  Could we ASK the railroad to make one more round of repairs to the High St Bridge to make it safe for use for a year? That would help a little.

  The Hellertown pool is truly a great resource for residents. We watch as other localities neglect or downsize their community pools. We appreciate the efforts by officials and pool staff to maintain this pool in its present form. Thank you

  Andrew, you're just WRONG. I could say it in different ways with 3-4 paragraphs but I won't waste time trying explain again. Your math is bad, your judgement is bad and you avoided my specific questions. I've been called a lot of things but never lazy. The complaints by those of us who actually live here are mostly legitimate. The PTB have been listening and have been making adjustments. We expect more adjustments and , unfortunately, more problems. I genuinely feel sorry for those in the Ravena St area and families with a few kids that are forced to make many trips per day through the area. I try hard to limit mine. I have been using my bicycle when it is practical. If you can look at your map, perhaps you could tell a lazy guy like me how to go downhill all of the time?

  Wilfredo. You're wrong again. Your "participation" doesn't "bother me" . It is your OVER PARTICIPATION that wears thin. It's like being in a conversation where 1 person does all of the talking.

  Not so. Even us Neanderthals can learn. Just keep giving us the same bull over + over + over and we'll get it. After all, we have finally come down from the trees. It just took a while.

  To travel the 4 blocks from ground zero to the entrances to 1-78, Vassis, Wendys or other businesses that were are used to using on a regular basis, you would take which streets? travel how far? take how long? You obviously don't live in the affected area. These streets are nowhere near as passable as they were before this mess.. Some of them are ONE LANE (not 1 lane in each direction). . "Surely it can be avoided" ?? Not if you live at ground zero. It sounds like you are suggesting a 45 minute 4 mile detour to travel 4 blocks. How would a person get from Hess Ave to Rt 78? A map and reality are sometimes different. . It's great that you found a way AROUND the area. We can't do that. Especially those who live between the Saucon Creek and 412 on the North end of town. And this doesn't address the effect it has on local businesses.

  Andrew People who live at "ground zero" have no choice but to use 412. You obviously live at the other end of town and don't realize that. We can't get to Creek Rd without using 412. If the bridges were still open, Creek Rd would be an option , although a very long one. They are closed . We have tractor trailers stuck in alleys and narrow steets. Cars using lawns to turn around. People who only use GPS that are stopped in the middle of the street.
