Notes:Crescent Place

2001-03-26: Source:Thomas-city: "In another new city development, Summerset at Frick Park, street names were chosen by committee. ¶ 'We actually had a brainstorming session with the partnership, with each of the five partners represented,' said Sally Pfaff, project manager for Summerset Land Development Associates, which is creating the new community adjacent to Squirrel Hill. That didn't mean five people; it was more like five gangs of people, she said. ¶ 'Originally we thought of architects' names, such as Olmstead,' Pfaff said. 'Then we realized one of the assets of this community is Frick—Frick Park itself. We wanted to keep the history and components that make this area special.' ¶ The group came up with a list of about two dozen names. ¶ 'The mayor has a monthly Nine Mile Run Task Force meeting with representatives from the neighborhoods surrounding the new development [including Regent Square, Squirrel Hill, Duck Hollow and Swisshelm Park], and we took it to them,' said Pfaff. Working together, they came up with the group of names that has now been approved by City Council. ¶ . . . ¶ The street by Crescent Park—a park of that shape—will be called Crescent Place."
