ALLENTOWN, Pa. — The race for Allentown mayor could go the distance. Two-term Councilman Ed Zucal is looking to earn the Democratic Party’s nomination over incumbent Mayor Matt Tuerk in the May 20 primary. But Zucal could end up on the ballot in November even if he fails with his bid this month, as he’s actively seeking Republican write-in votes. Zucal in the final weeks of his primary challenge is sending out mailers criticizing the mayor.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. — A newly resurfaced basketball court at “one of the best parks in the Lehigh Valley” welcomed dozens of kids this week for its grand reopening. More than $100,000 in upgrades were poured into Bucky Boyle Park in what Mayor Matt Tuerk said was just the “first phase” of a larger revamp. That money, from the city and Trexler Trust, paid for refreshed basketball courts, LED lighting that will let people play longer, benches and a new water fountain to refill water bottles.
