We heard your concerns and are working hard to make our community as safe as possible. Our second fixed solar radar sign has been installed and is now active on Lindberg Avenue in front of the park. We focused on areas known for traffic issues and where pedestrian foot traffic was high. The sign has a bright LED display and charges via a solar panel. Last week we installed one on Lehigh Avenue in front of the park. We would like to put more of these up in our township on roadways that need them.

At 0444 this morning ESFD and Western Salisbury Volunteer Fire Company dispatched to Riverside drive for a truck fire. PD arrived on scene and advised of a work...ing fire.

Thus far in 2020 thirty nine people have been killed on the side of a roadway while trying to help other people in need. These 39 people are mothers, fathers, sons and daughters who are first responders and tow truck drivers. When you see emergency lights, slow down and when safe move over into a lane further away. Tomorrow is National Move Over Day. Please drive safely and have a safe weekend.

UPDATE: Traffic is accessing S. Pike / S. 4th but being diverted halfway down the hill onto Normandy Street. Those who want to travel east on Emmaus Avenue should take East Rock Road. Those traveling west on Emmaus Ave should take Pike Ave to Normandy St. Very serious motorcycle vs automobile crash on South 4 Street in Allentown City near West Mountain Road, just north (downhill) of the police station. South Pike Avenue / South 4th Street is CLOSED in both directions. Utilize East Rock Road and avoid this area if possible. Major rush hour delays are expected.
