If you follow the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), the 2018-2022 CIP has been posted with the Public Hearing to be held at the Commission meeting on Tuesday, October 10, 2017 in the Commission Chambers, Municipal Building.
Planned for 2022:
Lighting for the Clint Seymour Field (Wildcat) $525,230
McNeilly Fields (2 rectangular fields and 1 baseball/softball field) $5,095,530.
The toxic turf at Seymour will be approaching the end of its life in 2022.
Keep in mind that the school district is considering artificial turf on the Rock Pile, Jefferson Middle School field, and Mellon Middle School field, in addition to replacing the high school stadium field which is at the end of its life.

Ha. Wait, is this the same community that forces people to recycle? Calls itself a tree city? Wrote some dumb letter opposing gas drilling?
Think about how 5 million bucks could be used in Puerto Rico or Texas or Florida. But hey, sports...Guess we know who owns the commisssioners.
#priorities
Nobody wants to travel to fields on McNeilly Road.
Brookline and Dormont will appreciate the gift though.
What is it with this community?!
There is a large group that proclaims they are all about being green, stopping global warming, cutting energy consumption and proclaim a love of nature.
Yet where are these green weenies and the Mt. Lebanon Environmenat Sustainability Board when Lebowitz’s and the commissioners are plan to increase electricity consumption ,reducing CO2 absorbing plant life and adding EPA controlled tire rubber in our community.
How many turfed and lighted sports fields does one friggin’ community need? Especially considering there are far fewer kids than there were thru the 60s, 70s and 80s.
Let’s see... the school district wants to turf the Rock Pile, Jefferson and Mellon and re-turf the stadium.
The commissioners just turfed the crown jewel at Cedar. (Anybody see the realtor tour buses carrying prospective home buyers by there?) they are proposing turfing and lighting Wildcat and installing 2 rectangular fields and one baseball field at McNeilly.
8 new or re-turfed and possibly lighted fields!
What are they trying to do, cover the entire 6 sq. miles in plastic glass and tire crumbs!
