Hi, Gadfly,
I’m curious about John Rothschild’s last statement.
Southside residents and longtime Bethlehem folks (and perhaps others?) do use Packer as an W/E and E/W route.
I rarely choose the bigger more congested streets.
Faster to weave through the eastern area once Packer ends than to go 4th. And 3rd is just ridiculous these days . . .
Also: Love the idea of the city working to reduce the no. of FedEx trucks in particular. Truck traffic is too heavy, and really bad for air quality over here now.
