"At a time when many commuters are griping about cuts in public transit, residents of one of Pittsburgh's newest neighborhoods say they don't want bus service coming through their part of town...Those against the Summerset line say they don't want buses turning into the development but don't oppose buses stopping at or near the entrance on Forward Avenue. Besides noise and fumes, they say they fear their streets will become a park-and-ride lot and that other areas of the city need the service more."
