Safe Driving or more like Frogger

 This week has been a great success story in Mayor Tuerks safe driving, safe streets he claims Allentown has.  Police chased a man from Philly the other night (good job, though the officers involved wont get any credit) who drove into a bunch of cars. Then there was a hit and run to a pedestrian yesterday.  I dont know about you but how the hell are you even supposed to walk in the city?  Maniacs trying to flee from the police then ping ponging off of cars.  People getting hit by cars.  This is a regular occurrence, but not everyone who gets hit makes the news. You need to walk with your head on a swivel and park your vehicles in garages or they might get hit.  Yet the Mayor wants bike lanes and says there wont be accidents by 2030 or something. Am I missing something?

Its getting worse. The roads arent good, everyones in a fucking hurry. My car got side swiped twice on Turner St. Where da police at?

Bike lanes in Allentown would be an" attractive nuisance", a legal term meaning attracting someone to danger. They actually put those stencils on MLK drive, which is even dangerous for cars.

This mayor only wants bike lanes for himself and YOU get to pay for them, monetarily and by increased traffic frustration and lowered safety. He can routinely be seen riding his bike around the city like the low budget Pee Wee Herman knock off he portrays. His successes in Allentown have only benefited himself and his controlling powers who manipulate his strings.

Turek has been riding around willy nilly in the streets of center city, ignoring traffic laws, since he came to Allentown. In those days he had his beautiful little Scottish Border terrier run along with him until it was inevitably killed by a car. The lovely pup died in the street.

You guys forgot that on certain fridays you can "ride with the mayor." I presume he and whoever goes with him do not obey the laws. He shouldn't be riding on city time either.

Don’t bring your little dog along unleashed. The Mayor probably doesn’t want to see another little dog killed by a car while he is riding around town.

The streets of Allentown have become (are) an extension of
Pocono Raceway... at least it sounds that way... or, for you older folks, it sounds like the Saturday night stock car races at Dorney Park of the 50s and 60s... and our police are conspicuously MIA.

Mayor McPronoun was quick to go in front of a camera and announce that the streets are unsafe due to the easy access to guns. Right after an armed citizen defended himself against an angry man with a bat. Mayor McPronouns pronouns are "out of touch" and "living in a dream world". What about easy access to baseball bats... Silly, silly man on his silly silly bicycle riding around looking like PeeWee Herman. You cannot make this stuff up.

I rated this comment dour, misguided and slightly pusillanimous, for a guy who probably hasn't ridden a bicycle in 60 years they sure do rent a lot of space in your head, Hermano Tuérk on the other hand makes it look easy he's a total beast on the bicí!

Lets put an art sculpture on Hamilton.

  Did you see the new statue placed in the 900blk of Hamilton St?   "The Abduction of Psyche” was placed outside the Archer Music Hall ...
