The teen died at 6:18 a.m. Friday at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest, according to Lehigh County Coroner Dan Buglio. His family “remained by his bedside at the hospital,” Buglio said.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. — As a project to repair one bridge in Allentown’s Lehigh Parkway inches closer toward its start, state officials are working to rebuild another just down the road. Allentown City Council on Wednesday night approved a $2.15 million state-funded contract for H & P Construction to fix Bogert’s Bridge, the oldest in Lehigh County. Less than 10 minutes after that vote, members learned details about the state Transportation Department’s $2.8 million project on Fish Hatchery Road.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. — A woman accused of planting a noose on her own desk in Allentown City Hall again waived her right to a hearing on charges against her. LaTarsha Brown was due to appear Tuesday in Lehigh County Court, but instead waived her formal arraignment. Brown is charged with making false reports and tampering with or fabricating evidence. Brown reported finding a noose Jan. 10 on her desk in City Hall, where she works for Allentown’s Department of Community and Economic Development.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Two Allentown nonprofits want to serve meals to all who visit their community centers, but the city's zoning ordinance only allows them to feed senior citizens. The Lehigh Conference of Churches and RCI Village Properties — an arm of Ripple Community Inc. — say the “unduly restrictive” regulation forces them to turn away many hungry people because they’re not old enough.
