PennDOT approved the action and is waiting on the City of Pittsburgh to take action. The City of Pittsburgh may take PennDOT to court since PennDOT does not have the legal backing to supercede local zoning laws. Peduto's office is currently pressuring the Mayor's solicitor to take the property to the zoning board.
