After four years of planning, designing and panedmic-related setbacks, bicycle racks are finally being installed throughout the borough of Stroudsburg.
“This is something we needed for our walk-able town,” said Stroudsburg Mayor Tarah Probst. “We are a recreational area and we are home to the famous Glen Park with all the great biking trails and biking clubs. We felt offering bike racks would also encourage more people to be physically active.”
Probst said the racks were necessary for riders that wanted to bring their bikes downtown.
“It is illegal to lock up your bikes around light posts or utility poles, although we’ve been lenient because we didn’t have anything else,” Probst said. “It’s the right thing to do for our residents and the kids that bike here. If they want to come downtown they can bring their bikes and keep them safe.”

A brief history of Monroe County | Something to Think About
Debbie Kulick
For those who were living in Monroe County in 2011, you may well recall the 175th Anniversary of the county date of creation.
The celebration was not as grandiose as that of the Sesquicentennial (150th), but it did have a significant amount of history shared by many local historians.
The following county and township history was provided by Jeffrey L. Wright, Esq.
The history of Monroe County, which was formed on April 1, 1836 from parts of Pike and Northampton Counties, is rich and certainly helps us understand much of the landscape we have today.
STROUDSBURG The Pocono Family YMCA will get long-sought upgrades to the pool and other renovations at its building on Main Street in Stroudsburg Borough, state Rep. Maureen Madden, D-Monroe, announced Tuesday.
The grant from the Pennsylvania Redevelopment Assistance Capital program is part of $4 million in grants to the Poconos. Most of the money will be spent in Stroudsburg.
Besides the YMCA, the grant will include $1 million in work at the Pocono Mountain Industrial Park Authority and $1 million for a major addition to the Stroud Mansion.
In addition to the pool, the money for the YMCA will be spent on ADA-compliant improvements, sprinkler systems, interior restructuring and additional parking.
