PUBLIC REVIEW PERIOD NOW OPEN
Walk/RollLV is the Lehigh Valley’s first ever transportation network masterplan aimed at creating a connected road, trail, sidewalk and transit network that’s safe and convenient for pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers and transit users. A draft of Walk/RollLV was released December 5, 2019 by the Lehigh Valley Transportation Study and will remain open for public review through January 18, 2020. Included in that 45-day review process is a public meeting at 9 am, January 8, 2020, at the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission. Comments can be made in the comment box or by emailing planning@lvpc.org.
