Transportation Planners Gathering Public Comments for Draft Berks County Active Transportation Plan

Berks County transportation planners are seeking input from the public on how to reduce barriers to walking, bicycling, and accessibility in Berks County and the best methods to achieve those goals. The car has been the dominant choice for people to travel to work, school, shopping centers, etc. As roads become congested and air quality diminishes, people look for other ways to get where they want to go. Additionally, some people do not own a vehicle, and the only way to get around Berks County is to travel on foot, by bicycle, or by using an assistive device. Also, increased health awareness and changes in transportation choices — including the rapid increase in the use of e-bikes and e-scooters — necessitate a review of the overall transportation system.

As a Historic Measles Outbreak Hits Pennsylvania Amish Country, More Show Openness to Vaccines

EPHRATA, Pa. (AP) — Amish and Mennonite shoppers in conservative dress mingled with shoppers from the wider public on a recent Friday at a vast outdoor market here, where vendors sold colorful pumpkins and mums, fry pies and squash, sports jerseys and Barbie accessories. Such interactions are common in Lancaster County, home to the largest Amish population in the U.S. — and the epicenter of the nation’s worst measles outbreak in 35 years. While they avoid many types of civic engagement for religious reasons, the Amish — like many other groups vulnerable to measles across the nation — are not truly separate. “We are all interconnected,” said Dr. Diego Hijano of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Robust vaccination rates once protected Americans much better. But rates among the general public are now falling , and rates have long been low among the Amish, creating the perfect conditions for the contagious virus — officially considered “eliminated” from the U.S. since 2000 — to spread here and beyond. Pennsylvania has the most U.S. cases, with over 1,350 this year, more than a third in Lancaster County alone , according to state figures. That’s a big undercount, community leaders say, since many people

The Rowdy River Town of Marietta

Walk Front Street in genteel Marietta today, and you will soak in the river’s peace and the quaint Victorian structures. But back in the day, Marietta was known as a “rowdy river town”. If you walked Front Street in the mid-nineteenth century, you would be stepping into a beehive of activity. Taverns, wharves, and warehouses lined the streets. And of course, a red-light district.
