Elissa Garafalo, Dennis Demara and Scott Everett attended the East Penn meeting this week, representing the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor.

They said they will be seeking, within the next month or two, an agreement with the township to place flashing warning signs for pedestrians along Route 895 where a hiking path crosses the highway.The only cost to the township will be maintaining the sign, which will operate on solar power. Demara said the Heritage Corridor will give funds to the township for the first three years of maintenance. The cost of maintaining it is minimal, he said.There were two other matters brought up regarding the Delaware and Lehigh Heritage Corridor.Robert Kleintop, the township's EMA coordinator, said there presently is only one mile marker located along the stretch of the bike and walking path that goes through the township.Demara said others have been vandalized, but will be replaced.Garafalo said a pedestrian bridge is planned for crossing the Lehigh River in Jim Thorpe and the township will be asked to approve it since the bridge will touch the Lehigh Canal tow path. The tow path is governed by the Lehigh Canal Recreation Commission, comprised of seven municipalities. She said six of those seven municipalities have shown support for the bridge. Approval is still needed from East Penn.A site visit will be held in Jim Thorpe for the bridge at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 20. Those attending should meet at the Jim Thorpe train station.
