Residents raise recycling, zoning and recreation concerns at Glassport council meeting
Summary
During public comment, residents asked for permission for a shared dumpster for three homes, requested progress on a basketball court, sought an update on zoning enforcement at 1010 Vermont and raised missed recycling pickup and an abandoned vehicle complaint.
Several residents used the public-comment portion of the Nov. 19 meeting to raise neighborhood concerns. Michael Thomas asked the council if he could place a dumpster to serve three adjacent single-family houses; Council President Anthony Colecchi responded that borough ordinance requires borough garbage pickup for single-family dwellings.
Bob March asked, "Where are we at with looking into putting a basket ball court somewhere in the borough?" Colecchi said the borough is still evaluating a few properties. Mike Tamok asked for an update on 1010 Vermont; Colecchi said the zoning officer issued a 30-day letter that expires Nov. 22 and that legal action will follow if the issue is not resolved. Cynthia Dean complained about missed garbage pickup at 1031 Indiana Ave. and reported an abandoned vehicle with an expired inspection sticker behind the property; she also said the bags at her yard were recyclables and asked for more time to address the matter because of health issues.
Council did not make immediate binding changes in response to these comments but recorded them on the public record and noted next steps for zoning enforcement related to 1010 Vermont.
