The north central area of Washington County has experienced some of the fastest traffic growth in the region, creating congestion and mobility issues along key corridors in recent years. These corridors include I-79, US-19, and SR-1009 (Washington Pike/ Morganza Road). Currently, traffic backs up onto I-79 at the Canonsburg and Southpointe exits; many intersections along US 19 and SR 1009 are also experiencing congestion during peak hours. In recent years, the growth of large business park developments, such as Southpointe I and II, along with substantial infill development of new single family residential, commercial, and industrial developments, are placing stress upon the existing transportation system. In addition, the anticipated completion of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission’s Southern Beltway project to I-79 and Morganza Road could bring even more traffic to the already congested arterials and connector roadways in the area. Based on forecasted growth, traffic in the study area is projected to increase 30% over the next 20 years. This trend is expected to continue as large parcels of infill development continue to be developed in the I-79/US 19 Corridor Targeted Area of Investment (Wash. Co. Comprehensive Plan 2005). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the study corridors and intersections within the study area to identify short, medium, and long-term multimodal improvements that satisfy the goals and objectives of the Study. Building on previous planning work done in the area, Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) and its technical consultant team evaluated selected corridors and intersections to identify near-, short-, medium-, and long-term improvements to alleviate congestion in Northern Washington County. The team included Michael Baker International, Lochner Engineering, Moore Design Associates, along with a steering committee comprised of local municipalities, Washington County, and PennDOT. 1.2 Study Area This corridor-based, small area transportation plan services the area of north central Washington County, in the Townships of Cecil, Chartiers, Mount Pleasant, North Strabane and Peters as well as Canonsburg and Houston Boroughs. The study analyzes traffic flow characteristics, operations, safety, mobility and accessibility, as well as existing and future deficiencies within the study area. This area is identified in the Washington County Comprehensive plan as the I- 79/US 19 Corridor Targeted Area for Investment transitioning into the Rural Recourse Area. 1.3 Goals and Objectives The Northern Washington County Transportation Study examines existing and future transportation conditions to provide short-term,

  • Becoming the “Burb of the 'Burgh”: Deindustrialization and Community
    Becoming the “Burb of the ‘Burgh”: Deindustrialization and Community Identity in Steubenville, Ohio* In the spring of 1998, early morning commuters along Route 22, a four-lane highway running west from Pittsburgh, woke to find a new billboard touting “Pittsburgh’s New Suburb ... in Ohio.” 1 The billboard was part of an advertising campaign spearheaded by Alliance 2000, a progrowth coalition of local officials and business leaders formed in 1996 to take advantage of new transportation links extending across the Pennsylvania border through the narrow West Virginia Panhandle to eastern Ohio.2 “It accomplished what we needed to do,” explained Alliance member Gary Dufour. Pennsylvania residents and business leaders “began to think, ‘Oh yeah, it isn’t that far.’”3 Indeed, by the time the first billboard went up announcing the newest “Burb of the ‘Burgh,” metropolitan growth had already reached the community, with a new upscale residential project built by a Pittsburgh developer and a number of tenants in a new industrial park along the highway.4 Suburban historians from Sam Bass Warner to Owen Gutfreund have extensively documented the expansion of urban services to the metropolitan periphery in the wake of new transportation links.5 While the story of Pittsburgh’s new suburb may sound like just another * Do not cite without permission of author.
