Author: Amanda Eustice (WNEP) Updated: 4:51 PM EDT April 22, 2021 LEHIGHTON, Pa. — Wider walkways and safer crosswalks are two of the proposed upgrades along Lehighton's waterfront. The borough was awarded $250,000 in state funding to improve pedestrian safety and traffic. "Having some of the funds distributed to other areas around Carbon County is great because then more people can come and explore other areas, and then they can see the different businesses that are here as well," said Rebecca Akins.
