Isn't that new apartment building at McCandless going be built on Berlin Way? I think those Mews townhomes across from Shop n Save are also on top of Berlin Way.

It is the blocked where the apartments by McCandless might soon be, afaik nothing's confirmed there. Either way, the fence has been blocking the street for at least ~7 years and it's bull shit.

The Mews on Butler are on both side of Berlin Way and the street is still open there.

The Allegheny county GIS viewer shows Berlin Way as going through private property owned by "WAREHOUSE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY". I totally don't know the laws involved though. There could be an uninforced private easement or some such mumbo jumbo.
