Modern-day Mt. Lebanon is a community strategically poised to develop meaningful transit oriented development (TOD) over the Port Authority of Allegheny County's Red Line light rail Uptown Platform. This Platform is located in the community's Central Business District known locally as "Uptown". The Municipality owns the air rights.

The Municipality has been studying the feasibility of developing over the Uptown Platform via a Transit Revitalization Improvement District (TRID) Study completed in 2008 and more recently a preliminary engineering study completed in 2012. Anyone interested in these studies, or working with the Municipality to develop the aforementioned air rights may contact either Eric Milliron at or Keith McGill at .

The Municipality of Mt. Lebanon (hereafter "Municipality") is accepting proposals for a
contract to perform certain development consultant services work for the Municipality
related to the development of the air rights located above the Port Authority of
Allegheny County Mt. Lebanon Station. These air rights are owned by the Municipality
and are being considered for a high-density Transit-Oriented-Development (TOO)
project.

South Hills Transit Revitalization Investment District Planning Study Final Report
Act 238 of 2004, Pennsylvania’s Transportation Revitalization Investment District (TRID) Act provided funding that enables municipalities to study the best ways of creating housing and retail development near public transit lines. Through a partnership with Allegheny County Department of Economic Development (ACED) and the Port Authority of Allegheny County, Mt. Lebanon and Dormont were the first communities in the state to submit a successful multimunicipal application. Each community received a $75,000 grant and provided a $25,000 match. The grant funds were provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.

The South Hills Revitalization Investment District Planning Study investigates potential development opportunities in the vicinity of the Potomac and Dormont Junction LRT stations and the Mt. Lebanon LRT station. Mt. Lebanon and Dormont have a mutual interest in promoting housing and other well-planned development in close proximity to the T stations in order to expand their tax bases, invigorate the business districts and encourage greater use of public transit.

The purpose of the report is to present and describe existing conditions, primarily within a one-half mile radius around each of the three stations. The analysis includes land use, population, employment and infrastructure. Planned improvements to infrastructure and land developments are also presented. Finally, an assessment of properties potentially available for development is presented.
