HELLERTOWN, Pa. — A state grant of $230,030 could be used to directly connect the Saucon Rail Trail and the borough’s southern commercial district at Main Street and Polk Valley Road. Hellertown Borough Council approved a resolution requesting the funding from the state's Greenways, Trails and Recreation Program. The plans for Tumminello Park and nearby call for the trail connection and directional signs, sidewalks and a pedestrian-activated crosswalk across Main Street.

HELLERTOWN, Pa. — Former Hellertown Police Chief Robert Shupp, who recently was sentenced to prison time for stealing money from the borough, is lined up to get about $32,000 in pension contributions. The borough’s Police Pension Board on Tuesday discussed that figure — $32,066.21 — which doesn’t include a defined pension benefit or interest accrued during Shupp’s time in the role, and voted to send it to Borough Council for approval subject to further review.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Drive-thru food and car wash options may be going up across from the former Martin Tower site in West Bethlehem. City Council last week endorsed changing the zoning classification of a 4-acre part of an 11-acre parcel at 1401 Eighth Ave. from Mixed Use Commercial to Commercial Shopping Center. The zoning change was approved 5-2, with Councilwomen Hillary Kwiatek and Colleen Laird dissenting.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — It’s only a matter of time before pedestrians are hit by oncoming traffic as is the frequent case of parked cars along Pennsylvania Avenue, residents told City Council last week. The Rev. Bruce Stevenson, who lives along the 1200 Block, told council Wednesday he'd like to see a white line painted on the roadway, similar to intersecting Eaton Avenue to the south. “My wife and I have had three cars hit and totaled,” Stevenson said.
