    Lehigh Canal Recreation Commission July 17, 2018 Elaine L. Chao Secretary of Transportation United States Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE Washington, DC 20590 Re: BUILD 2018: Riverside Drive Multimodal Revitalization Corridor Project Dear Ms. Chao: This letter is to express support for the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission’s request for a 2018 BUILD grant. The grant funding requested is a missing link to fully connect the 165-mile D&L Trail. The project location near the mid-point of this long-distance trail will impact the four townships and three boroughs that the Lehigh Canal Recreation Commission represents via Allentown’s Riverside Drive Multimodal Revitalization Corridor project. We include Parryville, East Penn, Mahoning, and Franklin townships as well as Lehighton, Weissport and Jim Thorpe Boroughs. Riverside Drive is a 3.25 mile multi-municipal commuter corridor, includes a twelve foot bike and walking commuter corridor that is part of the main north-south route of the D&L Trail. This is a collaboration of more than 20 local public, private and non-profit organizations working together. It is a critical commuting link in the 165-mile Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor Trail network and offers an alternative travel option to regional trail systems and job centers. It improves connectivity between rural and urban areas of the Lehigh Valley and eastern Pennsylvania. The project is located along a vacated rail corridor adjacent to a redevelopment project known as The Waterfront, in the City of Allentown. On the large former brownfield, formerly Lehigh Structural Steel, the project will provide a river walk, floating docks to support public access to the river, two public plazas, and a main street through the adjacent site redevelopment.

To lift the loaded cars out of the Wyoming Valley at the north end of the route, he used a series of three inclined planes, known as the “Ashley Planes,” run by powerful stationary engines similar in design to those on the Allegheny Portage Railroad. These planes were said to have the highest lift of any in the world. The rail line also included a 1,800-foot tunnel north of White Haven. Disaster struck Josiah White’s enterprises in 1841 when a tremendous flood rolled down the Lehigh Valley, with great loss of life, destroying most of the Lehigh Navigation System, portions of his coal and iron works, and virtually all of the beautifully constructed locks of the Lehigh Valley Canal. Such a catastrophe would have ruined a lesser man, but Josiah White, with fierce determination, within four months rebuilt enough of his navigation system to get back into operation, at least to Philadelphia, and shortly thereafter, restored most of his canal system to its original condition.

  • 1969 the Amazing Pennsylvania Canals. by William H. Shank, P. E
    1969 BOOK REVIEWS 207 The Amazing Pennsylvania Canals. By William H. Shank, P. E. (York, Pa. :The Historical Society of York County, 1965. Pp. 81. Bibliography. $2.25.) Untilabout 1790, Philadelphia was the leading United States sea- port on the North Atlantic. Baltimore, the eastern terminus of the toll-free "National Road" completed in 1820, was putting in its bid for the rapidly growing Northwest trade. The City of New York became the country's leading seaport in the early 1800's due to the completion of the Erie Canal. Born of rivalry and fear, many of them never a financial success, Pennsylvania's canals had an extremely important influence on the state's development. Turnpikes had proven inadequate. The railroad age had not dawned. Canals were the answer, in these early times, for moving larger amounts of freight more quickly at less cost. This book is an excellent, concise history of canals and canal days in Pennsylvania. The illustrations are superb. There are fifty-eight pictures, four of them in color, three maps and two drawings. The book begins with a discussion of the development of canals in America. Following is a discussion of all Pennsylvania canals publicly and privately owned. Discussion of the publicly owned canals begins with the Union Canal. This is followed by the "Main Line" Canal System, divided into the following topics :the Eastern Division,the Western Division, the Juniata Division, the Allegheny Portage Railroad, the Columbia and Philadelphia Railroad and the "Main Line" Portable Boats. Other publicly owned canals discussed are: the Susquehanna Division, the North Branch Division, the Delaware Division, the Beaver and Erie Divisionand the Wisconisco Division.

  • Transportation
    CHAPTER V Transportation BY WILLIAM J. BACKES I. River Navigation IT IS obvious that the growth of any community is inextricably bound up with the growth of its means of transportation. Natural waterways, ferries, bridges, roads, canals, railways - all enter as vital factors into the expansion of a community from a village into a modern industrial center. Trenton’s rise among the cities of New Jersey provides but one more proof of this fundamental economic principle. The great natural highway of commerce and travel in this section is, of course, the Delaware River. When New Jersey and Pennsylvania were unopened territory, wholly in the control of the Indians, the sole means of travel on the river was the canoe. Later came the bateau, a flat- bottomed boat tapering at the ends, in which it was possible to carry heavier and more bulky loads than in light birch-bark canoes. These boats lent themselves to short, quick water hauls, but they were quite ineffective on long trips or in river traffic above the Falls, where the problem of the rapids had to be met. The Delaware has never especially favored transportation over its course. Between Easton and the head of the tidewater at Trenton there are no less than twenty-five rapids or falls, the head of the rapids at Bixler’s Rift (the first of the rapids) being 160 feet above low tide at Trenton. Those 1 who travelled the river in the 1800’s found it difficult to follow the channel not only above the Falls, but below Trenton as well.
