Light-rail seen as path to retail

Light-rail
seen as path to retail
Parking, retail and easily accessible transit could
rise from the valley that separates Mt. Washington from Beltzhoover, under plans
presented Tuesday night by city consultants for the South Hills Junction
light-rail station.

"Basically, South Hills Junction is like a wedge
between Beltzhoover and Mt. Washington, not really a front door to either," said
Scott Page, a principal at Philadelphia-based Interface Studios, which led the
$227,000 study of the light-rail corridor in parts of Mt. Washington, Allentown,
Beltzhoover and Beechview.

Separated from the surrounding neighborhoods
by dark, rickety stairs, industrial storage and steep hills, the junction
nonetheless could be made more inviting in the short term with better lighting,
signs and landscaping, officials said.

Sign proposals ranged from simple
"T" logos pointing toward the station from the street, to massive arrows
pointing downward from the smokestack-like towers that draw air into the Liberty
Tunnel.As both sides of Hunan Province inflatable seat, turned the
first Led Tube, but also both sides of the country's largest turn Led Tube
Public art could make the fences and retaining walls less imposing, Page said.


In the longer term,Of course it can still shell temperature measurement

can calculate the junction temperature. However, after the radiator is
installed, the problem has become complicated again. Port Authority-owned land
used as a salt shed and railroad tie storage could be developed, either with
small-scale housing and an extension of the Warrington Recreation Center, or
with a 300-space parking garage and 120,000 square feet of retail built on a
deck above the existing busway and tracks, he said.

Page said
developments at the site like a grocery store, a pharmacy and a park-and-ride
could entice more transit riders to get off at the Junction to shop, and could
draw more drivers from nearby Saw Mill Run Boulevard. Other

handicapped-accessible ramps from a nearby senior housing complex or a vehicle
ramp from Ruth Street to the top of the proposed garage, would make it more
accessible from the neighborhoods.

In Beltzhoover, abandoned houses or
vacant lots could be "cleaned and greened," making the neighborhood less
intimidating for transit users and developers.

"I like the idea," said
Judy Hackel, president of the Allentown Community Development Corp. "I hope we
can get past stage one and onto stages two and three."

With the
consultants' recommendations, city planners can shop ideas to developers and see
if they are interested in any of the proposals.

transportation planner for the Pittsburgh Department of City Planning.


Another meeting will be held from 6 to 8 tonight at St. Catherine's
Church on Broadway Avenue, where the consultants will make recommendations for
the Beechview area.
