Good morning, Allentown.

Obadiah Whack, an Allentown man, pleaded guilty to felony murder after admitting three days into his trial that he fired through an apartment door, fatally shooting 35-year-old Giselle Trabal in 2023 — the court sentenced him to 30 to 60 years in state prison.

Allentown officials have launched a Citywide Bike Plan Survey to gather ideas on making bike lanes, trails and safety features more connected and secure—input is accepted until Tuesday, April 30 and will guide a final bike plan expected in late summer.

This survey aims to focus on safety upgrades, network expansion and sustainable transportation for all residents.
