There are very few "walking communities" left in Allegheny County. Mt. Lebanon -- with about 33,000 residents in 6 square miles -- certainly qualifies.
It has produced its share of studies on the subject of cars, people and their interactions on the roads. A 2004 Pedestrian Safety Initiative examined 42 intersections in the municipality, where improvements to certain high-traffic areas have been made in recent months.
The ward of Dan Miller, one of Mt. Lebanon's five commissioners, includes two particularly difficult areas -- Washington Road and the intersection of Cochran Road and Cedar Boulevard. A young girl was recently involved in a hit-and-run incident at the second site; she sustained minor injuries.
