Lehigh Canal Recreation Commission July 17, 2018 Elaine L. Chao
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.
