neighbourhood, residential neighbourhood, neighbourhood development
One of the most flood-prone neighborhoods in Allegheny County, Shaler Flats (or simply "The Flats") was inundated by Pine Creek as remnants of Hurricane Ivan swept the area in September of 2004. Since then, the Township has been purchasing and demolishing homes here in order to create a floodplain. An earlier (1980s) state plan to build a 10-foot-high flood wall on top of Willow Street never materialized since the projected cost of the wall exceeded the value of all the homes it would have protected.
The neighborhood was one of the early residential developments in the Glenshaw area. It is labeled as the "Thomas W. Shaw Plan" on a 1906 map.
