I see Phase 2 for parking on Cedar Blvd. on page 42 of the CIP. $275,000 for Brafferton (page 41 of the CIP), $700,000 Phase 2 LIGHTING FOR WILDCAT FIELD (page 51 of the CIP) and the best one yet - are you sitting down? See page 44 of the CIP. $4.2 million for McNeilly Field set for 2018.
Will the Sports Advisory Board have to cough up 25% of the cost for Phase 2 for parking and lighting Wildcat Field? It's doubtful. Will the SAB have to come up with a million dollars for McNeilly? Ha!

A few parts of the "Capital Improvement program for 2016 - 2020" suggest the following: If I were to come to your front door with a gun drawn, demand money, and tell you I was going to use it to benefit some local youth sports group, you would call the cops once I had left your property - and rightly so! But the Municipality of Mt. Lebanon can do essentially the same thing, and a great many residents will applaud.
