About a decade in the making, Castle Shannon Manager Tom Hartswick said he's hopeful an agreement can reached with a Mt. Lebanon developer to construct a platform above the Port Authority "T" station at Mt. Lebanon and Castle Shannon boulevards.
The developer would build apartments and designate commercial space on top of the platform. Mt. Lebanon officials are also keenly interested in the plans, because the area in question has been known for traffic congestion. Mt. Lebanon Manager Steve Feller said he wants to see the traffic studies once they've been submitted to Castle Shannon by the developer.

This could be a very exciting project - although I am generally skeptical when a project can't stand on its own merits without public subsidy.
Additionally, I am VERY surprised by MTL wanting to see the traffic studies. When residents raised the issue about the comprehensive development of the neighborhood and specifically how this project would impact the Kossman site proposal - residents were told it was NOT a consideration.
And further, when the Commission was asked if Castle Shannon was queried about the Kossman development, residents were told we were not concerned with Castle Shannon's views.
Ain't that neighborly!
I'm confused. Is this story about the Castle Shannon or the Arlington station? Both are very close, but neither is "at Mt. Lebanon and Castle Shannon boulevards".
