NOTICE
2022 Scott Township Roadway Improvement Program

Please read this alert carefully so you will know what to expect. Then if you have questions call the Municipal Engineer at 412-264-4400 or the Scott Township Director of Public Services at 412-276-5300. Our contractor, Youngblood Paving Inc., will be roto milling and resurfacing the streets listed below.
The following roads will be milled and resurfaced between Early through Late-October 2022.

Street                         From                    To                              Length   Scope of Work
Brookfield Rd          Rockhill Rd         Rockfield Rd            1,050′     Mill and Pave
Spring Valley Rd     Elmbrook Ln      Brookfield Rd          310′         Mill and Pave
Woodcliff Circle      Elmbrook Ln      Spring Valley Rd     1,080′     Mill and Pave
Great Oak Dr           House # 1418      Township Line         1,065′    Mill and Pave
Greenbriar Dr         Greentree Rd      Greentree Rd            2,025′    Mill and Pave
Shady Knoll Dr       Wise Rd               Spreading Oak Dr    565′        Mill and Pave
Borland Rd              House #1800      Vanadium Rd           500′       Mill and Pave

Weather permitting the contractor will spend four days milling asphalt from the streets listed above. Roto milling will only take a few hours to complete. However, at least one traffic lane on affected streets will be closed to vehicular traffic until the roto milling process is completed. The asphalt material removed during roto milling will be swept from the roadway surface and the road will be reopened to vehicular traffic.

After roto milling, the road surfaces will be rough, and some areas will require repairs to the road base before a binder or wearing coat of asphalt can be applied. Care will be taken to apply temporary asphalt lifts in front of some driveways to allow vehicles to enter without scraping. Temporary asphalt will also be placed around manholes and utility boxes in the street. Weather permitting the binder or wearing course will be applied to the asphalt surface a few days after the end of the roto milling process. During this process, the affected traffic lane of the roadways will be closed to vehicular traffic for several hours.

The contractor’s activities will not interfere with regularly scheduled trash pickup. The contractor will be responsible for restoring any damage done along the township right-of-way during the paving process. Shortly after the completion of paving, lane lines (if required) and stop bars (if required) will be reapplied to the asphalt surface of the roadway.

For those who have followed along with various polls, discussions, and meetings regarding the splash pad being installed at the Scott Pool, we’d like to present to you the color rendering prepared for the Township so you may see what’s in the works. This area will be installed at the pool in the near future!

In order to better serve the members of our community, both residents and businesses, we’ve put together a business registry for all businesses in the Township. If you’d like to see the businesses in the community, or perhaps if you’d like to verify your business is listed, please visit the Scott Township Business Registry page!

As many know, Pennsylvania is going through a round of redistricting for the House and Senate legislative districts. Recent proposals have pushed Scott Township in with wards from the City of Pittsburgh for House redistricting, something our Board of Commissioners is opposed to for various reasons. The following is a letter prepared by the Scott Township Board of Commissioners to the Legislative Reapportionment Commission:

The Township of Scott Board of Commissioners disagree with the proposed redistricting map with regards to Scott Township. The proposal is to merge Scott Township with mostly the City of Pittsburgh wards.

Because of the differences between our community and city wards, it would be very difficult for the representative to take into consideration the differing interests in both areas. Some of the differences include but are not limited to:

1. Paid Fire Departments vs. Volunteer Fire Departments
2. Different sewer systems – Combined vs. Separate
3. Non-Distressed Pensions vs. Distressed Pensions
4. Differing Public Safety issues between City and Suburban Communities
5. Potentially higher taxation in the city vs. the Township

As a result of these differences, Scott Township’s interests will be better served if combined with other suburban communities.

Therefore, we are requesting that the redistricting commission revisit placing Scott with majority of wards in the City of Pittsburgh.

Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,
Stacey Altman, Board President Thomas Castello, Esq., Commissioner
Nick Seibel, Board Vice-President Michelle Sedlak, Commissioner
Eileen Meyers, Commissioner Kathy Gazda, Commissioner
Brandon Edwards, Commissioner Angela Wateska, Commissioner
Samuel Dalfonso, Esq. Commissioner

Please don’t forget to make use of the Safe Exchange Zone located at the municipal building.  The Safe Exchange Zone was added to assist residents with everything from internet purchases to custody exchanges.  The municipal building parking lot is under 24 hour surveillance by video camera and enables the police department to review any issues that may arise in the lot.  The additional safety it brings to our residents is a definite plus for the community, as anyone intending to misbehave should have second thoughts knowing they are on video and can be identified.
