(Actually, the Polish Hill is apparently pretty popular, but I had the Mexican War on my visit.)
The Forest Hills sounds amazing! I'm not much of an onion fan, so the Polish Hill would be out.

Yeah, I too and pretty disappointed in seeing those plans. Seems like the layout is textbook 1980's commercial center with more up to date architecture and better landscaping. Forget the South Side Works, I'm prett sure the Homestead Waterfront is more pedestrian-friendly than that. At least Homestead has buses (at least right now anyway).

I really don't understand the need for this project at all. All the stuff they are talking about putting in this development already exists in some capacity so all it will do is cause more traffic on McKnight Rd.

I don't understand why they're building this, either. It's just going to be another shopping center in an area already saturated. And I'm sure it will be cannibalizing businesses already on the strip. But McCandless has their own desire for taxes and their own zoning, so they see it as a win. They are competing with Ross Twp., which has its own desire for taxes and its own zoning, and is a coouple hundred yards south of this new development. In this case, every township is its own island with no cohesive planning between the two.

Are McIntyre Square and Northway in Ross or McCandless? I never could figure that out.

I'm not sure, either. The border is around there somewhere. I always thought that Northway Mall and McIntyre Square were in Ross and that McCandless started above the next intersection, but I could be wrong.

It would be wise for Ross and McCandless as well as Cranberry to form a joint smart growth committee if they don't have one already which would initiate input and ideas for future improvements to the McKnight Road corridor as well as create a sense of balance and aesthetic appeal from one community to the next. I believe that these developments are being built without regard to the impact of existing centers and traffic congestion, which is likely to get worse once everything is complete. The area of Hempfield Township where the old Greengate Mall used to be is an excellent example of how smart growth could be implemented, with a new access corridor connecting several shopping complexes in order to alleviate traffic on Route 30 and certain areas zoned specifically for future walking trails and high-density housing developments. Landscaping and monumental features at various entrances to Greengate Centre along Route 30 also add to the aesthetic appeal of the shopping complex, which features a Walmart and close to 50 smaller tenants.
