Onorato Touts Light-Rail Development To House

Mixed-use development along the Port Authority's light-rail system in the South Hills is the future of transit-oriented projects in the region, Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato said Thursday in testimony before the state House Majority Policy Committee.

"The idea behind these developments is we want to bring residential and commercial (uses) to where transit already is," he said. Onorato cited proposed development near a Castle Shannon park-and-ride as the ideal model: 60 apartment units, 65,000 square feet of retail space and a parking deck for Port Authority commuters.
