South Bethlehem Greenway!

Adrian and I intend to focus on the South Bethlehem Greenway that's in the works right now, and we would like to implement a "revitalizing the South Side" type of theme. I actually just finished a practicum class in which 12 students in varying fields of study created a formal proposal for the city for the most efficient use of a designated space on the greenway. A huge part of the city's objective is integrating the Lehigh and Bethlehem communities. Although it's not apparent on campus, residents, small business owners and stakeholders are really involved, or at least interested, in the project and have a lot to say. City officials and a few people on campus would really like to see the Lehigh community gain some knowledge about the project, too. I know there is quite a number of people to speak with about the project both on campus and off, and this is a pretty monumental project in Bethlehem with significant purposes.

The blog could track the progress of the construction of the greenway when it resumes during warm weather and follow the city's plans for it. We would like to relay the many reason the greenway is being created by informing our blog readers about the city of Bethlehem's plans for revitalizing the South Side. This could be achieved through research, interviews, updates and video images of the area. An objective would be to include the perspectives of everyone in the area from resident to officials to kids to Lehigh students in order to show the significance of the project the impact it could have in contributing to improving the state of living in Bethlehem.
