi d e itse lf
with more yard faci l iti es i s j ustified for two reasons.
F -' rs t ,
that the space is needed to accommodate the outpu t of Ge neral
Motors; the intention is tha - more business (if this is
actually the Ci'J.se ) wi 11 benefit the city as a whole in the
long run.
Thi s kind of think.'ng-egotistical, one-sided,
narrow minded , a nd with the doll ar i n mind as the ult imate
objective-is responsible for destroying central city neighborhoods throughout the countryft
It is one of the reasons
why Congress has found the n eed for a Model Cities Program.
And natura11y it is completely oppos·te t h e short run1
coor iinated, and comprehensive approach of this Prograrn
�-11-
t owa rds i mproving t h e l i f e of peop le l i ving in the a rea and
partic i pating in the Prog rrun .
I think that t his r eas on ing ic: i nv a lid within the boundaries
of this Prog r am .
The short run time period is unquestionably
mo re critical to Pi t t sbu gh -esiden ts th an it i s to t h e
ques tion abl e long run n ee ds of the Ci t-y, t 1,e Sou thern Rail r oad,
and Gener a l Motors -in thi s instan ce.
On th e second r e a s on, Southern believes it is doing- a serv i ce
to · h e Ci ty b y r emoving s ubstandard structure s in the path of
i t s p r opo sed yard facilities.
If the struc ture s are s ub -
standar d t o the d e gre e South ern claims,
(a nd this is que stionable),
t h en it is b ecau se of t h eir nearness t o t h e ra il.ro a d.

Th e people wh o c an affo r d t o

high cost of materials and labor u sed in home repa i rs.
(B ecau se
the homes are marginal doe s n't mc~an t he people are marginal
o:r undesirable).
It can be predicted with reasonable certainty t h at once the
yar d is constructe d as presently planned , the adjacent buildings
will deteriorate over the years.
In a similar manner to the
present situation, Southern ls laying the groundo10 rk for another
claim when the need for additional yard fa.cili ties arises g that
they are doing a service to the City by removing them.

Acquiring Pittman Park b y the Power of Eminent Domain.
Can

Southern Railroad-a public utility-exercise its delegated power

The question is important because its answer may detennine
the ' s uccess or failure of Southern's venture.
If the answer is ;
"yes", then there is probably nothing constructive that Pittsburgh
residents can do to pre vent the plans's completion.

If "no",

Conclusions and Re commenda tion s
It is clearly evident tha t the Southern Railroad is determined to
fulfill its plans in the most expedient manner.
The secrecy at
whic h they acquired property and the concealment o f information
regarding their intent ions until the last possible moment leaves
c onsiderable doubt i n my mi1d a s to what public they rep resent.
It is obviously not the 45,000 residents of Model Cities or the
s.ooo
in Pittsburgh .
As with repre s e ntation, t h e ques tion of beneficiari e s is raised.
Who benE:fits directly from expans ion of the existing facilities?
Obvious ly the manag ement and stockholders of Southern Railroad
and Gen eral Mo t ors enj oy the fru its o f thi s par ticul a r v enture .
'l'he Pitts b urgh c ommunity s u f f e rs for t hi s plan will b e to the ir
d etri ment.
This negative e ffe ct · s t h e ver'y s ought of s i t ua t i on Congre s s had
in mind when i t e n act e d Mo de l Cit ie s l egis lation in 1966.
The
obj ect i ve of which was to sub st antially i mprove t h e environme n t
i n s l um and blighted areas o f cities.
Here we h Rv e a good exampl e
o f h ow no~ to improve t h e environment ; t h e placement of a rai l r oad
yard in a residential n eighborhood is unequivocally con trary to
every known principle of envi ronmental h eal t h a nd safety; and social
stability.
Southern' s argu.i.-uents o f bus i ness need and city service
do not justify the predict.able destruct i on of a neigr..borhood.
Do
these reasons take priority over the objectives of the Model Cities
Program?
Do they justify Southern's disregard for involving residents
and public agencies who di}igent l y worked to establish plans
�-15for creating a bette r place to live in?
Do they justify side
steppi ng a host of socia ., economic, a nd physical problems-- and
creating more in the process-that this Program is committed to
solving ?
Maybe these questions p o int to the r al reason
for Southern's secretive approach !
But th e plans are no..-1 pu.'blic and we f i nd ourselves with a set of
fact s -and a challenge: ·Reve rsing the hi s torical process .
the ra ' lroad aware of the prob l ems it is creating,
Ivi.ake
and ask them
to j oin us in findi ng an acceptable s olution, for them a n d for
the resident s of Pitts burgh.
Thi s appr o a ch must be through negotiation.
which is resident involvement.

