A council member moved to remove the Jameson Lane truck restriction ordinance from the table so council could act on it. After the item was brought forward, a motion to approve the ordinance passed on roll call; a presiding officer announced, “The ayes have it.” No further conditions or amendments were recorded during the meeting.

Council then removed the zoning text amendment ordinance from the table. The ordinance was described in the agenda packet as amending various sections of the Monroeville zoning ordinance; the meeting transcript identifies the ordinance in the packet as “ordinance number 27 79, the Monroeville zoning ordinance to provide for text amendments to various sections of said ordinance.” Council moved to approve the text amendments, and the motion carried on a roll-call vote; again, the presiding officer announced, “The ayes have it.”

There was no substantive public debate recorded on either ordinance during the meeting. Both measures passed by roll call following the motions to remove each item from the table and vote.

What’s next: The ordinances will be effective according to the borough’s code for newly adopted ordinances; staff will incorporate the zoning text amendments into the official zoning code and publish the adopted ordinances as required by municipal procedure.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Municipality of Monroeville Regular Council Meeting - June 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council voted to bring two previously tabled ordinances back before it and approved a truck-restriction ordinance for Jameson Lane and text amendments to the borough zoning ordinance (referred to in the meeting as ordinance number 27 79).","taxTitle","Monroeville, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania","taxId",68520,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6201453,"Residents urge bold reimagining of Monroeville Mall; community meeting being planned",230,834000,1064000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3793934-1bca25825fd0d1b390744cf0e55a97f3&start=834&end=1064","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3793934-1bca25825fd0d1b390744cf0e55a97f3/thumbnail_834000.jpg","/articles/6201453/Monroeville/Allegheny-County/Pennsylvania/Residents-urge-bold-reimagining-of-Monroeville-Mall-community-meeting-being-planned","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6201453-6d50769e40cf5fccfaa4df3d63dc2e87/orig.mp4?Expires=1775871135&Signature=lyq~FhkMgNR7trJuyVzOe~3-sbvDx4neSmGYJ9jNx0k5-0gPK6JqCl~mIXHPJ0mprOEPGhC2~O78amEFeo-GZqS6LfsPFaV6ZKoJR79rT5SWVLCO1KEy3fKSjYpTBfox9zAyJO90XJu9xRTabQ2f-gFUDKckouFHyrYfQdLFzV1ORiykVaR0i60W1huiC3iCF~IRCGWC3y0hmxV71NDZ7PcLRFI225d8Pg6PA7~ZecxvaaTdhT16bI8BJ-~WY~cqjdXhvUcQLelstF3j~om4ZST3zHfELmhIDDLURJfOyHcnEBthZkpffDMH4SJrLWN9JcL-GjNfCN6baquCiZEATA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During public comment at Tuesday’s Monroeville Borough Council meeting, two residents urged the borough to pursue an ambitious, community-driven reimagining of Monroeville Mall, calling for transit-oriented, mixed-use development and broad public engagement.

Alyssa Beck of Trotwood Drive read a letter from James Hollister of EvolveEA (Evolve Environmental Architecture) that urged the borough to transform the mall into a walkable, mixed-use district. “The opportunity before us is not simply to repave the past. It is to reimagine and reweave this space into the very fabric of our borough,” the letter said, urging “sustainable transit-oriented development” and calling for the borough to lead with “ambition and urgency.” Beck told council a representative from EvolveEA would attend a forthcoming community meeting.

Diana Woodhall, who said she and Beck had met with state representative Brandon Markosek, told council she planned to submit materials and photographs documenting recent flooding and said redevelopment of the mall could have impacts “miles away in both directions, especially those downstream.” She asked council and planning staff to consider stormwater and traffic infrastructure implications during planning. Woodhall also said she would submit documents and letters from prior years addressing environmental and traffic concerns.

Council members and staff responded that a community meeting is being organized for June or July; Beck said the Sustainable Monroeville Facebook page will carry the meeting announcement. The borough said representatives from the mall’s owner (referred to in public remarks as “Cyprus Equities”) and other stakeholders may attend; Beck said EvolveEA is a small Pittsburgh-based firm of about 20 staff.

