Body
WHEREAS, the City of Pittsburgh wishes to eliminate minimum parking requirements for the development of single-family attached dwellings in order to improve pedestrian safety in our neighborhoods, reduce the number of curb cuts on neighborhood sidewalks, and limit removal of on-street parking spaces; and,

The Council of the City of Pittsburgh hereby enacts as follows:
