Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 20th of April.
Good morning, Allentown.
🏛️ Government
PennDOT recently put up curved road signs on Route 611 in Northampton County to warn drivers of bends—though some locals say the signs are not needed because the road is mostly straight.
Township officials say the signs help slow speeds, but residents like Richard Wilford-Hunt ask what the cost is to taxpayers—raising concerns about visual clutter.
🏥 Health
Allentown officials held a kickoff at the PPL Center for a new health initiative called *Blue Zones Project* that aims to make healthy choices easy through balanced nutrition, regular movement and social connections.
The *5-year* program, invited by Lehigh Valley Health Network, will work with local groups to track improvements in well-being over time.
