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. �- c.Thi s p l an r aises many i ssues and que s tio ns a ll of w~ich will hav e t o be answe red in the forthcoming we el:.s .

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 further determina ion. Novembi:..r 6 Planning Department became aware of ~3outh ern' s plan for the Pittman Park acquisition only. At this time the Depart- ment a.rranged a meeting for Monday, Novem- ber 10, at the Parks Department Conference Room and reques ed Model Cities repre- �-5- 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 relocation o f p eople was not a ra ilroad p r oble m; t he r a ilroad would pay t h e fa i r marke t v a l ue f o r a ll property acqu ired ; a nd 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. November 17 Mr. J.C . Johnson presented Southern ' s plan to the Mode l Cit i es Board of Directors . 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. Novenber 19 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. �-1 2- 4. Res ident Relocation. 'l'he Mod e l Ci t i e s Pr.ogr aJTI h a s cont i nually maint aine d t hat residen ts will be given t h e oppor tunity t o remain in t he ir ne i ghborhood i n t h e e vent t hey had to be re located . With oppo r t un i ty th ere must be cho i c e. '1,h e lac k o f s tanda r d dwe l ling unit s within the area h as p l a ced this b u rden of p r ov i d ing choice on the provi s ion o f tempo rc r y ho using un i t s . Occupa nc y o f tempo rary un its wo u ld b e unt i l such t i.me as pe r manent s truc t ure s were built . '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. 5. Ac quiring Pi ttman Park by t he P9wer of Emine n t Domain . Can Southern Railroa d-a p ublic uti li ty- exerc ise i ts delegated power o f emin ent domain in the acqu islt i on o f 2 .8 a c res of Pi ttman· P.ark? '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 i ssues al r eady rai sed. 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. No. 4) • (See Exhibit �-14- 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 sol ving·? 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 f a ct s-- an d a chal l e ng e : Revers ing the h i s toric a l pro cess . the ra 'l:r.oad aware o f the problems it i s c re ating, MakG and a sk them to j oin u s in find i ng a n a cc e p table solution, f or t h em and f o r the r esident s of Pittsburgh. Th is appr o ach mus t b e t hrough nego t i atio n . which i s res i dent invo l v eme nt. Th e p r erequi site o f The r a ng e to n e got i ating is between no expansion of yard facilities , to expansion of the facilities with an i mprovement to t h e s urrounding area. These improvements would consist of h.~gh qua l ity b uffering between 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. . �T o: Colli er Gladin, George_Aldridge, Pierce Mahony, Don Swea t · (· From: Subj ect : D.'\ T E Eri c , Bob c_;" 1 /r ~ -/ ,6/4~ Southern Railway' s Planned Ex pans ion of Storage Faciliti:?s in the Pittsburgh Neighborhood DISPOSITI O N Di s tribu te [ .J Hold L..J FIi o [J Info. 011/ y 0 Nove mber 18, I969 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·.

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.

On Novembe r 10 , 1969, t h e Mod e l Cities Program fir st became aware o f plans o f t h e Sout h ern Rail road t o expand their exist ing storage ya rd in the Pitts bu r gh- Me ch anics ville Area. This mqve affe cts only the Pittsburgh c ommunity where acqui s i tion of 15 . 2 acres of l a nd i s p r esent l y i n p r og r e ss ; Southern is c urren tly attempting to negotiate t h e acqu is i tion of 2~8 acres. o f Pittman Pa rk belonging to the Ci ty o f Atlanta an d p art o f the 15.2 acre s ite. 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. �-,t, - This pl ar raises many i ssu es and que s tion s a l l of ~ hic h will have to b e an swered in the forthcoming weeks. It is the e xprecs purpose o f this memo to prepare a proper foundation for this period by -tat ing, as accura t e ly as possible , t he events that preceded and f o llowed our i nitial discovery f Sonthern's plan on November 10 , and t he i ssues that I believe have been raised as a result . have I l s o made s ome .re comrn.enda·1• ions regarding t h e course of action we shou ld take .

October 30 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 �-4- to determine the , feasibility . of a new park design that would exclude 2.8 acres I 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) f o r a n op in i on. t h at RRA tentative ly d etermine d n.Q fina ncial assistance was available · under ex isti ng regulation s and contacte d t heir home office in Washing ton, D. c. for f u rth er de t e rmination.

�-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. Novembl§r 18 Model Cit ies Exe cutive Board met and lis t ened to a presentation of Southern's plan by Jim Wright. Exhibit No. 3). (See news pap er article - 'l'hey r e solved to a.sk Southern to delay its p rograrn until the full impact of their plan on Pittsburgh and t he Mode l Cities Pr ogram Pl an wa s known . November 1 9 A tentative l ega l opinion reg a rding the ut i l i zation of GUi.nent domain in making the Pi ttman Park a c q ui s ition was rec eiv e d b y J. c. J ohnson f rom the At lanta Departme nt o f Law . (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 . 3~

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.

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.

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. �-124.

Acquiring Pittman Park b y the Power of Eminent Domain. Can I Southern Railroad-a public utility-exercise its delegated power c:>f eminent domain in the acquisition of 2.8 acres of Pittman ~ l?.ark? 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. I If "no", .I t i en it m~y be possible to negotiate with the railroad ori the I i r ues a~ready rais e d-. 11.. \ tentative finding from the City Attorney's office indicates t ~ e railroad does not have the power in this case, (See Exhibit 'i Nr- ·4), •-,J I·' I ,.·· I .i . ' �-14.- 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. '11 h e 'I'he: prere quisit e of rang e to neg o iating is between no e x pansio n of yard f a cilitie s , to e x pans i o n of the fa c i l iti es with a n impro v e me nt to the surroun d ing area.

Only November 18, 1969 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.

A 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 they mu t be given bigge-r rol~ a roup. I upport your p:ropoe 1.

Sweat, Jr. Director of Governmental Liaison City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 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 Assistant to the Ci ty Administrator LRC :ma Encl. �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. �
