Allegheny County @Allegheny_Co 25 Dec Mt. Lebanon: Castle Shannon Blvd near Mt Lebo Blvd, pedestrian struck by car. Castle Shannon Blvd closed btwn Anawanda Dr & Mt Lebo Blvd.
9:25 - Thanks for the additional info. The police blotter states another pedestrian was hit on NM on 12/13 @ 1900. But Mt Leb magazine is touting the safety on our streets this month....
9:25 There are sidewalks on only one side of Castle Shannon Blvd in the area near Crystal. So if the individual was leaving Crystal Drive and needed to walk on CS Blvd, s/he would have to cross the road there in order to follow the rule that pedestrians should use sidewalks when they are available.
This incident reminds of one in which an Asbury employee was killed years ago on Bower Hill. Many of the folks who are employed in these facilities rely on public transportation and need to have a safe route from their employer to the bus stops or T.
In this case, they need a crosswalk and driver awareness that people cross at Crystal.
Mme. Moderator --- Our little group wants to wish you, and all the Civs of Mt. Lebanon, a wonderful New Year of health, prosperity, and good will. Now that we live in a One Party Jurisdiction, let us all hope that point-of-view will not become a requirement for fair treatment from our local governmental entities - specifically the municipal commission and the school board (a splendid New Year's resolution for our office holders).
We have one prediction for the New Year that may not prove to be all that insightful, but nonetheless correct: this time next year (2014), the new H.S. overruns will take us to the $5million mark. What will the "we can hold it to $95million" crowd say then? I suspect at least some will feel vindicated in their view that misrepresentation is an effective policy to get what you want. I wish for those on the school board the continued blessing of sound sleep, regardless of conscience.
I do have to ask one question for some of the municipal commissioners who think that making our town a shooting gallery is a good idea---don't your "Liberal" scruples include gun control? May our commissioners enjoy the blessing of continued respect from others, even if they cannot not manage to find any respect for others.
Best Wishes for the New Year to Everyone! And to all, a Good Night.
The Post Gazette recently created a video via "Digging with Doug" that dispensed advice on how gardeners can manage deer on their property. They also provided a blog entry with more advice for deterring the deer. I hope this info will be welcome news to the gardeners in the community who struggle with the deer. Doug also noted that dogs are excellent deer repellents but keep in mind, a dog inside isn't too intimidating to deer.

Is that a Kristen Linfante deer being roasted on an open fire ?
Does anybody know about the accident in Mt Lebanon on Castle Shannon Boulevard last night (Christmas)? Road was closed and pedestrian hit.
10:52 AM, I have not been able to find anything online. It looks like it is being hushed up.

Maybe the police blotter will yield more details...when it is posted in a few weeks.
I have been told that it was reported on one of the TV stations, but I have not been able to find anything online.

It is rumored the accident involved a local elected official...

It was a Baptist Home employee who crossed in middle of the road near Crystal - Mercy Hospital with multiple fractures.
