Lehigh Valley Riders Pin Hopes On Democrats After Years Of LANTA Cuts

Bradley Snyder rides LANTA buses to get to work, to go shopping, and to visit his daughter — the kind of daily reliance that has made him watch closely as Pennsylvania's public transit agencies absorbed cut after cut over the past several years. Now, with Democrats holding control of state government following the recent elections, riders and advocates across the Lehigh Valley are asking whether Harrisburg will finally deliver the long-term funding fix transit agencies have needed since the state's last major transportation funding overhaul in 2013.

Easton Panel Rejects Bid to Raze 1946 Bus Terminal for 74-Foot Apartment Tower

Easton's Historic District Commission unanimously rejected a developer's plan to demolish the former Easton Bus Terminal on Bushkill Street and replace it with a six-story apartment building, following more than an hour of public comment. The vote included one abstention, and it deals a setback to developer Kevin Serfass, who wanted to tear down the 1946-era terminal building at 102 Bushkill St. to make way for a 74-foot residential project.

Philly fixed a melted interstate in 12 days. Why does everything else take so long?

On an early Sunday morning in June 2023, a tanker truck filled with gasoline skidded on an exit ramp, tumbled over, and burst into flames just below one of the nation’s busiest interstates. The inferno that followed immediately severed miles of the East Coast’s most important artery, choking off a route used by countless cars and trucks.

New Schuylkill River swing bridge debuts today

The swing bridge over the Schuylkill River opens for business on Friday. Why it matters: The pedestrian walkway — officially dubbed Schuylkill Crossing — fills a gap along the Schuylkill River Trail to unite South and Southwest Philly. The big picture: It's the latest and splashiest addition to the city's trail network since the nearby Christian to Crescent Trail Connector went online last year. State of play: The $28-million rehabilitation project converts the long-defunct railroad bridge into a pedestrian walkway for the first time. The bridge is 225 feet long, linking to a pair of spans on the banks of the river that are 95 feet each. Overall, the project adds a little less than a mile of new trail to the network. Worth noting: The bridge will sometimes swing open to allow for river traffic. But those closures to pedestrians will be brief: The bridge needs roughly 3 minutes to open and another 3 to close. ✨ 1 notable thing: The new span is the only public swing bridge in the city. Zoom in: The swing bridge creates 4.7 miles of uninterrupted trails from Bartram's Garden to the Fairmount Water Works beside the Philadelphia Museum of Art. How to
