Should Wilkinsburg become Pittsburgh’s 91st neighborhood?
A majority of Wilkinsburg’s elected officials say “no.”
“A merger would destroy Wilkinsburg,” said Denise Edwards, president pro-tem of borough council. “As an elected official how can you possibly destroy your own community. It doesn’t make sense.”
“Because of the negative impact on our community. We believe It not in the best interestof Wilkinsburg residents” -council member Denise Edwards pic.twitter.com/PkqOsol5vJ
But enough residents are willing to explore the idea.
They have signed a petition that the Wilkinsburg Community Development Corp. intends to present to an Allegheny County judge next week to officially begin the process, the group’s executive director, Tracey Evans, said Thursday.

Following guidance from its national professional association, the Pittsburgh Controller’s Office will no longer use “CAFR” as shorthand for “comprehensive annual financial reports.”
The long-standing acronym sounds like “Kaffir,” an offensive term used by Apartheid-era South Africans for the Blacks who live there. The Government Finance Officers Association, the trade group for government financial professionals, released guidance Tuesday to end use of CAFR.
“Kaffir” is defined as “Black African: a contemptuous term” by Webster’s New World College Dictionary, which guides the style of The Associated Press and many news organizations.