Council did not take any formal land-use action at the meeting; public comment was informational. Staff and residents emphasized that any redevelopment planning should account for stormwater impacts, traffic infrastructure and community engagement.

What’s next: a community meeting is being scheduled in June or July; staff and residents said they will announce the date on social media and coordinate participation with property owners and the planning commission.","Speakers at public comment called for transit-oriented, mixed-use redevelopment of Monroeville Mall and said a planning firm, EvolveEA, may soon engage the borough and residents in a community-led design process.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6201458,"Monroeville Council approves 2025 road paving program bids totaling about $2.2 million",78,226000,304000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3793934-1bca25825fd0d1b390744cf0e55a97f3&start=226&end=304","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3793934-1bca25825fd0d1b390744cf0e55a97f3/thumbnail_226000.jpg","/articles/6201458/Monroeville/Allegheny-County/Pennsylvania/Monroeville-Council-approves-2025-road-paving-program-bids-totaling-about-22-million","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6201458-540c86df38cb6bf686bf398c6c66fe22/orig.mp4?Expires=1775871135&Signature=eq8JwIzxageKqW-i3a5OqNoe5yrtZ14lKdCBbuLekf-MMJCecdKnpI43sGfD~1jDwpRmvtO7fxhzYLblukrxVSZjql53IU3Ypf-6GoBza9nYKyEryzUD2OY-rV5l2LzsohrCLq1p0le5wJ8P2fPZF4h7VCIAVvihLK4VUsBd2bWRcXqlnMivuUkXH8sSPVKSEItG4AiPdcSj6S82ho61JR7XsUaZ72omB7wgeSBmwvfqVIFAm2zCHOy7bwSQxVS9qdeq9FZJ6tpcmbC4SY1wSvBoENQhK2n3l56qe1fz5iOZdEWJsbqBGzHEkArfMUoYVjzkWT1nPHMx~kYa4LaK3g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Monroeville Borough Council on Tuesday approved three bids for the borough’s 2025 road paving program, a multi-component package that officials said will preserve roughly 14–15 miles of roads and cost about $2.2–$2.3 million.

The program, presented to council by staff, includes an in-house crack-sealing component of about 18 miles; outsourced mill-and-overlay repaving (about 4.42 miles); fog seal work on higher-condition roads; and seal coating on roads rated in the mid-range by the borough’s PASER condition scale. “Approximately a little over $2,000,000 is in the program, 2.2, 2,300,000.0,” a staff presenter said during the meeting.

The paving presentation described the mill-and-overlay work as milling the top coat, performing base repairs and overlaying approximately 3 inches of new asphalt. Fog seal was presented as a preservation treatment for roads with high PASER ratings (closer to 9–10), while seal coating was described as preventive maintenance for roads with PASER ratings around four and five. Staff noted the mill-and-overlay cost is about three times the cost of seal coating on a per-mile basis.

Council heard that about $398,000 was budgeted for the seal-coating portion and roughly $1.3 million for the 4.42 miles of milling and overlay; staff said roughly $300,000 remained between total bid amounts and initial estimates and that they were working with the manager to identify uses for that balance, possibly additional path paving or finishing out neighborhoods where crews would already be mobilized.

Councilmembers asked clarifying questions about per-mile costs and how the borough schedules associated sign and drainage prep work; staff said the sign department and road crews perform pavement- and drainage-related prep ahead of resurfacing.

A motion to accept the three paving bids carried on a council roll call; a mayor or presiding officer announced, “The ayes have it.”

The borough packet includes a municipal pavement infrastructure report dated April 1 and presentation slides that staff said are available online; staff said they would make sure the full report is posted if it was not already.

What’s next: staff will finalize allocations within the approved 2025 paving program and notify council if the roughly $300,000 difference between bids and estimates is applied to additional paths, parking lots or neighborhood paving that falls within the program’s scope.","Council approved three bids for the 2025 road program covering milling/overlay, fog seal and seal coat work — about 4.42 miles of milling/overlay, roughly 10 miles of seal coating and an overall program cost of approximately $2.2–$2.3 million.","actionData","errors"]
