Dormont police are asking drivers to remember that parking is not allowed on Route 19 during rush hour.
Dormont police are again warning drivers not to park on West Liberty Avenue during rush hour, after seeing an increase in the number of citations issued for the offense in the past few weeks. "It seems to be happening more often again, and when people do that it creates a major traffic problem," said Dormont police Sgt. James Burke. Burke said the police have had a number of vehicles towed from West Liberty because they were parked on the street during rush hour. Burke said the quickest way to report illegally parked cars is to call 911 and tell the responder it is not an emergency. The responder will then contact a member of the police department to address the issue, he said.

A new tenant will require more spaces at the Route 19 complex.
Additional parking is in the works for Norman Centre. During a public hearing Monday, Upper St. Clair commissioners heard plans for revisions to the parking area at the Route 19 shopping-office complex, which splits its property between the township and Bethel Park. Robert Sapsara, vice president of Norman Centre management company Crossgates Inc., said the lease of longtime tenant Pearl Vision is expiring. A new restaurant tenant will occupy that space, and the change in use requires 22 additional parking spaces, according to his report to the township planning commission in June.
