Glen Osborne Borough incorporated in 1883 is conveniently located 12 miles north-west of Pittsburgh which can be reached by car within a half an hour. It is a community of 200 homes and 600 citizens, and is a part of the Quaker Valley School District www.qvsd.org . We border the community of Sewickley which offers boutique shopping and excellent dining all within walking distance. Our secure community is a safe haven for children allowing them the freedom of walking or biking to visit friends or attend school and sporting events. We hope you find our website interesting and informative, please visit it often as updates will be frequent.
Glen Osborne Street Signs
New street signs have been placed along Beaver Road. The signs were designed by a local signmaker, Jeff Lang of OldLangSigns. The street names now follow PennDot regulations and the road names are now all spelled correctly. The signs were installed by John Wick. The design originated from the existing "Welcome to Glen Osborne" sign. New side street signs will be installed next year.
Mary Roberts Rinehart Park (MRR)
We at the MaryRobertsRinehart NaturePark have all kinds of wonderful things planned. Recently we had a small fundraiser and exceeded a $3000. match we received from the Sewickley Valley Community Fund. We raised $3800. and checks are still arriving. Plans are underway for a 4 season Event schedule that will be open to all...and lots of plans for expanding the outdoor educational elements of the Park. Then there's more......we'll be planting about 50 flowering native saplings this Fall on the far back hillside near our newly constructed maintenance shed...Stop down!
Riverfront Development
A self storage facility is being located adjacent to the Ohio River beyond the railroad tracks.
New Sewage Facilities & Paving Beaver Road
Glen Osborne, Sewickley and Aleppo have agreed to update sewer service in the borough, with Aleppo's sewage coming through a new line down Glen Mitchell Road in Glen Osborne to be treated in Sewickley. Among other things, this will require work on Glen Mitchell Road and construction of a new pump station on the other side of the railroad tracks to replace the existing pump station (which we call Pump Station #1) located there. As a part of the project the Sewickley Water Authority will connect a number of homes along Beaver Rd to its newer water line and Beaver Road will be repaved when construction is completed. All work is expected to be finished by the fall of 2012.
