Glassport announces holiday parade, small donations and hears resident concerns about trash, abandoned vehicle and zoning
Summary
Council announced the Nov. 30 Christmas parade and approved $100 donations to youth bowling and a boys basketball team; public commenters raised concerns about trash pickup, recyclables, an abandoned vehicle and enforcement at 1010 Vermont.
At its Nov. 19 meeting, Glassport Borough Council confirmed plans for the annual Christmas Parade on Saturday, Nov. 30, beginning at 6:00 p.m. and followed by a lighting; Santa will appear for children at the event.
Council approved two $100 donations on motions that passed 6–0 (one absent): one to Glassport Lanes for youth bowling and one to the South Allegheny Boys Basketball team. Council also invited volunteers to join the Glassport Development Corp., which is meeting monthly to support borough events.
During public comment, Michael Thomas asked whether he could place a dumpster between three single‑family houses he owns; Anthony Colecchi responded that borough ordinance requires borough garbage pickup for single‑family dwellings. Bob March asked about efforts to place a basketball court in the borough; council said several properties are being evaluated. Mike Tamok asked for an update on 1010 Vermont; Colecchi said a 30‑day letter had been issued and that legal action will follow if the property is not brought into compliance after that period expires.
Cynthia Dean described missed garbage pickup at 1031 Indiana Avenue and an abandoned vehicle with an expired inspection sticker behind that property. Dean said some bags in her yard were recyclables and asked for more time to address the situation because of health issues, noting she is trying to avoid placing recyclables in regular trash.
Council adjourned following public comment.
