  •   North Shore complex vote delayed
    27 May 2009
    Dozens of people packed a city planning commission meeting yesterday to protest a proposed master plan for the North Shore in a renewed bid to secure jobs and other benefits for residents.

    After more than two hours of testimony, the commission still hadn't heard from everyone who wanted to speak against the plan, which includes development of a year-round entertainment complex next to Heinz Field.

    As a result, it delayed a vote and a separate hearing on the $12 million entertainment venue for two more weeks.

    A long line of protesters who took turns lashing out against a proposed North Shore Master Plan and amphitheater on Tuesday forced the City Planning Commission to delay voting on them for at least two weeks.

    More than 150 people crammed into the hearing in the John P. Robin Civic Building on Ross Street, Downtown, many carrying signs and wearing Northside United shirts. Others stood outside and chanted, demanding that North Shore developers agree to a Community Benefits Agreement that would ensure jobs and other benefits for residents.
