Note that nothing in subparagraphs a,b, and c mentions that eminent domain is a subject "out of bounds" for petition purposes.

SOP for municipal governments - undertake an illegal action so that it gets forced into the courts - and then drag it out in the courts so that the victim is exhausted financially and gives up. Seems to me that the only thing they'll listen to is a recall petition.

Does Pennsylvania let them sue the city back for legal costs, for taking a frivolous legal position?

Also if this is as stupid a move as being reported here, is there a possibility of this resulting in enough of the city council getting voted out to kill the measure?

The only thing that stood out to me like it might be in favor of the city, is that it was "maintaining" the land in question for decades. How can this have been happening to private property, and who paid for it?

Good call. A recall would be far cheaper.
