Route 33 Interchange Meeting

FYI - there will be a public meeting tonight at 7PM at the Chrin Community Center in Palmer Township to discuss the proposed Route 33 Interchange on Tatamy Road. I encourage everyone to attend. I will be there, and will provide an update after the meeting.

I've said it before and I'll go on the record again and say publicly that I wholly support this project - at the end of the day I think it's what Tatamy and the surrounding area needs to encourage smart growth, which, in turn, results in jobs and much needed revenue and resources for the Borough.

Main Street Repair Work Scheduled ** FINALLY **

I am happy to announce that the much-awaited repairs to Main Street have been scheduled to begin Monday, June 15th. There are no parking signs posted on the south side of Main Street between 7th and Bushkill Street. No parking is in effect from 7AM to 4PM starting Monday "until further notice". The no-parking signs that have been obscured by the recent rainfall will be changed out sometime today (thanks to blog reader Eileen for bringing this to my attention).

Have a great weekend everyone!

Severe Thunderstorm Watch 'til 8PM

The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 8PM for the Lehigh Valley. Please keep your eyes to the sky.

According to the National Weather Service, a Severe Thunderstorm is:

A thunderstorm that produces either of the following: winds of 50 kts (58 mph) or greater (these speeds can result in structural or tree damage), hail ¾" in diameter or larger, or a tornado. Lightning frequency is not a warning criteria for issuing a severe thunderstorm warning. Severe thunderstorms can result in the loss of life and property. They can also produce a tornado with little or no advanced warning. A table of hail sizes can be found in this glossary, under the definition of hail.
