ADOPTED THIS /U /2 - A.D. 1973 ATTEST: /- , 1 I 1 INTRODUCT I ON The Vanderbilt, Pennsylvania Comprehensive Plan provides overal I guidance for the future physical 1 development of the Borough through its statement of objectives, policies and recommendations con- cerning the Borough's future environment and the characteristics of activities and systems locat- ing and functioning within this environment. An inventory and assessment of existing Borough con- ditions provide the basis for this Plan's sugges- tions for the Borough's future. This analysis of existing conditions and regional planning indluences also provided the basis for the Plan's major positions on Borough land use activities, transportation systems, and community service cons i de rat ions . The Plan is guided by the following purposes: Protection of sound and desi rab le Borough character1 sti cs. The encouragement of additional Borough growth types which are compatible with exist- ing growth, are envi ronmenta I ly sound, 'and servh to improve the Borough's overal I eco- nomic, physical, or aesthetic condition. The provision of an objective basis to evalu- ate alternative development proposals f r the Borough's neighborhoods. The provision of a legal basis for deve OP- rnent control in response to legislative man- dates contained in the Pennsylvania Mun ci - palities Planning Code (Act 247). The establishment of an effective wide to I assist the Borough in experiencing and accom- modat i ng change.

Through the regional planning process, communities within the Connel lsvi I le Area Region learned of area-wide problems and opportunities, and po?ential approaches and solutions to them. Further, and perhaps more important the regional program produced an awareness of an overall physical framework for growth and development within neighboring communities in the Region. It is hoped that this regional awareness will produce a Borough Comprehensive Plan which is not only more responsive to Vanderbilt's unique local needs, but also in di rect conformance with the needs of the tota I region and developmental frameworks proposed for the Borough's adjacent communities. 2 REG IONAL BAS I S Analyses and recommendat'ions produced by the Connel lsvi I le Area Regional Planning Program provide significant indications of the general future character of Vanderbi It Borough. The following summarizes major elements and find- ings of the regional planning studies as they relate to Vanderbilt Borough and the context of its Plan. These physiographic, developmen- tal, socio-economic, and regional plan influ- ences provide the essentia I f ramework for the positions that will be established in the Borough?s Comprehensive Plan and help maintain the relevance of the Vanderbi It Plan to overal I regional goals and guidelines established during the Connel lsvi 1 le Area Planning Program. Physiographic Influences The topographic drainage and soil characteristics of Vanderbi It's site have provided the major determinants as to the type of development that has occurred within the Borough. These natural influences will continue to exert dominant forces upon the characteristics of future development. The Borough is situated in the Dickerson Run Val ley, with major past growth occupying the flatter land near the floor of the valley and the gentler slopes to the east and the west of the stream's course. The Borough and the neighboring communities of Dickerson Run and Liberty all lie within the Dickerson Run watershed, with runoff in this drainage area carried by Dickerson Run and its tributary streams through the Borough and into the Youghiogheny River at a point just north of Vanderbilt's site. The location of the Ebrough and its adjacent developed areas within one watershed is important in terms of the provision of future sanitary sewerage service. The economic considerations related to pumping sewage in sewage service areas containing more than one watershed, and the basic cost advantages of being able to supply sewage service on a gravity flow basis in a unified drainage area make the Borough's situation a fortunate oneo 3 The soil associations also provide important Yanderbilt presently relies upon Pennsylvania f i nd i ngs re I ated to san i tary sewage servi ce.

    Memorandum U.S. Department of Transportation Office of the Secretary Of Transportation Office of Inspector General Subject: ACTION: Report on Baseline Reviews of Date: February 4, 2000 Four Highway/Transit Mega Projects TR-2000-043 From: Alexis M. Stefani Reply to JA-30 Attn of: Assistant Inspector General for Auditing To: Federal Highway Administrator Federal Transit Administrator This report provides the results of our baseline reviews of four projects identified as “mega” projects. Mega projects are those projects estimated to cost over $1 billion or having congressional interest. The specific objective of this review was to provide information on the current status, estimated cost, funding sources, and completion schedule, as well as to identify outstanding issues that may affect each project. Our baseline reviews are also intended to enable us to perform more timely audits of those projects experiencing cost, financing, or scheduling problems. The four projects reviewed were: • Miami (Florida) East-West Multimodal Corridor Project; • Gowanus (New York) Expressway Project; • California State Route 210 Project (formerly State Route 30); and • Monongahela/Fayette (Mon/Fayette) Expressway Project in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. RESULTS-IN-BRIEF Our review disclosed that sufficient funding to complete three of the four projects has not been identified. The planned $1.5 billion transit line from the Palmetto Expressway to the Port of Miami (the major component of the Miami Multimodal Corridor project) has been placed on hold. The $2.5 billion Mon/Fayette Expressway from Morgantown, West Virginia, to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is being built in usable segments as funds become available. The Gowanus Expressway project in New York, which includes a viaduct from 6th Avenue and 2 65th Street to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, is in its early stages of design.

Terms used in this Supplement have the same meaning as in the Official Statement unless specifically otherwise defined herein. This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Official Statement in its entirety. 1. On page 28 of the Official Statement under the caption “CERTAIN RISK FACTORS—United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania” a new paragraph is added at the end of the subsection. The inserted paragraph reads as follows: “On January 27, 2020, the United States Supreme Court denied the Trucking Plaintiffs’ petition for a writ of certiorari asking the Supreme Court to review the decision of the Third Circuit. Owner Operator Independent Drivers Association, Inc. et al. v. Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission et al., cert. denied (U.S. Jan. 27, 2020) (No. 19- 762). This denial by the Supreme Court means the Court has decided not to hear the case, which is favorable to the Commission in that it leaves undisturbed the favorable decision of the Third Circuit. The Supreme Court rules permit a party who has been so denied to file a petition for a rehearing of such denial, to be filed within 25 days after the date of the order of denial; but the grounds for such a petition for rehearing are limited to intervening circumstances of a substantial or controlling effect or to other substantial grounds not previously presented.” 2.