On Tuesd_(;!y,..,~November 4, Stan Martin of the Parks & Recreation Department
informed Eric that Southern Railway was planning to acquire a portion of Pittman Park
in_order to expand their storage facilities which are now located just to the east of
McDaniel Srreet.
-I
Previous to this date, representatives of Southern Railway met with Mr. Charles Leftwich to explain their expansion plans. They told Mr. Leftwich that they
wanted to acquire approximately 4.2 acres of l·he northern section of Pittman Pc1rk
for the storage of railroad cars. In return they will purchase approximately 4.8 acres
to the southeast of t·he park and give it to the Parks Department and build new
facilities for any facilities which -they acquire. In addition to the park, Southern
Railwo)' also plans to exptmd southwesterly into the Pittsburgh Neighborhood and
will acquire 50 structures between McDaniel Street and Pittman Park.
I
On Wednesday, November 5, the day after Ston Martin informed Eric,
Reinold Dersch of the Parks Departh1ent brought a map of the park and showed Eric
and Bob Southern Railway's plans with regard to the park (but not Southern's complete
plons). At this tim_e , Eric te!ephoned Jim Wright to inform him of what the Planning
Department had learned. Eric requested that a meeting be held as soon as possible
with representatives of Southern Railway, Model Cities, Parks and Recreation
Department, Housing Authority and the Planning Deportment. This meeting was
set by the Parks Deportment for the fol lowing Monday.
On Mondo1 , November 10, a tneeting was held in the confercr,ce room of
~1e City Hal I Annex to discuss Southern Railway's plans. People attending the
meeting included:
Howard Grigsby ., Housing Authority
Lou Orosz & Jim Wright - Model Cities
Jimmy Mimms, Virginia Carmichael, Betty Yarborough, Molly Waggoner ,

At this meeting Reinold Dersch of the Parks and Re creation De partment discussed
the Roi !way's plan, the e ffect on Pittman Pork, and some solutions to th is problem. The
lond that Southern Railway wishe s to give the Parks De partment in rel·urn for what they
purchase incl udes a porl·ion of t·he bri ck yord east of the present Perk and the block
bounded by De levoti Street , Fortress Ave nue , Fle tcher Street and West Avenue . Th is
bfock coni·a ins 30 structu res (resi dentiol).
The greate st concern of the Parks and Recreation De partme nt is that the pork
proposed by Southe rn Railway would be long ond fai rly narrow. ihe block w ith 30
structures is qu ite isolated from the majority o f Pittsburgh res idents and th ere fore,
the resulting park wou ld not well serve the residents. These probl ems we re discussed
and then the Re crea tion Sta ff membe rs left.
Mr. McQuee n, re presen ting the Ra ilway , then presented Southern Ra ilway 's
enHre p lan to th e remal ning membe rs . The tota l pi on ex tends from M cDanie l Stree t
on th e west to Fortress Street on the eas1·. Fifty structures woul d be acq uired west
o f the park and thirty structures wou ld be acquired for the new Pittman Park, for a
tota l of 80 structures (a ll res ide nti a l) . Approx imate ly te n struc tures have olre ady

