With funding from a state-awarded Transit Revitalization Investment District (TRID) grant, Mt. Lebanon is completing a study of two development scenarios for sites surrounding its Washington Rd. T station. The $75,000 multi-municipality project also involves the Borough of Dormont.
“We’re taking advantage of an untapped asset we have in the T, and its proximity to our central business district. There’s a trend around the country of people moving back into urban centers,” says Mt. Lebanon’s commercial districts manager, Dan Woodske. “It calls for more high-density residential. It makes sense for people who work in Pittsburgh.

I think this is all fantastic, and I hope the projects at Dormont Junction and Potomac are also successful.
However, I thought this quote from Keith McGill was hilarious: “.... I don’t when the last hotel was built in the South Hills. It’ll be very fresh looking, in between Downtown and the airport.”
Say what? The airport is west and slightly north of downtown.
On a map, the southward bend of the Parkway West makes it seem as if Lebo is close to the highway, but the crazy topology of Lebo, Dormont, Banksville, Greentree, Carnegie, etc, means it usually takes just as long to get on the Parkway as it does to then drive to the airport.
In fact, I would say that the lack of decent highway access may be the most frustrating aspect of living in the south hills.
