BETHLEHEM, Pa. — What’s the state of traffic in the Lehigh Valley, and how can it improve?

Those were among the questions discussed Friday afternoon during a roundtable at the Univest Public Media Center.

As part of our project The Road Ahead, LehighValleyNews.com assembled a group familiar with many of the region’s traffic- and transportation-related issues.

You can watch a replay of the livestream here. The discussion also streamed on LehighValleyNews.com’s Facebook and on the PBS39 YouTube channel.

Participants were:

Lt. William Audelo, Bethlehem Police Department;
Becky Bradley, Lehigh Valley Planning Commission;
Bob Dolan, Pa. Motor Truck Association;
State Rep. Peter Schweyer, D-Lehigh;
Scott Slingerland, Coalition for Appropriate Transportation.

Reporter Tom Shortell served as moderator.

The Univest Public Media Center is headquarters for PBS39, LehighValleyNews.com and 91.3 WLVR.