Th~ writer , after conferring wit h Me r . James B. Pilcher and

property in Pittman Park is now being put is~ superior governmental
land u e and 1 therefore , c nnot be the subject of eminent dam in

to tho grantor.a of the property.
Tru,refore, I am of the tentative opinion that should the City
of Atlanta wish to dispose of t:he property in question, it may
do so. provided that the charter and related ordinances of the
Cit:y of Atl'2nta are---followed in thia respect.
Th~, primary piu-pose of th1a letter is to request that you ~"lree
get1tlomon sit ,down and attempt 1:0 bring about a unified position
of the City of Atlanta ~ith respect to this matter.

One~ you have made soma sort of a resolution, if you would kindly
appri1e the wTiter of what that ia, we shall then proceed with
your wishes. Por purposes of •· laga l economy' , Mes ors, Pilcher
antl !ward and myself feel that wa would batter serve a unified
position rath~r than ~ch of us going off on a separate cour&e
at the behest of several clie..~ta.

Thanks for the proposal for coordinating the Intergovernmental coordinators .
I am in full greement with your approach .
you are aware, I have taken a firm positixm ag inst the creation of
anoth r national organization. l feel s you do, that a trong USCM/NLC
committee, recognized by the organization, would be the beet approach.

Some of th feder 1 aid coordinator in the pa t have worked with NLC nd/or
USCM on various committee and h ve had ome voic in the formul tion
of the national policy of the two groups . However. with the tremendou ·
growth in th numb r nd xp rti e of the coordin tore, it ie obviou that

Dear Dan:
In view of our inability to influence the format of the meeting of
Intergovernmental or Federal Aid Coordinators set for November 30
in San Diego and the prospect of a talk session November 13 in
Washington, I feel that it is urgent that a proposal be formulated
that can be discussed with the NLC/USCM staff on November 13 and
presented for discussion and adoption November 30.
I have attached a proposal. I would like to call you in a f ew days
to hear your reaction or discuss any alternate package you may have
already formulated.
I feel some frustration that our initial efforts have apparently become
bogged down within the NLC/USCM staff, but I also conclude that the
potential of a mechanism f or us to speak as one voice to the FEDS, or
NLC/USCM, may be worthy of some additional effort.
Larry R. Coons

�Inglewood Proposal
It seems to me that the question to be resolved is whether or not the
NLC/USCM is willing to give staff support to a section or division of
Intergovernmental Coordinators in the field of federal aid for the purpose
of facilitating exchange· of information on a continuing basis and
organizing workshops to assist interested persons to become informed
about new programs and changes in existing programs.
If such is true, it is proposed that the initial format of such a grouping
within the joint NLC/USCM program would be an open roster with efforts
made to identify the individual who is most directly concerned for the
liaison with federal officials in the submission and review of applications.
In addition to the dissemination of information among these people, the
purpose of such workshops and meetings will be to help make existing or
new programs more workable at the level of implementation.
I n order to provide continuity and f acili t a t e r esponse on urgent issue s,
an Intergovernmental Coordinators committee would be formed to provide a
repre sentative and an alternate f rom ea ch of the f ederal regions .
The
de l egat e and alt e rna t e would be sel e cte d at a duly called meeting or
election of the representatives on the NLC / USCM r oster of fe deral aid
coordinato r s from each region or, i f such repres entati ves are not so
named, to be appointed f r om the region by the committee which is so
formed.
A chairman would be elected by the committee to serve as spokesman
�and convener of all meetings.
The committee would advise the staff on
workshop attendance and request interim meetings with pertinent federal
and other representatives to cover topics of concern.
The function of forming such a grouping is not to establish a new
professional organization, but to identify a mechanism by which
intergovernmental or federal aid coordinators can identify within the
framework of the NLC/USCM.
Such mechanism is also hoped to provide a
vehicle for intergovernmental or federal aid coordinators to speak with
a semblance of unity in reacting to staff proposals and making recommendations
on federal programs.
