The purpose of this study is to identify potential trail projects, programs, policies, and guidelines that will better connect pedestrians and bicyclists to Allentown’s excellent system of parks and trails. In addition to trails, this study features many streetscape im- provements for bicyclists and pedestrians. Such improvements are necessary to safely connect more people from neighborhoods to parks, schools and other important destinations, where creat- ing typical off-road trails is not possible.1 Examples of streetscape improvements include adding high-visibility crosswalks and cross- ing signals at intersections, and painting and signing select streets to better accommodate bicyclists. Programs are also identified in The ‘hubs and spokes’ model conceptually illustrates how the study that can be used to increase safety while encouraging destinations are linked through various types of trail, bicycle, higher amounts of walking, bicycling, and trail use. and pedestrian facilities. Background This study was financed in part by theH arry C. Trexler Trust, and by a grant from the Com- munity Conservation Partnerships Program, Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund under the administration of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Nat- ural Resources, Bureau of Recreation and Conservation. The City’s intent to create a system of locally and regionally linked trails was established in advance of this study in the officially adoptedCity of Allentown Comprehensive Plan, Allentown 2020 (see statement #8 on pages 17-18), and in the City of Allentown Parks and Recreation Master Plan (see initiative #1 on page 8). Furthermore, the Leigh Valley Greenway Plan recognizes the City of Allentown as the focal point to connecting regional trails. These and other relevant planning documents are summarized at the end of Chapter 2, including excerpts showing support for this type of study. The goal of a connected system of trails is clearly supported in these plans because of the benefits that trails have for communities. Scores of studies from experts in the fields of public health, urban planning, urban ecology, real estate, transportation, sociology, and The City’s intent for this study was economics have acknowledged the substantial value of supporting walking and bicycling as 2 established in the officially adopted they relate to active living, alternative transportation, and economic growth.

Communities across the United States are building similar trail networks. They do so because of their obligations to promote health, safety and welfare, and also because of the grow- ing awareness of the many benefits associated with increasing com- munity livability through bicycle, pedestrian, and trail resources. The Process In January 2009, the City of Allentown began this study with a set of ‘kick-off’ meetings for the Steering Committee and the general public. Each meeting was attended by 20 or more people, and covered the overall scope, vision and goals of the study. Spring of 2009 was dedicated to the analysis of existing plans, GIS data, field research, and the start of the public comment form. Ini- tial findings were presented at the April 2009 committee meeting, at Above: The January 2010 public meeting for the trails study. which point more than 450 people had filled out comment forms.

  • Little Lehigh Creek Visual Assessment WHITEHALL TOWNSHIP ALLENTOWN CITY
    Coldwater Heritage Partnership LITTLE LEHIGH CREEK COLDWATER CONSERVATION PLAN October 2007 Acknowledgements This project was not possible without the support of the partners listed below. The Lehigh County Conservation District (LCCD) was critical in the development of the Con- servation Plan. The Watershed Specialist Rebecca Kennedy and Conservation Program Spe- cialist Erin Frederick took on significant roles beyond expectations to ensure success. They were involved in all aspects including developing the protocol for the visual stream assess- ment, surveying dozens of reaches, and designing a GIS format to better interpret the data col- lected. LCCD invested enormous amounts of resources and GIS expertise that allowed the partners to develop a Conservation Plan more comprehensive than thought possible. In addition, dedicated members of the Little Lehigh Trout Unlimited and Saucon Creek Water- shed Association volunteered numerous hours walking the main stem of the Little Lehigh Creek to assess the state of the waterway. Two members of the Saucon Creek Watershed Association deserve special recognition. These volunteers surveyed the greatest number of reaches and their dedication was greatly appreci- ated. Terry Boos Ray Follador We would like to also thank the hard work of the following volunteers that spent time assessing the creek. Bob Ditmars Greg Gliwa Allan Johnson Stacy Reed Jeff Sabo Burt Schaffer Mario Spagnoletti Powen Wang This plan was made possible through a grant from the Coldwater Heritage Partnership. The Partnership is a collabo- rative effort between the PA Fish & Boat Commission, PA De- partment of Conservation and Natural Resources, Western Penn- sylvania Watershed Protection Program and Pennsylvania Trout.

    Annual Report July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2017 More Educational Opportunities for Student Success Leadership Message Richard L. Button President 2016 – 2017 Dear Friends, The Allentown School District Foundation’s Board of Directors and the three part-time folks who work for the foundation continued to focus our efforts on quality and quantity. There has been positive movement on all fronts, improving our program delivery and increasing the number of active participants in all our efforts. Our purpose remains vital, and that is to drive more dollars into classrooms for greater impact. We have raised almost $2.1 million since 2009 to fund our programs. Here are some the highlights: . We are proud partners with the Allentown School District (ASD), as we identify programs and opportunities that will result in real progress for our students and for our schools. Executive Director, Susan L. Williams, who joined us in November 2015, produced and distributed an online survey that is the basis of the foundation’s new strategic plan. Sent to approximately 300 community leaders and ASD educators, the survey’s responses provided much needed consensus and direction for our future priorities. Our Board of Directors remains the backbone of this non-profit effort. We are continuing to recruit new directors from Allentown’s growing professional and business community that believe in our mission. We hold ourselves accountable to our donors and supporters. ASDF Administrator Vicki Newhard now tracks student participation in our programs, with real-time data. Called the “ASDF Impact Report,” it identified 5,332 students who participated in ASDF programs in 2016-2017, double the number in the previous year (see page 3).

  • City with Limits: an Untold History of Residential Segregation and Education Inequality in Allentown, PA
    City with Limits: An Untold History of Residential Segregation and Education Inequality in Allentown, PA By: Wilberto Sicard Outline ● Part 1: Introduction ● Part 2: One City, Two Neighborhoods ● Part 3: A Tale of Two Schools ● Part 4: Conclusion Introduction ● In January 2010, Allentown adopted a new slogan titled, “City without limits” to underscore the city’s rebounding economy and future prosperity amid the downfall of the Great Recession ● However, Allentonians of color could not embrace this slogan because their history in Allentown was defined by oppressive limits ● This project works to highlight these limits placed on Allentown’s African American and Latinx communities ● The thesis accomplishes this by utilizing Richard Rothstein’s theory in The Color of Law and showing that Allentown’s 1960s urban renewal projects were a form of de jure, or by the law, segregation. ● The thesis then extends this theory to show the long-term impact of segregation on the city’s public school system ● This project ends by offering policy proposals that would lead to a true “City without limits.” One City, Two Neighborhoods ● By 1960, 745 African American people lived in Allentown ● Of these 745, 528 lived in the downtown area ● These people of color were restricted to this area as a result of redlining ● Private landlords and home sellers would not rent/sell homes outside of inner-city area to Allentonians of color ● Banks would not give mortgages to people of color either ● These policies make up the de facto, or practices that existed in reality,
