The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met Feb. 10 and approved the minutes from its Jan. 6 meeting. An employee announced that a new administrative assistant has been hired; the new administrative assistant previously served as sustainability coordinator for Ross Township, where she led Solarize Ross, a community garden, reduced landfill trash by 32% through increased recycling, and worked on MS4 stormwater compliance. The council reviewed land development plans for new Robert Morris University student housing near the Sewall Center and a Continental Senior Living facility on Broadhead Road. An employee raised traffic concerns near the senior facility, noting the road is state-maintained and a traffic study will be conducted. Under old business, an employee reported that the comprehensive plan implementation team meets every other month and has developed priorities including a University Boulevard sidewalk plan, development of the former Super K-Mart site off Montour Road (where Chevron has been non-responsive), a plan for Moon Clinton Road, and extension of the Montour trail behind Brothers Grimm. An employee said a $200 grant was awarded for design and construction of a riverfront park near the Sewickley Bridge, with Moon as a partner; an additional TAP grant for trail construction is being held up by PennDOT until the township finalizes a safe-routes-to-school grant. Moon was recently awarded a $250,000 DCNR grant to revitalize play equipment in Moon Park. The council finalized electronics recycling dates: April 30, June 4, Aug. 6 and Oct. 1, with collection from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and a limit of one television per vehicle. The flyer will be included in the second-quarter utility bill. Earth Day on April 24 will have a “Flower Power” theme; the council will hand out Baptisia Australis plants and is working with the administrative assistant on a stormwater runoff demonstration. The Boggs School Road cleanup is set for April 9 at 8 a.m. The council voted to ask the township to pay for a business membership in the Montour Run Watershed Association.
