Comprehensive Plans & Projects
A Strategic Action Plan for the Future
Monroeville Council adopted the Municipal Comprehensive Plan on January 10, 2006. The comprehensive plan provides a strategic direction for the Municipality's future land use patterns and serves as a blueprint for implementation of policies related to development. The document can be accessed below:
The Municipality retained Urban Design Associates to study the Business Route 22 corridor and to recommend improvements to its structure and appearance. A vision for the corridor was developed through a community-oriented public design process. Recommendations from this process were incorporated into the Municipality's Comprehensive Plan.
The purpose of the Monroeville Active Transportation plan is to create ways for residents to get where they need and want to go – safely, conveniently and comfortably – without the use of a motor vehicle.
This plan builds upon the implementation strategies in the “Churchill-Monroeville-Wilkins Multimunicipal Playbook,” the communities’ 2018 Implementable Comprehensive Plan, and those addressed in “Active Allegheny,” the County’s first active transportation plan.
Churchill, Monroeville and Wilkins, three eastern suburbs in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area
have been popular bedroom communities with much to offer.
Great things are happening in these communities, and residents are proud of their municipalities.
As part of this planning process, Guiding Principles were developed to prepare for any upcoming challenges.
