Mentor Hits Pause on New Car Washes for Six Months Over Traffic Fears
Mentor City Council approved a six-month pause on new car wash applications Tuesday night, temporarily barring the city from accepting or processing zoning, occupancy, special-use and building permit applications for new car washes. The move gives officials time to study traffic backups, vehicle queues and whether the concentration of car washes around town is outpacing what current zoning rules can handle.

Second Daily Train Service To Begin Next Month
A second daily Pennsylvanian passenger train service will officially begin operations on November 18th, offering expanded travel options between Pittsburgh and New York City via Harrisburg. Amtrak and elected officials gathered at the Johnstown train station yesterday morning to announce the landmark expansion, which marks the first major increase in passenger rail service through central Pennsylvania in decades. Previously, riders in central Pennsylvania only had access to one eastbound and one westbound train each day. The new service will double that capacity, bringing the total to four daily trains passing through the region. Westbound trains will depart Altoona daily at 12:24 p.m. and 7:05 p.m., reaching Pittsburgh in approximately two hours and 50 minutes. For eastbound travel, trains leave Altoona at 9:43 a.m. and 3:33 p.m. daily, arriving in Harrisburg about two hours and 50 minutes later. Tickets available for purchase on Amtrak’s Official Website.

Construction creates traffic issues ahead of Penguins home games
Drivers heading to Pittsburgh Penguins games at PPG Paints Arena could encounter heavier than usual traffic as construction continues on Duquesne University's planned health sciences complex along Forbes Avenue and Pittsburgh Regional Transit's University Line bus rapid transit project through uptown — both located along key routes leading into downtown and the arena district. The work is taking place near the intersection of Forbes and Fifth avenues, one of the busiest approaches into uptown and downtown Pittsburgh, according to a community announcement. With thousands of fans expected to travel through the area on game nights, motorists may want to allow extra time as they navigate construction zones near the arena. The University Line project is a major bus rapid transit investment connecting downtown, uptown, Oakland and other east end neighborhoods. Construction along Forbes and Fifth avenues has included roadway work, utility upgrades, paving operations, lane restrictions and temporary traffic pattern changes. With work occurring near Duquesne University's campus and the approaches to PPG Paints Arena, drivers heading to Penguins games may experience additional congestion, particularly during peak travel periods before puck drop. Duquesne is moving forward with a new 80,000-square-foot facility for its John G. Rangos, Sr. School of Health
