LISBON Mixed reactions from fire and police chiefs have yet again halted a decision on a consolidated 911 dispatching center for the county.
County commissioner Tim Weigle brought the issue before the 911 emergency services committee during its Thursday meeting, although the idea of consolidating the five 911 dispatch centers has been in discussion since 2013. Weigle brought the issue back up after Sheriff Brian McLaughlin organized a meeting for public-safety answering point chiefs to discuss their thoughts about the potential consolidation. Despite the meeting, Weigle, who serves as committee chairman, said the issue is still being discussed outside of the committee and he wants everyone involved to weigh in on the decision.

Failing Coopersburg bridge closed indefinitely
Updated May 03, 2021;
A failing bridge in Lehigh County has been closed indefinitely because of deterioration, PennDOT officials have announced.
West State Street in Coopersburg was closed in both directions as of Thursday, over the small span between Main Street and John Alley, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said last week.
The road is closed indefinitely until repairs can be made, the department noted.
“Over the years, we’ve seen decay on it,” Borough Manager Tim Paashaus said. That included a recent dip and settling in the roadway, and sinking of the sidewalk.
Traffic will be detoured to Gun Club Road, Mill Road and Main Street.
