This week I rode from Jacksonville park to the d and l trailhead and north early in the morning. On the way back I found a trail closed sign and was forced onto route 248 to get home. I was nearly killed by a speeding dump truck. I will never ride again. How in the world do you close a trail when folks have gone one way and now can’t get home? Do you realize how hazardous it is for a bike on Pennsylvania highways? There are no restrictions on speeding dump trucks.

This is what is called transparency. A government has an obligation to inform its citizens what it is doing. In the next election, you can attack him for his accomplishments. Good luck.

Catty, Copley, Northampton, Catty, Fullerton etc..) and you can get back on the D&L in Allentown at Canal Park to ride from Slatington to Easton and points south. I would argue as well that successful trout fishing the Slatington to Coplay stretch of the Lehigh River might be a bit more challenging than the average weekend fisherman is accustomed to. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-15701524664797608322020-05-28T06:42:43.241-04:002020-05-28T06:42:43.241-04:00We now have come to realize how wise it was to inv...We now have come to realize how wise it was to invest in nature trails and the like.

I have biked it several times in the past. The biggest problem I have with this trail is the motorist do not heed the trail crossing signs on Weaversville Rd & Airport Rd. Anyone crossing these roads become a target. I hope Norco upgrades these crossings to make them safer maybe by installing user activated warning lights like the D&L has at PA 895 in Bowmanstown.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
