After only three months in office, Palmerton Mayor Guy Zern is changing the actions and attitudes of the residents.

An example of the attitude changes is that drivers are stopping at crosswalks to give pedestrians a chance to cross the street.Delaware Avenue is not only a state highway, but it is Palmerton's main street.The Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code states that drivers are required to give the right of way to pedestrians.Concerned about public safety, the mayor is concentrating on enforcing the state law.
