Bethlehem's Mixed Signals - It Continues to Cancel Meetings, But Will Start Ticketing Overtime Parkers Again

Bethlehem Mayor Bob Donchez announced yesterday that he's cancelling all public meetings, except for City Council, through Friday May 15, 2020 . This includes his monthly “Open Door” on May 11, 2020. But at the same time, the Parking Authority intends to start enforcing meter and street sweeping again, starting on May 4. You'll also have to pay to use the City's garages.

According to the so-called parking experts, the reason for meters is to prevent people from lingering at a business. But since nearly all business is shut down, it's ridiculous to penalize residents for parking wherever they want, so long as it is no threat to public safety.

Parking enforcement should be delayed until Governor Tom Wolf allows businesses to function again.

Besides, unless you are a City worker, it's very unlikely that anyone on Bethlehem has any spare change. no one has any spare change

Bedlam is a patriarchy of the connected. Always has been always will be. How did low talents like Cunningham and Callahan leave office and get high paying jobs? Connections baby, connections. The Bedlam kind. Feed th especial interests and they will feed you.

2:08 I agree with you 100%. It is also well known that a deal was made between Donchez and Reynolds for running for Mayor. Reynolds backed off and let Bob run and Bob will endorse Reynolds for the next election. Workers here at the city know the fix is in for Reynolds. The sad part is the citizens will sit back and watch it happen. I hope someone from outside the inner circle runs for Mayor. The citizens of Bethlehem have to take action to get their City back.
