Historic District Community Meeting

WHEN: Monday July 20, 2026 at 7:00pm

WHERE: City of Asylum (Upstairs), 40 W. North Ave.

See the City’s event page for a draft version of the guidelines.

The City has also provided a virtual meeting link (Google Meets).

Please join us for a community meeting hosted by Allegheny City Central Association (ACCA) and the Mexican War Streets Society (MWSS) regarding changes to the Mexican War Streets Historic District Design Guidelines for the Issuance of Certificates of Appropriateness.

This meeting is being held so that residents of the Mexican War Streets Historic District, including the expanded district boundaries, can gain an understanding of efforts by the Department of City Planning (DCP) to update the design guidelines for our district. DCP is working with consulting firm evolveEA on this effort.

A first draft, updated guidelines document is expected to be made available to the neighborhood prior to this meeting. Another notice will be issued when that draft document is released.

This meeting will also serve as the Q2 Membership Meeting for the Mexican War Streets Society.
