This needs done. City Council has no vision. They allow every downtown building to put a giant sign on top of their towers. But not this? I still wish they didn't block the electronic sign on the new transportation terminal. That would have become a real exciting corner in downtown.
Apparently Luke Ravenstahl isn't happy with that new law. According to that article he lacked the power to stop that going into law. There are things this city does that I like (altho it's in conjunction with PNC and other locally based corporations that DO have a vision), but for the most part, this city is ass backwards. This stupid sign ordinance and the felony against smart planning they're about to commit in Squirrel Hill seem to be the biggest interests for this city unfortunately...

The state's no better. They're going to be responsible for something that will prove counterproductive to this:

Oh, and at the national level, they're cutting tax credits for renewable energy projects. What the hell are you doing, Obama?
