Uptown Parking Meters

Mt. Lebanon will not be enforcing the parking meters on Thanksgiving, Black Friday nor Small Business Saturday. The garages will be managed on a regular schedule.

The Municipality will also be rolling out the "Courtesy Ticket Program" beginning Monday, December 10th and that will carry on till Wednesday, January 2nd. Customers are extended a 'grace period' of one hour after a meter expires as a Holiday courtesy. A green courtesy ticket is issued on expired meters that inform the driver of the bonus. After the one hour a standard ticket would be issued (i.e. with a fee).

Happy Thanksgiving

Traditionally, Thanksgiving has been a time to express gratitude for what we have and to spend time with the ones we love. But for many years, Thanksgiving has meant the start of a very stressful holiday season of buying stuff, instead of doing stuff with our friends and family. We've starting to put presents before presence.

1. Participate in Buy Nothing Day on November 24. Take the pledge to avoid crowded malls on the busiest shopping day of the year, and invite your friends to do the same!
2. Start a conversation about Stuff. Talk with your friends and family about where our Stuff comes from and where it goes – and the impacts on people and the planet along the way. Sharing The Story of Stuff movie on social media is a great icebreaker!
3. Give a non-material gift like event tickets or membership to a local museum.
4. Gift something home-made or second-hand like baked goods, upcycled art, or quality used items.
5. Volunteer with a local charity or community organization – and bring your friends along, too.
6. Make a plan to relax. Holiday obligations and activities can leave us with little time to truly recharge. Set aside some time to get out into nature or to simply curl up with a good book.
