This blog has been created to meet an enormous unmet need --for the Lehigh Valley to have a unified passenger rail service linked with NYC and Philadelphia. I plan on designing this blog -as not just something you will passively read, but one in which you can USE to effect change to get politicians to wake up out of their inertia. I will soon be posting elected officials' contact information along with letters/ information you can use to communicate your demand for transportation choices for our community. This blog will also inform residents to attend important events that will determine the future of rail in the Lehigh Valley.
Why do elected leaders think nothing of spending hundreds of millions on widening roads (such as a few mile stretch on 22) and hesitate when asked about spending far less on creating passenger rail?
Do not sit silently when some politicians or bureaucrats caution rail service could take many years. We must speak in a more powerful united voice and DEMAND PASSENGER RAIL NOW!
It is every citizens' responsibility to hold every elected official's feet to the fire. They have an obligation to prioritize this and PUT LEHIGH VALLEY ON THE FAST TRACK!
