Lebo: News Roundup

The Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Food Festival is coming, June 14-17.

More "traffic calming" for Mt. Lebanon is under discussion. (This is unwise, in my view; I'd rather see the MtLPD write more traffic tickets for speeding and other moving violations.)

The PG covers the Zamagias TIF application.

Mt. Lebanon may pass an ordinance that enables vendors on Washington Road to sell food from sidewalk carts. (This would be a good thing, I think.)

School Board president Joe Rodella thinks that the Board handled the "Top 25" list issue appropriately, by staying neutral and out of the way of a police investigation. As reported by the PG, his statement seemed not to recognize that the District brought a lot of criticism and unwanted publicity on itself by referring a student disciplinary matter to the police in the first place. Meanwhile, the Allegheny County District Attorney announced that his office has no plans to pursue the matter. The announcement made the front page of the Post-Gazette, which, curiously, did not report the fact that the sun came up that day -- an event that was as surprising and newsworthy as the DA's statement.

What if Mapleton and Marietta were both made one-way streets? Seems to work ok for North Meadowcroft & Ralston, which are the other components of the "skip Beverly @ Cochran & Bower Hill @ Cochran lights" shortcut route.

Re: Anthony said "if Mt. Lebanon is serious about traffic, we would have to look at how children are transported to school."
We have 7 elementary schools because Mt. Lebanon was designed to be a 'walking community'. What ever happened to that? If parents insist on driving their children to school, maybe the school board should seriously consider consolidating some of these schools, which have far more capacity than students.
