Dormont Junction Development

Spoke on behalf of Joy Smith, reporting that PennDOT has until about November 22 to respond to a Right-to-Know request about traffic capacity analysis for the 183-unit project near the Route 51 road diet.

Demanded a freeze on the Dormont Junction project until a comprehensive, transparent school district capacity audit is completed, citing 183 units' impact on Keystone Oaks schools and a 1,053-member property owner alliance.

Urged council to protect Dormont's interests in negotiations with the developer and Port Authority, asked whether the agreement will be public before signing (yes), and criticized the TOD zoning being written with no parking requirement.
